‘Superman’ — Super-teaser promises bright new look

Look up! It’s Superman in all his red and blue glory. The first official teaser trailer for DC Studios’ “Superman,” set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025, was released today.

In true Superman fashion, as one franchise for the Man of Steel concludes, another begins. As fans bid farewell to the CW’s hit series “Superman & Lois,” a new potential favorite takes flight over the skies of Metropolis. James Gunn’s “Superman” teaser trailer premiered with a hopeful aura that draws inspiration from the Richard Donner films of the 1970s.

The teaser trailer received a hype-filled treatment from DC Comics’s marketing team throughout this week as teasers for the teaser trailer were teased tumultuously… maybe even tirelessly. Mixed reactions were soon found across social platforms as fans of Zack Snyder’s previous universe expressed disappointment in this upcoming reboot while hopeful-love-all-Superman-media-Metropolitans expressed their excitement for a new take that feels like it fell right out of the comics.

Personally, I’m just excited to see a well-rounded Daily Planet ensemble that includes more than Perry White and Jimmy Olsen! For the first time in history, we’ll see Cat Grant, Ron Troupe, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Perry White, Steve Lombard, and Jimmy Olsen all inhabiting the same shared space in live-action form! It’s a dream come true for this Daily Planet fan.

The trailer teased the potential storyline for “Superman,” as the Man of Tomorrow faces an unknown threat today. We’re dropped right into the familiar world of Metropolis. There’s no secret origin here; we’ve seen that so many times. Like Matt Reeves’ 2022 flick “The Batman,” we find our characters well established with each other.

“Superman,” DC Studios first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this Summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. 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 who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.

“Superman” stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as the esteemed Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as photographer Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Nicholas Hoult as the iconic antagonist Lex Luthor, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan “Pa” Kent.

The cast also includes Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.

“Superman” is slated to arrive in theaters on July 11, 2025, exactly one year from today.
