Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled a new trailer and poster for Superman, the highly anticipated film reboot written and directed by DC Studios co-head James Gunn. Scheduled for release on July 11, the film marks the first feature in Gunn’s reimagined DC Universe and the first solo Superman film in over a decade.
David Corenswet takes on the dual role of Clark Kent/Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan starring opposite him as intrepid journalist Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult appears as Lex Luthor, Superman’s iconic adversary, described in the film as a brilliant but dangerous megalomaniac. Rounding out the ensemble cast are Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.
The new trailer showcases a Superman who embodies compassion and moral clarity, stopping a war single-handedly before facing arrest—highlighting the internal and external conflicts that define the character. Gunn's signature mix of action, humour, and emotional depth is front and center, offering audiences a fresh take on the legendary hero while staying grounded in the character’s core values.
Rachel Brosnahan, speaking to Variety at the 2024 SAG Awards, expressed enthusiasm for playing Lois Lane. “She’s smart, ambitious and can be funny,” said Brosnahan. “She knows she’s the smartest person in the room more often than not.”
Superman is produced by Gunn and Peter Safran and based on DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film also features Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell in supporting roles.
Behind the scenes, Gunn collaborates with key creatives including cinematographer Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky, and composer John Murphy. Editing is handled by Craig Alpert, Jason Ballantine, and William Hoy.
The trailer follows the record-setting first look released in December 2023, which drew over 250 million views online—making it the most-watched DC trailer to date.
