James Gunn's SUPERMAN Trailer Will Reportedly Drop Next Week

by · GeekTyrant

We’ve known that the first trailer for James Gunn’s Supermanwould be dropping in December. I’ve personally heard from a couple people that the trailer might drop right before Christmas on the 23rd, but now it’s being reported that the trailer could debut next week.

This latest news comes from Puck's Matthew Belloni and if it’s true, it could be playing in theaters before Mufasa: The Lion King and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 next weekend.

It' being reported that the trailer will be more of a tease for the look and tone of the Superman movie rather than a traditional sneak peek. 

Belloni teases in his report: "Also, the star of the big 'Superman' trailer debuting next week is apparently... a dog?" So, the focus of the trailer might just be on Krypto rather than the Man of Steel.

We’ll just have to wait and see! But it seems like something unique and outside of the box that Gunn would do for a trailer.

Gunn previously talked about Krypto saying: "Krypto arrives on screens in 'Superman' this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing 'Superman.'

“Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop."

"It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, 'Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?' - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life.

“What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than 'Adopt A Shelte Dog' Month. Btw, Ozu today, is, fairly often, a very good boy."

Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.

“He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”

"It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU."

Superman stars David Corenswetas Superman, Rachel Brosnahan bring to Superman and Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio, as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.

Superman will launch the movie part of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
