First SUPERMAN TV Spot Released As CREATURE COMMANDOS Still Reveal New Look At The DCU's Clayface

The first trailer for Superman was released earlier this week - you can watch it here in case you've been living under a Kryptonite-shaped rock - and TV spots for the movie are already airing on U.S. television. 

There isn't any new footage (and it's yet to be officially released) but the promo below was shown during Saturday Night Live on NBC. Warner Bros. and DC Studios clearly aren't sparing any expense and we'd be shocked if Superman doesn't get a Super Bowl TV spot next year.

In fact, early February would be a great time to drop a new look at the reboot seeing as it's heading our way in July. With rumours swirling about the first The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer debuting during the Big Game, the movies may go head-to-head sooner than expected. 

We'll have to wait and see, and after the trailer broke records, it's a great idea to put a 30-second teaser like this out there to raise awareness among those who might not have caught it online. 

In related DCU news, and to save you an additional click, we also have some new stills from this Thursday's episode of Creature Commandos. They're noteworthy because we get our best look yet at Clayface, a villain who is getting his own movie in 2026. 

The animated series was produced long before that project was greenlit by DC Studios so we don't know how the two will connect and whether this Clayface will be the same one we see in Mike Flanagan's movie.

Multiple characters have held the mantle on the page, of course, so the Clayface who it seems will do battle with Rick Flag Sr. and Eric Frankenstein isn't necessarily going to be the focus of the Batman villain's big screen outing a couple of years from now.

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Also appearing are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. 

Creature Commandos tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails...they’re your last, worst option.

The cast features Steve Agee as Economos, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as GI Robot & Weasel, David Harbour as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025 and the first four episodes of Creature Commandos are now streaming on Max.

I love the TAS Clayface two parter. I'm so hyped for Flanagan's movie. Hate on haters 🤡

Also Creature Commandos is great, that last episode was so sad.

@bobevanz - it's a good show I'm really into it. But not surprising I like everything Gunn does. I only disliked Guardians 2.....but then I revisited it on mushrooms and I realized it was actually pretty brilliant and I was being a piss ant because I was still salty about Drax not being Drax (which still bothers me but whatever)

Cool , I like how monstrous Clayface looks

Also , this version of Frankenstein might be one of my favorites in the show…

He’s the opposite of the comic book version who's stoic and definitely more “heroic” then this take who feels like a child in a monsters body with a sense of entitlement & more emotional nature which I find interesting.

Anyway , I’m liking the show thus far!!.

@JoshWilding the newspaper was blown up in 4K and "the hammer of Boravia" is not Gorilla Grodd. Tons of story details in that newspaper so figured you may want to make an article.

@McMurdo - Thank you for this. Gives us a bit of a motive for Ultraman if he is the "Hammer of Boravia". Or a different villain.

@McMurdo - I was kind of hoping Grodd wouldn't be the overarching, Thanos level big bad. I like Grodd and all, but he shouldn't be the sizeable threat that takes all of the characters different franchises coming together to beat.

@JoshWilding - happy to oblige!

@SonOfAGif - almost certainly a set up by Lex with Ultraman

@McMurdo - And just to be clear. I know we have had disagreements in the past but this version of us I do enjoy. Mutually discussing a movie we both have interest and concerns in while not bashing another franchise for absolutely no reason. Let's keep up the good work.

@SonOfAGif - well I am sorry if I've ever been a c*nt in the past man. I enjoy your commentary and respect your comics knowledge and creativity quite heavily and sincerely.

Movie is going to kill it.

Been rewatching the animated series from the 90s and Superman got his butt handed to him often and it made every fight more engaging because he couldn’t just beat his opponents through sheer strength, he has to actually use his brain which makes Superman a lot smarter and more interesting of a hero.

Basically, to do Superman right, he should be slightly more like Spider-Man: relationship issues, juggling work and heroism, dual identity issues, personal struggles, does good no matter the cost, etc.

@HulkisHoly - oh its genius to set up the stakes immediately in this trailer. Everyone's first thought is, "who is powerful enough to do THIS to Superman?". Immediately peaks your interest. And it humanized him, taken even further by him needing his dog to help him get to safety.

I wouldn’t count on the C.Commando version of Clayface to be the version we see in this upcoming film.

The script was being worked on independently from the cartoon.

Gunn has made it very clear he’d not interested in interconnecting all media into one “universe.” It’s the anti-MCU. Projects are supposed to be greenlit and released if the quality of that individual project meets Gunn’s standard. To hell with intercontinuity.

Which I think is a good move. These are all stand alone projects under the branding of DC, that’s all.

As in Austin Powers 2, “it’s best not to worry about these things, & just enjoy yourself.”

Hope they cast Tudyk in the role for live-action, the man has great range.
