After many consecutive weeks of being teased by DC Studios director James Gunn, the official trailer for Superman, a part of the DC Universe (DCU), has finally been released. This marks the first live-action film in this universe, set to premiere on July 11, 2025.
The initial trailer for this blockbuster opens the door for the DCU with very few plot details revealed. Nonetheless, James Gunn and his production team certainly know how to keep the audience on edge by introducing a lineup of iconic characters, including Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, Jimmy Olsen, Green Lantern, and notably Krypto—the loyal companion of Clark Kent.
Additionally, the trailer features a powerful imagery of Superman, portraying him as a symbol of hope who struggles with his identity and often relies on the support of Krypto. It also evokes a sense of nostalgia and emotional depth that resonates with fans. It remains unclear what challenges Superman will face or which villains he will confront in this upcoming installment.
David Corenswet has been cast by James Gunn to portray the iconic role of Superman in the DCU. The film also stars Rachel Brosnahan (as Lois Lane), Nicholas Hoult (as Lex Luthor), Skyler Gisondo (as Jimmy Olsen), Isabela Merced (as Hawkgirl), Edi Gathegi (as Mister Terrific), and Nathan Fillion (as Green Lantern).
