There’s one North Pole resident who can fly around the world
in a night dominating social media right now, and it ain’t Santa Claus.
DC Studios has given us our best look yet at James Gunn’s
optimistic take on The Man of Steel with a new Superman teaser trailer
that sent anticipation for the 2025 film up, up and away when it dropped on
Thursday. With bright colors, big-time action and a fantastic cast – including David
Corenswet as the titular Kansas farmboy-turned-demigod, Rachel Brosnahan as intrepid
Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as calculating “bald-is-beautiful”
poster boy Lex Luthor – Superman looks like a lot of fun. Plus, we get a
glimpse of the live-action debut for one of comic books’ goodest boys, Krypto
the Superdog, who proves to be just as heroic as his nigh invincible owner.
If you know me, you know I have owned a LOT of action
figures in my life, but one of my first was Kenner’s “Super Powers” Superman,
who met an unfortunate fate when I accidently jammed him between the cushions
of my mom’s Toyota Tercel – there was obviously some Kryptonite stashed in the
glove compartment. Superman II was also one of the first movies I
watched on repeat as a three-year-old, alongside Ghostbusters and The
Empire Strikes Back. So yeah, me and Supes go way back.
I didn’t gel with Zack Snyder’s take on Superman in The
Man of Steel or its sequels, and Bryan Singer’s 2006 Superman Returns
hasn’t aged particularly well, so I’m excited for a film that seems tonally
similar to the classic Christopher Reeve film while creating something entirely
new. I’ll be looking up when Superman flies into theaters July 11, 2025.
Watch the teaser below!
