“Krypto really did take us home: With over 250 million views and a million social media posts, Superman is now the most viewed and discussed trailer in DC and Warner Bros. history,” he shared. “This is all thanks to you: we’re so grateful and can’t wait to share the film with you in July. Happy Holidays!”
The trailer provided a first look at David Corenswet as the new Superman, along with a preview of the film’s ensemble cast, featuring Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and other key characters like Krypto the Superdog, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern Guy Gardner.
The trailer’s success has outpaced other major releases this year, such as Joker: Folie à Deux (167 million views) and Inside Out 2 (157 million views), though it still falls short of Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, which holds the all-time record with 365 million views.
Gunn’s vision for Superman delves into the full depth of the superhero’s mythology, focusing on his relationships with allies and rivals. The film will also explore Superman’s more grounded elements, a direction that Gunn hopes will resonate with longtime fans. Superman is set to release on July 11, 2025, by Warner Bros.
