The wait is lastly over: Our first take a look at James Gunn’s Superman, the primary live-action entry of the rebooted DCU, has arrived.
Whereas the animated collection Creature Commandos (presently airing on Max) technically marked the start of this new relaunch of DC motion pictures and TV exhibits, everybody was desperate to see what Gunn and his collaborators had cooked up for the triumphant return of Superman to the massive display, which is accompanied by guarantees of a universe that is extra colourful and relaxed. It is also been stated it will not deal with its tasks like required homework. Will they pull it off? We’ll discover out quickly sufficient.
In any case, the first-ever trailer arrived immediately, December 19, to a lot anticipation which can or could not translate into sturdy field workplace earnings come subsequent summer season. If something, Gunn has been personally selling to hell out of each undertaking DC Studios has put out to date, and that features The Penguin, HBO’s hit present that bridges the hole between 2022’s The Batman and The Batman Half II, which remains to be having its script found out by Matt Reeves. Whether or not they’re a part of the principle DCU continuity or Elseworld tales, all DC movie and TV productions will now undergo Warner Bros. Discovery’s reply to Disney and Marvel’s much more organized (up up to now) efforts.
Earlier than we gush concerning the trailer’s best moments, watch it for your self under:
Krypto! Lex Luthor! Tons of aspect heroes like Hawkgirl and Man Gardner! It is a actually packed ‘teaser’ trailer, and on the middle of all of it, you possibly can infer an enormous beating coronary heart, which appears to be Gunn’s principal power in terms of comedian e-book variations. With roughly seven months of post-production nonetheless forward, that is already wanting nice and sorta refreshing even it is yet one more Superman reboot.
No plot particulars revealed although, and that is for the very best. Bear in mind when trailers did not reveal virtually the complete film and ran on vibes and killer pictures for probably the most half? Effectively, a minimum of this primary take a look at the film is doing precisely that, and its riff on John Williams’ authentic rating appears like dishonest, however hey, I am feeling feels due to a brand new superhero film. It has been some time. Examine again in a couple of months to see if the second trailer maintains the hopeful vitality up.
On high the trailer, the film’s first poster is fairly rattling cool too. I am personally loving the colourful colours and hope the remainder of the advertising and marketing supplies maintain them.
The film stars David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with an all-star supporting solid that features Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Frank Grillo, Skyler Gisondo, Wendell Pierce, Edi Gathegi, Sean Gunn, Anthony Carrigan, Alan Tudyk, and extra.
Superman releases in theaters on July 11, 2025.
