Up in the sky! Look! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the new Superman trailer!
Fans got their first look at Superman—coming to theaters July 11, 2025—and as the film’s writer and director James Gunn has promised before, the comic book-based movie is helping launch a new take on the DC Universe.
The trailer starts off with David Corsenswet as Superman, sporting a costume reminiscent of the character’s look from the New 52 comics, with the addition of Superman’s iconic red trunks. And while he appears to be in dire straits, he’s quickly aided by Superman’s favorite good boy, his dog Krypto.
Set to an electric guitar-version of John Williams‘ epic Superman theme from the 1978 film, the teaser also gives glimpses of Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane—a journalist and Clark’s love interest—and Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luthor. Plus, a slew of other DC characters make appearances, including Green Lantern Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and Jimmy Olsen (Skylar Gisondo).
