Superman: James Gunn Teases First Trailer, Plus HUGE Corenswet Praise!
James Gunn's NYCC Update: Superman is Coming (and He's Gonna Blow You Away!)
Hold onto your capes, folks!James Gunn dropped some seriously exciting news at New York Comic Con (NYCC) about his upcomingSupermanmovie (July 2025). It's been ages since the last big update, and considering this is Gunn’s first project in the relaunchedDC Universe (DCU); after that somewhat tumultuousDCEU, it really means we've got plenty of anticipation. And to further make it clear just how important this new phase truly is for the overall direction, Gunn makes his statement and addresses another important fact concerning one of his future productions that would set an important launch pad; those plans regardingCreature Commandos— his initialDCUproject slated to launch in less thantwo months– that sets a significant start that impacts future production cycles.
Gunn made another very crucial and surprisingly insightful point: he revealed another very significant aspect for those involved and shows that he was not just paying lip-service regarding talent for this upcoming superhero-themed production; this would also involve discussing the talent, experience and just how significantDavid Corenswet’srole asSupermanactually is! This alone madeGunn’sstatement exceptionally interesting and valuable; conveying some deeply valuable insights regarding that production process and what the fans might anticipate. He literally calledCorenswet"the movie star that everyone just dreams he could possibly be," praising his range ("dramatically, comedically") and describing him as "the best physical action star I've ever worked with.” He then later also praises other cast membersRachel Brosnahan(asLois Lane) andFrank Grillo; conveying the level of talent within the team chosen by Gunn.
Superman Trailer: Soon, But Not Too Soon!
Filming wrapped inJuly. The edit's almost done, according to Gunn and those editing phases are almost completely finished; it shows that a completed version isn't really far away; this sets up what sounds like great hype and intense efforts are being undertaken! And Gunn teases the first trailer: "It won't be too long until we see a trailer, but it's also not going to be too soon."
That sounds a little vague; but that might also reflectGunn’sefforts to really manage those incredibly hyped expectations. His prior comment onThreads(a thinking emoji in response to whether the trailer might appear before the year ends)? It further amplifies that hype surroundingSuperman'supcoming release.
Predicting the Superman Trailer Release Date: Gunn’s Clues
The movie releases inJuly 2025; giving aroundeightmonths for post-production, editing phases plus launch promotion; this timeframe creates great insight in various previous projects forGunn; showing a more focused analysis on these elements surrounding the overall impact for various previous projects undertaken, specifically concerning the timeline and frequency for releases. Let’s compare that timeframe toGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3(trailer droppedDecember 1st, 2022; release:May 5th, 2023),Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2(trailer:October 19th, 2016; release:May 5th, 2017), and the originalGuardians(trailer:February 18th, 2014; release:August 1st, 2014). That average timeframe, falls betweenfive to sixmonths!
Using this, a five to six-month range could mean a trailer drop at the end of 2024– this particular time range falls squarely between most anticipated ranges from that information given; emphasizing another highly valued point of anticipation; it is expected the trailer will happen soon!CCXP(Brazil) is December 4th– this might actually serve as a launching point for that promotion and could align perfectly withCreature Commandos’launch onDecember 5th– building up that marketing buzz prior to launchingSuperman– really showcasing that important plan to relaunch theDCUto massive success! This will require significant marketing!
