At long last, Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new 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 second 3-minute trailer, we start off with Lois and Clark hanging out together as Clark agrees to let Lois interview him as Superman, confirming that Lois already knows Superman's secret identity. "Are you being serious right now?" she asks incredulously. "You'd let me interview you as Superman?"
"Sure," agrees Clark, expecting the softball treatment due to their relationship.
Activating her audio recorder, Lois asks Clark if he's ready and he glibly replies, "Let's do it, Cronkite." Lois begins the interview, addressing Clark as "Superman" and he responds to her in his deep Superman voice as "Miss Lane."
"Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what some might--"
"I don't know if it's a lot of fire, but--" interrupts Superman as we see an image of a spaceship in the middle of downtown Metropolis.
"It's a lot," confirms Lois as we briefly cut to an image of someone angrily throwing a can at Superman's head, which he doesn't even blink at.
"Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was gonna look into your actions," continues Lois as we see Frank Grillo as a live-action version of his Creature Commandos character Rick Flag Sr.
Superman smirks in a dismissive tone at this, surprising Lois. "That--That's funny?" she asks,
"My actions?" responds Superman. "I stopped a war."
"Maybe."
"Uh, not maybe. I did."
Lois proceeds to grill him harder, stating, "In effect, you illegally entered a country" as we see a handcuffed Superman being taken into custody by Rick Flag Sr., a large masked figure who may or may not be Ultraman, and the Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría).
Later in the interview, we see Superman being upset at Lois' questions. "This is how you're gonna be?" he asks.
"I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman," replies Lois. "Did you consult with the President?"
Superman gives a long, audible sigh. "No."
"You seemingly acting like a representative of the United States..."
Superman interrupts again, raising his voice in a defensive tone, "I wasn't representing anybody except for me!"
"...will cause more problems around the world," continues Lois.
"And -- and -- and doing good," he adds as we see him protecting a small child from being killed.
Lois continues to press him, saying, "I would question myself in the same situation and consider the consequences." At this moment, we see Superman being struck by a mysterious armored character called the Hammer of Boravia that bears the familiar green and purple colors of Lex Luthor from the comics. Boravia is a fictionalized European country based around the Alps in the comics, having first appeared in Superman (vol.1) #2 back in 1939.
"People were going to die!" shouts Superman, now completely exasperated.
We see Superman crashing into a busy sidewalk, creating an impact crater. Someone reaches into to help Superman to his feet.
In a separate scene, a scorched Superman tells an off-camera enemy, "Hey, buddy! Eyes up here!" as he rockets upward into the sky.
As the John Williams-inspired theme begins to build, we see Luthor and the Engineer entering Superman's Fortress of Solitude, with the Engineer's hands shifting into spinning buzzsaw blades. Krypto the Superdog barks at them as they enter, with the Engineer carving up a few of Superman's robots until Krypto launches through the air and strikes her hard in the face.
We then hear the words of Clark's father, Jonathan Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince), as he says, "Your choices...your actions...That’s what makes you who you are." We see a young Clark running toward his father, followed by the present-day Clark hugging his father after hearing his reassuring words.
As we glimpse Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) using his T-spheres to take out mulitple armored soldiers, we then hear Lex Luthor remarking, "Super...man. He's not a man, he's an it...that's somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation. I will not...accept that."
Glimpses of Lois worrying as a wounded Superman lies in bed follow, along with Superman being beaten in prison after Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) changes his left hand to Kryptonite. We also see Superman fighting Ultraman and the Engineer in the middle of the Metropolis Meteors stadium.
As Lex Luthor rages, we cut to the Kent home in Smallville, with Martha Kent (Neva Howell) telling Clark, "I cleaned your boots. I'll go get 'em for you."
Superman fights a giant kaiju in Metropolis near a giant video screen showing a news reporter played by Will Reeve, son of previous Superman actor Christopher Reeve. The chyron on the broadcast states, “New regulations set to begin next week."
More glimpses include Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) using his Power Ring to create a giant hand to swat soldiers away on the lobby window, Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) smashing someone out of a window, Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio) taking a selfie as Superman fights the Hammer of Boravia in the background, Metamorpho using his powers, Superman flying through some kind of floating debris field towards a house that shoots at him with a laser, Superman and Lois kissing in mid-air, and Superman rocketing up into the sky once again as a crowd of people cheer, then coming straight down at the camera.
In the final scene, we see Lois asking Clark, "You have a dog?" followed by a separate scene of Krypto resting on the injured Superman's chest as a good dog should.
