The wait for the previously announced Superman trailer is finally over. This week, fans will be able to catch a first glimpse of their new superhero.

With Creature Commandos, the first series of the new DC universe has already started and the signs for a successful era are good. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show impresses critics with a score of 94 percent.

Nevertheless, fans have been eagerly awaiting the trailer for the first big blockbuster for months. Now the time has finally come: Superman will be seen in action again in a first teaser on December 19, 2024.

First (real) look at Clark Kent

Director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad) recently dropped the bombshell on platform X and announced the return of the Man of Steel with a short video.

On December 19, 2024 at 3 p.m., the trailer will officially be released.

Shortly before, the official had already shared the first poster for the new film. It shows the Kryptonian (David Corenswet) in the usual superhero pose. You can see a snippet in the cover image above.

The final theatrical release is planned for July 10, 2025.

How are fans reacting to the trailer announcement?

The initial fan reactions are pretty mixed. While some are excited, others are mourning the past (and Henry Cavill). Here are a few examples:

  • “Yes, I’ll watch it, but I’m not holding out much hope. Henry [Cavill] is the only one and Zack [Snyder] had the perfect vision.” – User TannyTanTan_T

  • “This movie will make me cry just because Superman has such an important place in my heart. I loved the movies before, but this one just feels different. My favorite superhero movies are all yours, so I really hope this movie is fantastic.” – User Betrigansmh

  • “I’m pretty excited about this movie. It’s great to have a movie to look forward to again.” – User _PiggyPie

Why is the new Superman so important?

Creature Commandos marks a good start for the new universe. However, the series is not available in all countries and cannot currently be viewed on any streaming provider in this country.

However, the first huge superhero blockbuster under the direction of James Gunn is crucial for the great success of the new DC era. In the past, things have not gone particularly well for the DC universe. Recently, films such as Black Adam, The Flash and Blue Bettle flopped at the box office (via Box Office Mojo).

Many familiar characters from the Superman universe are also returning, such as Clark’s great love Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and his eternal nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).

Kal-El also gets a fluffy four-legged friend by his side who, like him, has special abilities. You can find out more about this in the box above.
