The wait for James Gunn‘s “Superman” is nearly over, and the DC Studios tentpole got another trailer today.
The first trailer for “Superman” released online in December and shot to more than 250 million views, the most ever for DC Comics and Warner Bros.
Previously titled “Superman: Legacy,” “Superman” is written and directed by DC Studios co-head Gunn. David Corenswet stars in the titular role opposite Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult plays the film’s villain, megalomaniac super-genius Lex Luthor. Other members of the cast include Skyler Gisondo as journalist Jimmy Olsen, Anthony Carrigan as the Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.
When speaking to Variety at the 2024 SAG Awards, Brosnahan spoke about how excited she was to play the Lane, saying she was already familiar with the character before landing the role.
“I have always loved Lois Lane,” Brosnahan said. “She’s smart, ambitious and can be funny. She knows she’s the smartest person in the room more often than not. When the opportunity came on… I’m such a fan of James Gunn from afar.”
This marks the first solo “Superman” film in over a decade, since Zack Snyder’s 2013 “Man of Steel,” which went on to gross $670 million at the worldwide box office. That film kicked off a DC Universe continuum including titles like “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “Wonder Woman,” “Suicide Squad” and “The Flash.” The timeline came to an end with “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” in December 2023.
“Superman” is set to release July 11. Watch the trailer below.
