The first official trailer for James Gunn’s Superman movie has been revealed, and I’m utterly obsessed with the DCU’s take on Krypto the Superdog

• The first official trailer for 2025’s Superman movie has been released publicly
• It arrives 24 hours a 30-second teaser was released by DC Studios
• Superman will take flight in cinemas worldwide on July 11, 2025

The first trailer for 2025’s Superman movie is finally here – and, if I wasn’t excited for the DC Cinematic Universe’s (DCU) first film by now, I certainly am now.

Unveiled today (December 20), the two-minute-plus trailer, which arrived 24 hours after DC Studios released a teaser for the actual Superman movie trailer, is all that many of us Superman fanatics wanted for Christmas this year. If this first proper look at the superhero film is anything to go by, it’s going to be one of the biggest new movies to launch in theaters in 2025, too.

There’s a lot to unpack from the trailer for James Gunn’s Superman movie. We get first looks at the Man of Steel’s fellow heroes in action, including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific. There are multiple, ominous shots of Nicholas Hoult’s imposing version of Lex Luthor, aka one of Superman’s most notorious foes. There are a fair few clips of Clark Kent/Supes and perennial love interest Lois Lane getting physically intimate. Oh, and there’s also a kaiju of sort that the eponymous Kryptonian squares off against at some point in the film.

The true star of the show, though, is Superman’s fluffy best friend in Krypto the Superdog. Appearing in one of the trailer’s longer clips between the 1:06 and 1:22 mark, we see the canine Kryptonian racing through the arctic tundra to aid the Man of Tomorrow, who looks utterly exhausted after a bruising encounter with… something.
