Warner Bros. and DC Studios have released a 30-second sneak peek for Superman, offering fans a first glimpse of David Corenswet in action as the new Man of Steel. Written and directed by James Gunn, the brief teaser sets the tone for the highly-anticipated reboot, teasing the iconic hero’s big screen return in a reimagined DC Universe.
The full Superman trailer is set to debut tomorrow, Thursday, at 9 a.m. EST, marking a major moment for the new DC Universe under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership. With anticipation building, Superman is poised to set the stage for the next chapter in the DCU, following the debut of the animated series Creature Commandos on Max.
The teaser opens with a sweeping shot of the iconic Daily Planet building, setting the stage for the world of Superman. Characters like Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are seen watching something off-screen, before the scene shifts to crowds of people reacting with awe and panic, pulling out their phones to record something. The sneak peek ends with a tease of David Corenswet’s Superman soaring toward the sky.
What to expect from James Gunn’s Superman movie
Corenswet steps into the role of Superman, taking over from Henry Cavill, who portrayed the character in Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe. Rachel Brosnahan joins him as Lois Lane, alongside a star-studded cast that includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific. James Gunn, known for his distinct blend of humor and emotion in superhero projects like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, writes and directs the film.
A Superman motion poster released earlier this week gave fans a taste of the film’s tone and scope. It features Corenswet’s Superman in mid-flight, accompanied by the tagline “Look Up” and a snippet of the movie’s score composed by John Murphy, setting the stage for a grand cinematic experience filmed for IMAX.
Superman is set to launch a new chapter for the DC Universe under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership. The movie hits theaters on July 11, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as the DC Universe continues to unfold.
