Faster than a speeding bullet, the first trailer for Superman will be here on Thursday. The news was released in a new piece of key art Monday morning of Clark Kent taking to the skies.
Set for release July 11, 2025, Superman is the official kick-off of the new DC Universe, run by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Gunn, who also made Marvel’s three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, wrote and directed Superman. It stars David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and many more. Check out the new poster below (set to an ethereal rendition of John Williams’ classic Superman theme), below:

Anytime a Superman movie hits theaters, it’s a big deal. After all, Superman was the first superhero and remains arguably the most famous. We’ve seen him portrayed in all different mediums, of course, but his forays on the big screen are always the most significant. And, since this version most also set the tone—and story—for DC’s shot at a shared universe in the mold of Marvel, the expectations couldn’t be higher.
Check io9 later this week for the first Superman trailer, and we may have some other surprises as well.
