It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No….it’s a new Superman trailer. Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Studios have given us our best look yet at writer-director James Gunn’s upcoming film about the most iconic superhero ever. And the first film in the DCU is full of both hope and darkness, which is just how we like our Superman movies.
But, most importantly, it’s also full of the world’s most adorable super-powered canine. You can check out the full Superman trailer below.
David Corenswet’s Man of Steel is one step closer to making his big screen debut. His Clark Kent will kick off the film side of the DCU’s first phase, “Gods and Monsters.” This latest trailer for the Superman movie certainly has plenty of both. It also reveals that Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane knows the truth about her co-worker. He’s not quite the hero everyone in the world wants or trusts. The United States government doesn’t want Superman acting on his own. Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor doesn’t want him gaining the love of the world’s citizens, even when he’s literally stopping wars and saving lives.
The tone of this Superman trailer and the plot details line up with how the studio describes the film. It says the movie delivers “a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.” The fact that not everyone believes in those same ideals will make for some powerful conflict and themes.
In addition to the synopsis and trailer, we also know Superman‘s cast. The movie will star María Gabriela de Faría as the film’s villain, Engineer. Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) and Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern Guy Gardner) will also reprise their upcoming Peacemaker roles in the film. Anthony Carrigan plays Metamorpho. Sara Sampaio joins the cast as Eve Teschmacher. Skyler Gisondo will fulfill his destiny as Jimmy Olsen. Wendell Pierce will join him at The Daily Planet as his boss Perry White. And Beck Bennett will play the paper’s sports journalist Steve Lombard.
And, of course, the film will also feature a star who shines so bright we’re already in love with him, Superman’s dog Krypto. We see him in his full glory in the Superman trailer.
Krypto will fly into theaters with his iconic owner, whether some want him to or not, when Superman releases this summer on July 11, 2025.
