A trailer for Superman may be coming sooner than fans thought! James Gunn provides a long-awaited updated on the film’s trailer.
Ever since filming for Superman wrapped back in July, fans have been begging for any glimpse they could get at a trailer. However, James Gunn has been rather chaste in providing teases for the highly-anticipated reboot. This has left many fans wondering when marketing for the DC Universe’s inaugural film will pick up in earnest. Luckily, an update suggests that footage from the film may be debuting sooner rather than later.
When asked about the progress of the trailer for Superman, James Gunn revealed on Threads that it isn’t finished yet. However, he did reveal that he was actively working on it as recently as last weekend. Given footage from the film is already being assembled, it likely means fans will see their first footage from the DC Universe reboot before the end of the year. Many speculate that the trailer could debut in front of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which is set to be a tentpole film this upcoming holiday season.
When Will The Superman Trailer Release?
Another option for when the first trailer for Superman could drop is the first day of the New Year. Given the film is meant to be the first film in a brand new DC Universe, it would make sense for James Gunn to want to hold off until 2025 to begin the marketing push with a fresh slate. It also aligns with reports that next year will be the “Summer of Superman,” with Warner Bros. Discovery putting a large amount of their marketing capabilities behind the film before its release in May.
Regardless of when the trailer actually drops, this update from James Gunn does give fans hope that the new dawn for a DC Universe is close on the horizon. The universe has had a dark era in recent years, with superhero films in general experiencing a downturn in critical reception and box office success. The reboot provides a fresh slate for both DC Studios and the genre as a whole, with many believing it could be the key to a new golden age of superhero media.
Superman is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the DC Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
