DC Studios co-head James Gunn is celebrating a record-breaking milestone with the release of the trailer for his upcoming film “Superman”. The preview, which dropped on Thursday, December 19, has garnered over 250 million views and one million social posts, making it the most viewed and talked about trailer in DC and Warner Bros history.
Gunn took to social media to thank fans for their support, stating that “Krypto really did take us home” and expressing gratitude for the enthusiasm surrounding the film. The movie, starring David Corenswet as Superman, is set for release on July 11, 2025, and features an ensemble cast including Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and María Gabriela de Faría.
Gunn shared insight into his vision for the film, describing it as “a movie about kindness” that explores humanity’s goodness. He also drew inspiration from various sources, including classic DC media, animated universes, and comic books, particularly All-Star Superman.
In a recent update, Gunn confirmed that filming wrapped in July but revealed plans to return to production for additional pickup shots, stating there would be no reshoots or scenes added. Despite some skepticism online, the trailer has grown on fans after multiple viewings, with many expressing excitement about the film’s release.
Gunn’s enthusiasm for “Superman” contrasts with a more negative reaction from some viewers, who compared it unfavorably to other DC films like Zack Snyder’s slow-motion heavy work and “The Flash”.
