Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s James Gunn’s first official footage. Superman movie!
Well, more or less. The inaugural trailer for the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) movie isn’t here yet; in fact, the first Superman The film’s trailer won’t be publicly released until tomorrow (December 19). But, to whet our appetite before its arrival, DC Studios co-head James Gunn has given us a taste of what’s to come through a 30-second preview.
Look
There’s not much we can glean from the first round of DCU Chapter One movie footage. The teaser is full of wide shots, like an aerial view of a 3D version of The Daily Planet’s iconic logo that sits high on its building based in Metropolis, and crowds of people looking at an unknown object. Among those present in one group is Lois Lane, a reporter for Rachel Brosnahan’s Daily Planet, also known as Clark Kent/Superman’s eternal love interest.
It’s not until the 0:10 mark that we get a brief glimpse of Corenswet’s Man of Steel. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that shows the camera closely following Superman as he flies over a frozen place. The legendary DC hero’s Fortress of Solitude base is often located in remote areas of the world, such as the Arctic, so this shot is likely taken from a portion of the film showing Kent in his home away from the Arctic. home.
The rest of the teaser comprises shots similar to those mentioned above. In fact, there are a couple more shots of the crowd, one of which shows people running away from… something. I’m willing to bet they’re not running away from the Kryptonian metahuman, but from the main villain who was apparently teased. SupermanThe first image of who will appear in one of the most anticipated new films of 2025.
Anyway, the final clip shows Superman launching into the sky to hide in the clouds. My best guess is that this is part of a montage depicting his first flight in his iconic blue and red supersuit, or a moment to hide from prying eyes. Either way, you’ll believe a man can fly once. Superman takes off in theaters on July 11, 2025.
