The promotional campaign for the upcoming film Superman by James Gunn intensifies with the release of a new teaser, a prelude to the official trailer.
The Superman by James Gunn better have strong backs given the heavy stakes weighing on his shoulders. It constitutes the first centerpiece of the DC Universe (the new DCEU) under the direction of Peter Safran and James Gunn, the first chapter of which was called “Gods and Monsters”. A first taste of this DCU was delivered very recently with the very fun animated series Creature Commandos.
But even more, Superman will have the difficult task of forgetting the failures of previous cinematic iterations of the DC universe. The communication campaign around the film is about to be officially launched this Thursday, December 19, 2024, with the release of the first trailer. After an initial poster and teaser that recalled the films of Donner and Snyder, a new teaser has just been revealed, just to whet fans’ expectations even further.
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman !
The teaser opens with a shot of the Daily Planet, the newspaper that Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane work for. Then shots of people who seem both fascinated and frightened follow one another, interspersed with quick sequences where we see Superman flying. The short teaser ends with the slogan « Look Up » (“Lift your eyes”).
The film should not be an origin story, James Gunn having declared on social networks that in Supermanthe world already knows the existence of the Kryptonian, that Lois and Clark know each other well and that Lex Luthor is already identified as the bad guy of service. A situation which will allow the director to better focus on the balance that Kent/Superman tries to find between his heroic duty and his desire to be a human like any other.
In the casting of this founding stone of the new DCU, we will find David Corenswet in the title role, Rachel Brosnahan in the skin of Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion in the role of Green Lantern, Isabela Merced in that of Hawkgirl and Milly Alcock as Supergirl . Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor.
All that remains is to wait a few hours before finally having the first official trailer for Superman starting this December 19 at 3 p.m. The film will be released in French cinemas on July 9, 2025.
