Superman Movie Teaser Trailer Release Date Confirmed, Plus David Corenswet In A New Motion Poster

by

As a lifelong DC fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! The upcoming era of DC movies, spearheaded by James Gunn’s DC Studios, is shaping up to be nothing short of legendary. The release date for the first Superman teaser trailer on December 19 is just around the corner, and I’m already on the edge of my seat!

We are moving closer and closer to the next era of DC movies.

James Gunn’s DC Studios has formally revealed that the debut of the first Superman teaser trailer will occur on Thursday, December 19, at 6am PST. This announcement was made by sharing a sneak peek of the teaser itself, accompanied by an animated poster depicting Superman appearing to dash through the heavens.

The Stakes Are High For Superman

The movie titled Superman, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, marks the beginning of a series of trailers to come in the following seven months. This film holds significance because it is James Gunn’s inaugural feature as the head of DC Studios.

David Corenswet has been assigned a dual role as both Clark Kent and Superman, a relatively fresh face in the industry compared to others. Rachel Brosnahan, who gained popularity from her Emmy-winning performance as Mrs. Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, may have more name recognition, but the role of Superman will be the most significant in her cinematic career. Nicholas Hoult, with a more established reputation among the main trio, will take on the part of Lex Luthor.

Gunn ensures everything is meticulously planned by both penning and overseeing the production. This film, perhaps the pivotal point of his career, promises to shape the world he now controls. It’s impressive to rework a group of lesser-known superheroes like in Guardians of the Galaxy, but it’s on another level to depict legendary figures such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern.

Learning From Zack Snyder’s Mistakes

After facing criticism for his controversial decision in the 2013 film Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder came to realize the weighty responsibility that comes with such creative choices. In a pivotal battle scene, Snyder’s portrayal of Superman, played by Henry Cavill, ended up killing the villain General Zod (Michael Shannon) by breaking his neck. This act of Superman taking a life sparked intense discussions and numerous angry social media posts, suggesting that Snyder may have misunderstood the essence of the character.

Based on preliminary marketing content, it appears that director Gunn is adopting a more traditional style for the character, sparking enthusiasm among fans who are looking forward to a less melancholic and more optimistic portrayal of Superman.

Chapter One: Gods and Monster

Instead of using “phases,” as Marvel does for its cinematic universe, Gunn refers to his DC Universe in terms of “chapters.” The initial chapter is titled “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
