Superman trailer

The trailer for Superman dropped in December 2024 and it looks amazing. In the cli🎃p above you'll see our first look at Superman, showing all his sides as we see him with his family, with his love interest, and finally with his face all bloody from a massive fight.
The trailer didn't give any major plot details, but we do know 𝄹that Lex Luthor will be the main big bad in the film and that Superman will likely be coming to terms with his various identities. Exciting stuff!
In late January 2025, a new Superman teaser was release🥃d, with footage including Lex Luthor stepping out of a helicopter, and Superman flying over an icy landscape (you can see it below).

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Then, a full trailer was released, which features Lois Lane interviewing (b🐼orderline interrogating) Clark about his Superman activities, as well as plenty of city-shaking actio👍n. Check it out below.

Superman plot
Not much is known about the 🃏plot of Superman just yet, but we do have some basics to go o☂ff. The main thing we know is that the film will focus on a young Clark Kent as a reporter at The Daily Planet, and it will look at how he balances his Kryptonian and human heritage. It also won't be an origin story.
Beyond that, the film is a bit of a mystery, though, from the cast, which we dive into below, we can assume that Lex Luthor will be the movie's villain, or one of them at least, and that other key DC characters will be making appearances. In the trailers Lex is on full display, so it's looking more likely that he'll be Superman's primary foe this time round though. We got our first loo൩k at Supes and Luthor together in a behind-the-scenes look.
And according to Gunn, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the film's human story will be imp♕ortant. "My goal is to make a film like Godzilla Minus One, which depicted Godzilla but also had great human🦩 drama," he told .
"At its core is a human story," he continued. "The relationship b♔etweenไ Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and villain Lex Luthor is at the core of the work."
We also have an idea what comics have inspir𒀰ed the movie. "[Corenswet] mentioned how the vibes of the new movie are ba♓sed on For Al💝l Seasons and All-Star, but the story is 'totally its own thing,'" The Direct's Senior Editor David Thompson shared on .
All-Star Superman is one of the comics being read in a phoꦚto from the set shared by Gunn, which you can check out below.
On this day in 1938 the first superhero entered our atmosphere via the imaginations of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. He gave us someone to believe in, not because of his great physical power, but because of his character and determination to do right no matter what. Happy… p༒ic.twitter.com/fDlevaxcZj
Plus, Metamorpho actor Anthony Carrigan said that the movie has something in common with Gunn's other superhero outing, Guardians of the Galaxy. "I am hesitant to liken it to Guardians, but I do think that [Superman] has the same heart and intelligence. That’s James’ trademark," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he told The Hollywood Reporter. "But I think it’s༺ going to be its own thing entirely. The process of working on it was such a special one, and the whole cast was on board with bringing something really special to it. So, hopefully, that’s conveyed on screen."
Whatever happens in the movie, we can be confident that we're in for a treat. "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Warn🍌er Bros. Studios𝔍 head Mike De Luca has said on the SmartLess podcast, adding: "His heart's in the right plac𝄹e, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new ver🃏sion of DC."
Superman cast: who is playing Superman?
Superman has a fairly stacked cast. Here'𒀰s the line💖-up:
- David Corenswet – Superman
- Nicholas Hoult – Lex Luthor
- Rachel Brosnahan – Lois Lane
- Skyler Gisondo – Jimmy Olsen
- Isabela Merced – Hawkgirl
- Nathan Fillion – Guy Gardner
- Edi Gathegi – Mister Terrific
- Anthony Carrigan – Metamorpho
- Wendell Pierce - Perry White
- Pruitt Taylor Vince – Jonathan Kent
- Neva Howell – Martha Kent
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sean Gunn h👍as also been cast as Maxwell Lor꧂d in the DCU, though it's currently unclear if he'll be showing up in Superman – similarly, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Milly Alcock will play Supergirl, but it's not known for certain if she'll be ap💝pearing in this film.
Will Reeve, the youngest son of late actor Christopher Reeve, is set to have a special cameo as♛ a TV reporter in the movie, too. Might he have a run-in with Cla𒊎rk Kent from the Daily Planet? His father Christopher, of course, is forever linked with the DC character, having brought the Kryptonian to life in 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987.
James Gunn 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently shared a picture of the main cast together – including a bald Nicholas Hoult really getting into his role as Lex Luthor.
First look at Superman's suit
James Gunn celebrated Superman's birthday by revealing the tiniest of glimpses from Superman's suit. While we can't glean too much from the post (which you can see below), Superman's iconic 'S' chest logo still remains, though it appears to be made of fabric this time around. The 'S' also 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:partially resembles the logo used by the chaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚracter in Mark Waid and Alex Ross' seminal comic Kiཧngdom Come.
A photo posted by on
A 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new logo for the film was unveiled a💃t CinemaCon, too, which looks metallic, i♈s bright yellow and red, and features an 'S' tapering off at the base.
We also have an even better look at Corenswet in costume, thanks to an image Gunn sharဣed on Threads, which you can see below. The pic shows Clark looking pretty beat up and dirty, pulling on one of his red boots as all sorts of chaos goes down out the window behind him in the skies above Metropolis. Maybe ties those laces a bit quicker, eh, Supes? The chaos in question might very well be Solaris the Tyrant💜 Sun, a villain that made its first appearance in DC One Million #1 back in 1998, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Is Superman connected to any other DC films? And what happened to Henry Cavill?
Superman is the first film of the new DCU, which begins with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. This is totally different🐽 from the old DCEU, which began with Man of Steel, starring ﷺHenry Cavill, and ended with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
James Gunn 𓂃and Peter Safran's new universe is a reboot of the DC cinematic franchise, and it has no connection to the old set of films. It is, however, connected to the rest of the DCU – which began with the animated show Creature Commandos on M🍎ax.
As for Cavill, he played Superman in the old DCEU, and, 澳洲幸ꦡ运5开ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ奖号码历史查询:despite announcing his return to the role after his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Adam post-credits scene appearance, is no longer the Man of Steel.
