The first trailer has been released for James Gunn’s hotly awaited reboot of Superman, a film that Hollywood is hoping will come to its rescue as one of the biggest releases of 2025.

David Corenswet plays the Man of Steel in the movie that’s intended to kick-start a new era for DC Studios, which writer-director Gunn and producer Peter Safran took over in 2022.

The trailer starts with Superman crashing to Earth in an icy landscape before being revived by Krypto the Superdog, who looks set to become a fan favourite.

The two-minute trailer also unveiled Rachel Brosnahan as the latest Lois Lane and British actor Nicholas Hoult as a bald and menacing Lex Luthor.

Corenswet, 31, who has previously appeared in TV series The Politician, Hollywood and We Own This City, is the fourth person to play the role in a major Superman movie, and the first for a decade.

Henry Cavill, who appeared in 2013’s Man of Steel and its spin-offs, announced in 2022 that he would return to the role – but Gunn and Safran decided to replace him after they took over DC.

However, many fans felt Cavill was unfairly treated and in recent days have been airing their views on social media that he should be allowed to finish his Superman saga.

Corenswet has taken ownership of the cape, though, and is seen in the trailer saving a girl from an explosion, smashing out of a glass cabinet and kissing Lois in mid-air.
