James Gunn has unveiled the first official trailer for his highly anticipated Superman, marking a new chapter in DC's cinematic universe.
The two-and-a-half-minute trailer expands on the preview shown in the teaser trailer, giving fans their first glimpse of the iconic hero in action, as Superman flies over the city of Metropolis, alongside a slow-motion version of John Williams' classic Superman theme. The trailer begins with a scene where Superman is lying motionless in the snow, blood dripping from his mouth. Krypto starts running towards his master midway through the clip, as the fallen hero chants “Take me home.”
The upcoming film explores Superman's journey to balance his Kryptonian roots and his human upbringing, promising an earthy yet inspiring story. David Corenswet brings a youthful warmth to the role, while Rachel Brosnahan gives a sharp and modern interpretation of the character of Lois Lane.
The trailer offers a glimpse into the Daily Planet newsroom, introducing characters like Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. However, the character of Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, remains a mystery for now, leaving fans eager to see how this new version of the iconic villain will fare.
Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025. Watch the trailer above.
