Director James Gunn has once again ramped up excitement for the highly anticipated Superman film with a brand-new teaser that expands on the action-packed trailer released last month. Building on the foundation of the first look, the latest teaser gives fans fresh glimpses of Superman in action, as well as introducing an intriguing new take on the iconic villain, Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult. With the film set to reboot the DCU, Superman is shaping up to be a thrilling reinvention of the beloved superhero.
In this teaser, we get a closer look at the formidable Man of Steel (David Corenswet) doing what he does best—saving lives. The action sequences are as dynamic as ever, with Superman fighting a giant, fire-breathing lizard in a metropolitan city, while also shielding a young girl from a nearby explosion. The intensity of the battle is matched by Superman’s vulnerability, as we see him severely injured and calling on his loyal dog Krypto for help. Brief but striking shots of Superman in flight, performing impressive aerial maneuvers through jagged ice, show off the full scale of the hero’s abilities. There’s also a brief glimpse of the Fortress of Solitude, suggesting that the iconic home of Krypton’s last son will play a significant role in the film.
Nicholas Hoult’s new take on Lex Luthor is also featured in the teaser, with a shot of him stepping out of a luxurious vehicle, marking a stark contrast to Superman’s more humble origins. The character’s new look promises to offer a fresh dynamic to the Superman-Luthor rivalry, adding to the film’s intrigue. James Gunn’s signature style is evident in the teaser, combining both grandeur and personal stakes, as Superman struggles with the challenges of being a hero in a world that isn’t always so black-and-white.
In a recent interview, Gunn discussed how Superman explores the character's decency and the theme of hope, which has always been at the core of the superhero. “I believe in the goodness of human beings,” Gunn shared. “Most people, despite their ideological beliefs, are trying to be good people, even if it doesn’t seem like that sometimes.” He went on to explain that Superman would start with a more "battered" vision of the character, reflecting a fractured society, but ultimately showing how Superman becomes a symbol of optimism and strength for both America and the world. The teaser’s imagery—especially the shots of Superman saving people and navigating perilous situations—perfectly echoes this theme of heroism and hope.
As the film continues to build excitement, fans are also eager to see the other superheroes who will appear in this new iteration of the DCU, including Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi). Superman is slated for a worldwide release on July 11, 2025, and if this teaser is any indication, the film will be a visually spectacular, action-packed, and emotionally resonant addition to the DC universe.
