Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for Superman, the upcoming 2025 DC Universe film directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
In this first 2-minute, 15-second trailer, we initially see Corenswet's Superman crashing into an Arctic wasteland, bloodied and wheezing for air. We shift to fleeting images of a curly mop-topped Clark Kent making his way through a crowded Metropolis sidewalk to enter the Daily Planet building.
As a slow, electric guitar version of John Williams' classic theme from Superman (1978) begins to play, Clark enters the Daily Planet newsroom, where we first see Brosnahan's Lois Lane. She glances over at Clark, who looks predictably befuddled around the room.
Next, we head to the Kent farm, where Clark hugs his father, Jonathan Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince).
Back to the Arctic, Superman whistles for his dog, Krypto the Superdog, who plows quickly through the snow to his master. "Krypto...home," wheezes Superman, handing Krypto the end of his cape. "Take me home."
The music switches to a powerful, orchestral version as we see Superman protecting a small girl from an explosion. At LuthorCorp, we glimpse Hoult's Lex Luthor turn away angrily from the window as Superman flies past, followed by another scene of Luthor with a gun.
Next, we see a caged Superman punch his way out of a cell, followed by a young boy rallying his people in Boravia with a makeshift yellow flag bearing Superman's chest emblem. The Boravian boy closes his eyes and prays for Superman for help.
In an abrupt tonal shift, we see a dour Superman with his chest covered in soot enter the Stagg Industries building past an angry mob as one of the crowd throws a can at the back of his head. As Superman looks up some information at a kiosk in the lobby, Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) uses his Power Ring on the lobby window, followed by a shot of Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) in flight.
More fleeting images follow, including Superman facing off against a fire-breathing Kaiju monster, Superman sharing a tender moment at night with Lois Lane, Lois and Clark kissing in a kitchen, Superman tending to his robot Kelex at the Fortress of Solitude, the Fortress growing from the Arctic ice, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, a domino effect of skyscrapers falling over, a battered Lex Luthor scowling, Krypto dragging Superman by his cape through the snow, Superman fighting someone in the middle of the Metropolis Meteors stadium, Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) protecting Lois with a force field from mulitple armored soldiers, Superman and Lois sharing a beautiful mid-air kiss, and Superman rocking up into the sky.
As the trailer music builds to a finale, the last thing we see is Lois holding Superman's hand, then pulling him into a reassuring hug.
