The teaser trailer for the new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, has become the most-watched trailer for a solo Superman film. It has outperformed the trailers for the 2013 movie Man of Steel and reached this milestone in just a month since its release, which is a lot faster than the ten years it took for Man of Steel’s trailers to gain similar views.
This suggests that DC Studios is very interested in the reboot of the Superman franchise. It also looks like a positive sign for fans who are comparing the new DC Universe to the previous DCEU. The new film is a fresh take on the Superman character in the new DC Universe, aiming to portray him with an emphasis on his kindness and belief in humanity.
While there is a lot of interest in the film, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will do well at the box office. The movie is scheduled to come out in the summer, which is a busy time with other big releases like Jurassic World Rebirth and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It also suggests that a new trailer might be released during the Super Bowl, but there hasn’t been any official word on that yet.

David Corenswet, the actor playing Superman/Clark Kent, talked about how he’s preparing for the role. He shared that director James Gunn recommended he read the comic book All-Star Superman, which presented some unique challenges for portraying Clark Kent. Corenswet also mentioned that he looked at a silent version of Superman for visual inspiration to help him capture the character’s presence without using any words. Additionally, he took some inspiration from his tall brother-in-law, who has a deep voice.
The film is the first feature from DC Studios and will star David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The cast also includes 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 Howell. The movie aims to combine action, comedy, and emotion.
The movie is set to be released in theaters worldwide on July 11, 2025.
