We’re just two months away from Superman hitting theaters—and James Gunn’s latest isn’t just an anticipated blockbuster from the guy who made Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s the big-screen debut of DC Studios’ new era under Gunn and Peter Safran. We finally have a full trailer that gives us our best look yet at this latest Man of Steel, as well as his allies (we already knew there’s an adorable dog in this, of course) and villainous foes.
Gunn teased the trailer on social media as the “full trailer” he’d been “waiting too long to share.” And indeed, we see Superman facing off with an array of baddies, including a giant scaly monster and several supervillains—including, most intriguingly, a smirking Lex Luthor. He also stops a war and gets in trouble for it with the U.S. government, and gets grilled about it by the toughest journalist he knows: Lois Lane, who definitely knows Clark is Superman this time around.
David Corenswet stars as Clark Kent/Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.
The rest of the cast includes Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., and frankly that’s just scratching the surface of who’s in this movie. Milly Alcock, set to star as Kara Zor-El in SC’s June 2026 release Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, will also pop up at some point, though she doesn’t appear in the trailer.
Superman hits theaters July 11.
