Look up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the first fantastic trailer for James Gunn's Superman!

Krypto saves the day in this brilliant teaser of the Man of Steel reboot from the mastermind behind the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy.


Superman | Official Teaser Trailer


Okay, technically the new DC Universe got underway earlier this month with Max's animated series Creature Commandos, but that was just an amuse-bouche. Today, the Big Blue Boy Scout himself arrives with a splash in the first official trailer for director James Gunn's Superman.

Starring David Corenswet as the iconic Man of Steel, Superman, formerly titled Superman: Legacy, opens in theaters on July 11, 2025. The movie will be the first theatrical feature of the DCU with James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm of DC Studios, who bring an all-encompassing vision to the forefront.

This exciting teaser comes a full 18 months after Gunn announced he'd be helming Superman, which has seen just about every emotion there is to feel: anticipation, excitement, and the nagging uncertainty that we've become quite accustomed to. But trust us, it has paid off.

Feast your eyes on the latest big-screen rendition of the world's very first comic book superhero, and try telling us you aren't at least just a little over the moon. Over two full minutes, we get a really nice flavor of what's to come both in terms of the tone and style of this James Gunn Superman film with appearances from Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, and Metamorpho. But let's get real, there's only one scene stealer needed here, an adorable furry companion-Kal-El's loyal white wonder dog Krypto saving his injured master from falling. This heartwarming moment is inspired by Gunn's own adopted dog, Ozu.

We’re also treated to a touching moment with Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, sharing an emotional scene with Clark on the porch of the iconic Smallville farmhouse.

Corenswet stars in an ensemble cast, which includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Frank Grillo as Rick Flagg Sr., Angela Spica as The Engineer, Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, and Alan Tudyk in a role yet to be disclosed.

"It's not an origin story," Safran told THR last year. "It focuses on Superman's balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He's an icon that represents truth, justice and the American way. He's an old-fashioned kind of hero in a world that seems to have moved beyond that."
