James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Teaser Poster & Trailer Released Date Announced

The first trailer for James Gunn’s Superman finally has an official release date, as well as an epic poster that teases the film’s soundtrack. Starring David Corenswet as the titular Man of Steel, the upcoming superhero reboot sees the Guardians of the Galaxy director trade his Marvel gear for an entirely new cinematic universe. Superman is set to be the official start of the DCU, flying into theaters on Jul. 11, 2025.

The first teaser poster (see below) for Superman was posted by Gunn along with a tease of the film’s musical score, which is already very different from his previous works. It features Corenswet flying straight up into the air, showing off his comic-accurate suit and iconic red tights. While the press get their first look at the film today, Gunn confirmed that the teaser trailer will be released online publicly this Thursday. It’s an exciting time to be a DC fan, and although Superman has an entire universe riding on it, the Man of Steel would not have it any other way.

In addition to Corenswet, Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the film’s main villain. Although it will be mostly focused on the Kryptonian superhero, the movie introduces a host of brand-new heroes and vilains from the rebooted DCU. The supporting cast of Superman includes María Gabriela De Faría (Engineer), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner/Green Lantern), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Jonathan Kent), Wendell Pierce (Perry White), Beck Bennett (Steve Lombard), and Sean Gunn (Maxwell Lord).

Written and directed by James Gunn, Superman is the first movie in Warner Bros.’ rebooted DC Universe to center around the titular comic book hero.
