He's here! After a lot of anticipation, the world just got their first good look at David Corenswet in action as the new Man of Tomorrow, AKA Superman. The first full trailer for the new 2025 Superman has arrived, and it's incredible.
Starting off with Supe lying in the snow after some kind of battle, we get an electric guitar version of the famous John Williams theme. But why is Superman whistling? Turns out he's whistling to bring his dog Krypto. And then he says, "Krypto, take me home." Yes, we knew Superman's pup was in this movie, but it's outrageously cool to see the dog in the trailer, and to know he's going to be a huge part of this movie.
From their the trailer goes nuts. We see Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) suspicious of goofy Clark Kent at the Daily Planet. We see Superman saving people. We see people who are furious with Superman. We see the Guy Gardner version of Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion) doing some cool stuff with his lantern powers. We see Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) pulling out a gun looking like a maniac.
And everywhere, there is COLOR. This isn't going to be a muted, grimdark grey movie. Superman and his world is bright, and fully of action, conflict, and hope. This is a Superman movie that feels like older Superman movies, but also, brand new. We've never seen Superman quite like this before, and it looks he's going to be joined by a ton of other superheroes, too.
For those worried that James Gunn's work with Marvel wouldn't quite translate to DC, the Superman trailer will, for now, silence all those worries. This trailer is full of the heartfelt, beautiful charm that makes the character so beloved. If you have any kind of heart inside of you, at some point, you were moved to tears remembering what it was like to play Superman as a child. If this trailer is any indication, this could be the best Superman movie...ever? Here's hoping
