Superman teaser trailer

The trailer not only introduces Superman, but also several other members of the DC Universe, most notably Krypto, the super dog. The teaser was praised by fans for its bright tone, which is very different from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, which is known for its darker take on the character and his life.

The teaser begins with an injured Superman bleeding in the snow. We see glimpses of his life as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent as he exchanges glances with Lois Lane. Then Superman whistles and Krypto comes to get him. What follows is a montage of Superman’s beginnings in Smallville and his evolution into the savior of the world we know.

Everything about James Gunn’s Superman

Gunn’s Superman will open a new DC Universe, different from the DCEU (DC Extended Universe), in which Henry Cavill played Superman and Zack Snyder was the leading creative force. Last year, James Gunn shared several BTS and set pictures of David Corenswet’s Superman as well as first look posters. Two days before the teaser, the filmmaker announced the teaser with first-look footage that introduced viewers to Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane.

Superman stars David Corenswet in the title role and is the third film reboot of the character in the last two decades, following films starring Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill. James Gunn directs the film and also stars Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva play along Howell. The release is scheduled for July 11, 2025.
