The first official trailer for James Gunn’s Superman movie has been revealed and I’m completely obsessed with the DCU’s take on Krypto the Superdog
- The first official trailer for 2025 Superman film has been made public
- Coming 24 hours later, a 30-second teaser has been released by DC Studios
- Superman will hit theaters worldwide on July 11, 2025
The first trailer for 2025 Superman The movie is finally here – and if I wasn’t excited about the first movie of the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU), I certainly am now.
Today (December 20) the two-minute trailer was revealed, arriving 24 hours after DC Studios released a teaser for the actual Superman movie trailer, is everything many of us Superman fanatics wanted for Christmas this year. If this first real look at the superhero movie is anything to go by, it will also be one of the biggest new films to hit theaters in 2025.
There’s a lot to unpack from James Gunn’s trailer Superman film. We see the Man of Steel’s fellow heroes in action for the first time, including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific. Then there are the multiple, ominous shots of Nicholas Hoult’s imposing version of Lex Luthor, also one of the legendary DC hero’s most notorious enemies. There are also quite a few clips of Clark Kent/Supes and perennial love interest Lois Lane becoming physically intimate. Oh, and there’s also a Kaiju of sorts that the eponymous Kryptonian will face off against, as well as two other enigmatic foes – one of whom was teased when the first image of the 2025 Superman movie was revealed earlier this year.
The real star of the show, however, is Superman’s fluffy best friend in Krypto the Superdog. In one of the trailer’s longer clips between 1:06 and 1:22, we see the dog Kryptonian racing across the Arctic tundra to help Clark, who looks utterly exhausted after a painful encounter with… something. I wonder if this scene takes place after he fights that person dressed in black on an American football field…
Anyway, Krypto doesn’t think twice about helping his fellow alien when Clark/Supes asks Krypto to “take me home.” And since we already know that Krypto will cross paths with Mister Terrific at some point in the DCU Chapter One movie, Superman won’t be the only hero Krypto interacts with. We may go to the cinema to see the legendary DC hero soar on the big screen again, but we (or at least I) will pay to see Krypto not only be a good and naughty boy, but also the star of the show.
Superman will be released in cinemas worldwide on July 11, 2025.
