by

Check upwards, as on July 11, 2025, theaters will screen Superman, ushering in a fresh era for DC on the silver screen as the inaugural film from the DCU. Anticipation and excitement swell around Superman, and the movie, penned and helmed by James Gunn, holds several intriguing secrets that viewers might be eager to uncover by watching the thrilling first trailer for Superman.

In a brief 2.5-minute clip, the latest version of Superman leaves viewers in awe with his stunning visuals, captivating chemistry, and dazzling powers. However, there are several intriguing details that fans may have overlooked during their initial or even repeated viewings. So, take a closer look at the insights below for potential easter eggs and hints about the plot.

6. The Consequences of Superman’s Actions

The Hammer of Boravia Seeks Revenge

The trailer for Superman appears to highlight a predicament facing Superman, stemming from the repercussions of his actions. In an attempt to halt a war between two nations, Superman’s decision has not been met with indifference by the U.S. administration or American journalists, as evidenced by Lois Lane’s probing questions during an interview with Superman. Lois presses for answers, and Superman comes to understand that acting righteously without considering the potential consequences is still a reality he must face.

It appears that Superman is about to discover some tough lessons, not just by Lois questioning him deeply, but also through an unidentified villain in a helmet who assaults Superman in Metropolis. From the newspaper Clark is holding in the trailer, it seems this villain could be known as the Hammer of Boravia. He may have received technology from Lex Luthor to seek revenge on Superman for meddling with his country’s matters.

5. LordTech’s Importance

LordTech is Everywhere, from Property to Technology, and Even Superheroes

In the DCU, LordTech is poised to make a significant impact. Established by Maxwell Lord, this company appears to have extensive influence. Notably, snippets from the Superman trailer showcase products from LordTech, such as an audio recorder, and buildings like the stadium where Superman battles the Engineer. However, it seems that Maxwell Lord’s influence extends beyond these visible aspects, as it appears the superheroes themselves are also under his control to some extent.

The trailer highlights the skills and valiance displayed by the LordTech team, comprising Mr. Terrific, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), and Hawkgirl. Although this group of superheroes has appeared in past promotional material, their role and connection to the LordTech label spark curiosity among fans. Could Superman represent a shift from the conventional corporate heroes that we’re used to?

4. Rick Flag’s Control of A.R.G.U.S.

Rick Flag is the Head of ARGUS Instead of Amanda Waller

The actions of Superman, particularly in conflict-ridden countries, have drawn attention from the U.S. government and its top organization, A.R.G.U.S., or the Advanced Research Group for Uniting Super-Powered Individuals. This agency has been embroiled in controversy since Amanda Waller was compelled to relinquish her leadership role, leaving Rick Flag in a position of authority. Although Flag hasn’t yet plotted revenge against Peacemaker for the death of his son, he appears to be taking an active interest in matters related to Superman (Kryptonian affairs).

Rick Flag is investigating Superman and his role in the global crisis, and a trailer suggests he’s teaming up with a villain who sports a ‘U’ emblem on his chest and the Engineer. This could mean Lex Luthor has some control over A.R.G.U.S., as he appears to be providing super soldiers to Rick Flag. This isn’t the first time Flag has been manipulated, as something similar occurred in “Creature Commandos” with Princess Ilana Rostovic in Pokolistan.

3. Metamorpho Produces Kryptonite

A Meta-Human Who Can Create Any Element From His Body

In the latest Superman trailer, it appears that Metamorpho may have unveiled a crucial part he plays. His unique skill as a meta-human, demonstrated in the clip, is the ability to transform his body into various elements. What’s intriguing is that Metamorpho seems capable of creating elements beyond our world, such as when his hand was composed entirely of kryptonite, trapping Superman and preventing him from escaping their shared cell.

Metamorpho’s obedient actions, which lead to the creation of kryptonite, might stem from a background of coercion, as Lex Luthor has manipulated him into this position. Given that Luthor has openly expressed his animosity towards Superman by referring to him as an “it,” it wouldn’t be unanticipated if Metamorpho serves as Luthor’s unwilling kryptonite-generating meta-human pawn.

2. Lex Luthor’s Pocket Universe

Luthor’s Prison for Experiments, Meta-Humans, and Exes?

Previously, James Gunn hinted that ‘Superman’ might involve pocket universes, and the trailer appears to support this idea. It’s plausible that Superman and Metamorpho, found together in a cell, reside within one of these pocket universes. This could be a hidden area where Lex Luthor stores his unwanted debris and concealed secrets. Given that he is a villain, it wouldn’t be surprising if Lex had engineered such a pocket universe to confine his prisoners and meta-humans, keeping them out of the reach of the U.S. government.

In the trailer, Lois Lane and Mr. Terrific pass through a portal that looks like it leads to Lex Luthor’s pocket universe. The landscape around them is filled with towering stacks of cells, one of which contains a girl in a dress who doesn’t seem to be any ordinary metahuman. This massive place could be so large because it resides beyond the boundaries of space and time.

1. Luthor’s Siege on the Fortress of Solitude

The Engineer Destroys Superman’s Robots

In a chilling escalation of his animosity towards Superman, Lex Luthor successfully invades the seemingly impregnable Fortress of Solitude. The latest sneak peek reveals that Lex is not only within the Fortress but is engaging in a more personal and violent confrontation. This time around, we see the Engineer battling against Superman’s robots and even exchanging blows with Krypto, Superman’s loyal canine companion.

The teaser highlights an undisclosed antagonist clashing with Superman’s mechanical counterparts and mercilessly annihilating them. This raises two queries: What is Lex Luthor’s intention regarding the Fortress of Solitude, and how did he manage to gain entry there? In the trailer, Luthor expresses his reluctance to acknowledge Superman as the center of global discourse, leading one to wonder if perhaps Luthor seeks damaging evidence about Superman within the Fortress of Solitude that could sway public opinion against him.
