First footage of new movie “Superman” released – First movie of the new DC Universe, directed by James Gunn | THE RIVER

The first trailer for the new DC Universe movie “Superman'' has been released for the first time. After leading Marvel's “Guardians of the Galaxy” series to success, the director and screenwriter suddenly transferred to DC, working on “The Suicide Squad: Super Villains Assemble” (2021) and becoming the representative of DC Studios. James Gunn.

A scene from Superman's life on Earth as Clark Kent is cut in as Superman falls into an icy and snowy area with injuries all over his body. Wearing boring glasses, she spends her days working at the newspaper company, the Daily Planet, and her bond with Jonathan, her parents who raised her in Kansas. Superman, lying in the snow, whistles, and something comes running towards him at great speed. Its true identity is his beloved dog, Krypto.

Superman saves people in Metropolis, the genius inventor Lex Luthor glares at Superman from his company building Luthor Corp, and then there's Superman smashing the glass cage he's trapped in, and the “S” symbol for hope. Videos of children holding up flags and praying for the arrival of a hero continue one after another.

Shockingly, this time Superman seems to be hated by the townspeople. Despite being yelled at and having trash thrown at him… Superman still looks determined. And just when you think Guy Gardner/Green Lantern and Hawkgirl show up, a giant monster also appears…?

David Corenswet was chosen to play the new Superman/Clark Kent. Rachel Brosnahan will play Lois Lane, known as Superman's lover, and Nicholas Hoult will play Lex Luthor, Superman's archenemy. Guy Gardner will be played by Nathan Fillion, a regular in James Gunn's works, and Hawkgirl will be played by Isabella Merced, who also played an active role in “Alien: Romulus''.

“This project is more important to me than just a new movie,” Gunn wrote in a message ahead of the trailer's release. “This movie is a human story, a story about being a hero in a world where it's hard to be a hero. It's about the heart and the action, David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and the entire cast. I can't wait to show you his amazing performance.”

The first movie in the new DC Universe, Superman, is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 11, 2025.
