First trailer for James Gunn’s new Superman movie released | Film

The first trailer for James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman movie has been released.

Starring David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the film is being heralded as a significant reset for the DC movie universe (DCU), of which Gunn became joint CEO in 2022.

Opening with a sequence featuring Krypto, the Man of Steel’s hallowed superdog, the trailer gives little away in terms of plot – other than that Lex Luthor (played by a shaved-head Nicholas Hoult) is heavily involved, as well as a fire breathing dragon. Superman also appears to incur the wrath of the civilian population, with one disgruntled citizen beaning him on the back of the head with a disposable cup.

Having outlined his ambitious plans for the newly minted DCU in 2023, Gunn’s film – originally entitled Superman: Legacy – is to be the first instalment of a series entitled Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, which is also due to include movies centring on Supergirl, Clayface and Swamp Thing.

Superman is due for release on 10 July in Australia, and on 11 July in the US and UK.
