The DC Universe is gearing up for its next big release, the Superman trailer, with writer-director James Gunn hard at work on the 2025 film. The movie stars David Corenswet as Superman, replacing Henry Cavill, and promises a fresh take on the iconic character.
The trailer drops a lot of hints, including the introduction of classic DC characters such as Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Lisabeth Shaw plays Hawkgirl, and the trailer also features Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern, Jonathan Kent, and Metamorpho. There are shots of different creatures and robots, including a massive kaiju and a robot that Superman seems to be grieving.
The trailer begins with Superman, battered and bloody, crash-landing in the snow, before switching to his Clark Kent persona at the Daily Planet. In the trailer, Krypto the Superdog plays a key role, coming to Superman’s rescue, and the footage is interspersed with other teases from the movie, set to a new riff on John Williams’ classic Superman score.
The trailer reveals a wealth of information, including Superman’s struggles to save a little girl and help people around the world, as well as his interactions with Lois. The tone appears to be a mix of action, adventure, and drama, with moments of darkness and despair balanced by bright and fun scenes.
The Superman movie looks promising, with a lot of character development and epic scope. With James Gunn at the helm, the film is sure to be an exciting addition to the DC Universe. The movie is set to release on July 11, 2025.
