James Gunn Announces A SUPERMAN "World Tour" With An Uplifting Poster; Featurette Reveals New Footage

The Superman teaser trailer broke records when it was released last December, and filmmaker James Gunn has today announced plans to keep the hype train rolling with a "World Tour," which will see him and the cast take the movie across the globe.

The DC Studios co-CEO shared the news in a video posted to his X and Instagram accounts. That was accompanied by a new poster featuring the Man of Steel and a list of dates, likely referring to when those countries will host premieres and fan events.

This is a similar shot to the one featured on the teaser poster, and we have to believe more like this will be coming our way in the weeks ahead. Character posters will be a must for fans, and we expect those and more to land when tickets go on sale. 

We also have a new featurette for Superman teasing David Corenswet's transformation into Superman. That also includes a few new snippets of footage from both the movie and behind the scenes. 

During a recent interview with Wonderland, the actor revealed how he reacted to the news he'd play the DCU's Superman. "I stepped away and answered the phone, and [Superman's director] James Gunn said, 'David, it’s James Gunn.' And I said, 'Can you prove that?' Because I was in a suspicious mood," he joked.

"I was able to tell my mom, aunt, uncle, sister, and wife before the news was made public," the actor said. "The last person I got to tell, a few hours after it was available publicly, was my high school theatre teacher, who was the one to convince me to audition for The Juilliard School and is a very close friend. He texted back, 'I’m doing a radio show for this theatre thing I’m involved with in Philly. I’ll call you back.'"

"So, when he was done, I called him and asked, 'How’s it going?' He replied, 'Oh, it’s great! I was talking about this and that David, you know how it is...' I then said, 'Oh, did you tell them what it feels like to have your high school theatre student playing the next Superman?'" Corenswet continued. "And the phone just went dead. Then he exclaimed—I don’t really remember what he said, but it was a really great phone call."

You can check out this new poster, a message from Gunn and Superman's cast, and the latest featurette in the social posts below.

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, Neva Howell, and Milly Alcock.

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.

man, i still cant bring myself to like the suit. Why train to get a heroic body and bag it up in a motorcycle jacket? I still thinkg/hope that he'll get his skintight signature suit at the end.

@IvanBadsky - Other than Reeve, can you name one actually “skintight” suit in live action for Superman? Maybe Caine. Yes they all tend to get into good shape for the role, but they end up wearing a suit with muscle padding. I’m glad it’s not super tight and look more comfortable than most of the previous versions.
PatientXero
PatientXero - 5/29/2025, 2:49 PM
And I’m sure even this one has some padding.

mck13 - 5/29/2025, 2:53 PM
@IvanBadsky - me neither...it looks like a baggy scuba suit...the color saturation of blue ,yellow, red is too much..like thats all we needed for a Superman movie smfh

mck13 - 5/29/2025, 2:54 PM
@PatientXero - Henry Cavill Suit was SKIN TIGHT!!!!!
PatientXero
PatientXero - 5/29/2025, 2:57 PM
@mck13 - With padding in it. Do some research.
mck13
mck13 - 5/29/2025, 3:11 PM
@PatientXero - without a shirt Henry Cavil is the MOST RIPPED SUPERMAN EVER!!!!!! He doesn't need any padding, there was air brushed highlights... LOOK THAT UP!!!

@PatientXero - Even with padding and airbrushing, there is no denying that Cavill put in the work.
He looked the part through and through.

DrDReturns - 5/29/2025, 3:32 PM
@PatientXero - What I mean to say is that his Supersuit was formfitting and didn't have to do much work in the way of Cavill's physique.

Not addressing the suit's design (I, personally, love it!), the suit had some great engineering behind it and ultimately produced a masculine and commanding presence.

PatientXero - 5/29/2025, 3:38 PM
@DrDReturns - I don’t dislike Cavill’s suit, but it wasn’t bright enough for me. It has my favorite symbol style for live action. While I love the Kingdom Come symbol, repurposing it for this looks great, but I’d prefer an S.
DrDReturns
DrDReturns - 5/29/2025, 3:45 PM
@PatientXero - I do agree. It was a bit too dark...
Agreed. Great symbol! A lot of thought and creativity went into Cavill's suit.

If you haven't seen already, the "Absolute Superman" symbol is awesome in my opinion. My favorite since Cavill's.
The comic sucks though ;-)
PatientXero
PatientXero - 5/29/2025, 3:50 PM
@DrDReturns - I do like that symbol too. It’s a great version. I’ve heard mixed things. Haven’t read it, myself.

@PatientXero - Let me be a little more diplomatic...
I don't much care for it.

He worked out to put on a suit that has zero definition. He looks like an average skinny dude in a shitty homemade Halloween Superman costume LOL

@TheNewYorker - So how would you have him look?

@mck13 - I bet you liked that, didn't you?

radamo3 - 5/29/2025, 6:39 PM

Holy shit! A an article that isn’t doom and gloom or trying to put a dark cloud over the movie!

I’m looking forward to this movie.

@PatientXero - so you like being lied to..ok this movie is the best ever
PatientXero
PatientXero - 5/29/2025, 2:55 PM
@mck13 - That’s a wild and misguided assumption you made there, bud. I didn’t even imply I want to be lied to. But the clear bias on this site by the “contributors” is palpable. Kids these days.

@PatientXero - You DO know this is the 3rd RESHOOT of this sad movie...theres a reason for pessimism.

@Gambito - totally agree! What is every film director’s aversion to the classic suit? With the exception of Richard Donner everyone tries to change it and put their own spin on it. Gunn’s looks he just pulled from every comic iteration to make an amalgamation of everything he liked. The S symbol is from Kingdom Come, something people who don’t read comics likely doesn’t know. The oversized shorts are from All-Star Superman, and the unnecessary lines and collar are from the New 52, which was one of his most despised suits. I just don’t get why we can never get the classic suit that’s in the comics and popularized in pop culture for a change. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The man put in the work and you can't even tell...
The suit does him NO service.

Say what you will about the design (I, personally, do not like it...) but the construction and execution do not make it look very heroic.

Outstanding. Hail Gunn!!

mck13 - 5/29/2025, 2:50 PM
The suit sucks balls BIG TIME! Even after editing it still looks BAD!!!! The goofy/Funny nature of this movie will DOOM it!!! Did anyone notice that Superman comics fell off when it was funny & goofy & became a Blockbuster when it had adult themes?

radamo3 - 5/29/2025, 6:36 PM
@mck13 - Examples, please?

Awwww man come to Cleveland! That’s where Superman is from, that’s where you filmed! They should have the world premiere there!

mck13 - 5/29/2025, 3:02 PM
Henry Cavill had the BEST SUIT. It made sense, its kryptonians skin suit under the armor. Thats why it's indestructible & it has kryptonian writing in it. Makes great sense & his mom didn't make it & never cleaned his boots SMFH! So krypton has earth animals there too hence Krypton? non of this makes sense..RED UNDIES came from the '30's STRONG MEN....nobody wears that anymore...hell everyone wears BOXERS in the modern world. This is BULL SHIT & to have Clark being raised in a double wide TRAILER doesn't make sense either!!!!
radamo3
radamo3 - 5/29/2025, 6:35 PM
@mck13 - I feel like you and the other Snyder Bros should start a side group called g@y 4 Cavill

Suits gotta be thick and tough. He can’t get in a super fight in Lycra. It’ll get ripped off in seconds. Might as well be naked.

mck13 - 5/29/2025, 3:05 PM
@theBlackSquare - the suit is supposed to be Kryptonian!! But sense in this dumb story his mom made it SMFH......HOW????????????
