While DC Universe fans are eagerly waiting for more glimpses of the Superman film, the DC Universe reboot gets brilliantly explored through a new concept trailer. The DC Universe's Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters" slate is getting ready to begin as the Creature Commandos series is only weeks away from premiering on Max, while the Superman movie will be the first theatrical outing for the new franchise. As 2024 gets closer to its end, fans are waiting patiently for the first Superman footage to get released to the world, showcasing more of James Gunn's upcoming reboot.
Screen Culture recently shared a new Superman concept trailer, using known elements of the upcoming 2025 installment, like featuring Corenswet as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. While there is no confirmation if he will appear in the film, this version of the Superman story sets up the idea of Brainiac also serving a crucial role in the movie. Check it out below.
The Superman movie concept trailer uses various material from other movies and TV shows based on Krypton's last son, from Henry Cavill's Man of Steel, The CW's Superman & Lois, and Supergirl, to Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. Superman, which finished filming a few months ago, is currently in post-production and on track for its July 2025 release date.
What The Superman Concept Trailer Means For The DC Universe Movie
Given how much is being kept under wraps about Gunn's Superman movie, it is no surprise that fans are still sharing their theories and ideas for what may or may not be in store for this film. Whether through fan art or concept trailers, this shows that there is a lot of excitement for Superman, and also genuine hype about seeing the last son of Krypton back on the big screen in his own movie. The DC Universe film will set the foundation for future movies and TV shows to come out of DC Studios, which is why there is a lot riding on Gunn's Superman, to say the least.
However, there is a chance that DC Universe fans won't have to wait for too much longer to get some footage, following the recent Superman movie trailer update from Gunn, which suggests that he has finished a cut for a teaser. It's just a matter of when DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery decide to finally debut it to the DC Universe. The prospect of some mysteries being solved soon makes it even more fun to see fans showing their passion for Superman while still trying to piece all the clues together that are out there about the 2025 film.
Our Take On The Superman Concept Trailer
Time will tell when Gunn's first Superman movie trailer gets released to the world, whether it is towards the end of this year or something DC Studios is potentially saving for early 2025. Whatever will be presented in that trailer will be instrumental in Superman's marketing campaign, especially as it will be the first superhero movie for Warner Bros. Discovery that they are promoting since 2023's remaining DCEU installments. Hopefully, more information about when the Superman trailer is dropping will arrive sooner rather than later.
Written and directed by James Gunn, Superman is the first movie in Warner Bros.' rebooted DC Universe to center around the titular comic book hero. It introduces a new version of the Man of Steel after Henry Cavill's departure from the role, honoring the character's roots as "the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way."
