The first trailer of 2025 Superman The movie is finally here, and if I wasn’t already excited for the first movie in the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU), I certainly am now.
Unveiled today (December 20), the two-minute-plus trailer, which arrived 24 hours after DC Studios released a teaser for the actual film. Superman The movie trailer is everything I and many other Superman fans wanted for Christmas this year. If this first proper look at the superhero movie is anything to go by, it will also be one of the biggest new movies to hit theaters in 2025.
Look
There’s a lot to unpack from James Gunn’s trailer. Superman movie. For one, we get our first look at the Man of Steel’s fellow heroes in action, including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific. They are all shown using their weapons and/or abilities to fight their enemies or, in Gardner’s case, keep the population of Metropolis away from Clark Kent/Superman, who retreats into a building to escape an angry mob. for unknown reasons. Are they simply afraid of who or what he is, or did he accidentally cause some major damage while (ironically) trying to save them from some intergalactic threat?
Anyway, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Supes’ fellow heroes before. During production, leaked images emerged online giving us our first look at Gethegi’s Mister Terrific in his comic book suit, with other images showing us Merced’s Hawkgirl and Fillion’s Green Lantern, who appear to be working (at least initially ) for Another DC villain in Maxwell Lord.
Then there are the multiple, sinister shots of Nicholas Hoult’s towering version of Lex Luthor, aka one of the legendary DC hero’s most notorious enemies. There are also some clips of Clark Kent/Supes and eternal love interest Lois Lane getting physically intimate. Oh, and there’s also a kaiju of sorts that the eponymous Kryptonian will face off against, as well as two other enigmatic enemies, one of which was teased when the first 2025 image was shown. Superman The film was revealed earlier this year.
However, the real star of the show is Superman’s furry best friend, Krypto the Superdog. Appearing in one of the trailer’s longest clips between 1:06 and 1:22, we see the Kryptonian canine, who is based on Gunn’s own rescue dog, Ozu, running across the arctic tundra to help Clark. , who seems completely exhausted after a bruise. meeting with… something. I wonder if this scene takes place after he fights that guy dressed in black on an American football field…
Anyway, Krypto doesn’t think twice about helping his alien companion when Clark/Supes asks Krypto to “take me home.” And considering we already know that Krypto will cross paths with Mister Terrific at some point in the DCU Chapter One movie, Superman won’t be the only hero Krypto will interact with. We may head to the theaters to see the legendary DC hero take flight on the big screen once again, but we (or, at least, I) will pay to see Krypto be a good, naughty boy.
As I mentioned before, Superman will hit theaters worldwide on July 11, 2025. It will also feature a full cast, featuring (take a deep breath) David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, 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 is ready to appear.
As for the story synopsis, here’s what a press release from Warner Bros. Pictures said: “In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action. , humor and heart. delivering a Superman driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humanity.”
