DC Studios has released another clip from Superman, this time giving us an extended look at an early action sequence involving the Man of Steel facing off against an equally powerful metahuman known as the Hammer of Boravia.

This latest preview begins with Kal-El returning from his healing session in the Fortress of Solitude for round 2 with the villain, who proves to be nearly impossible to land a single hit on. The Hammer seems to know Superman's every move... because he does!

During the battle, it's revealed that Lex Luthor and his team of tech-geeks are basically controlling the Hammer's actions with a series of commands. Luthor has studied Superman so thoroughly that he's able to predict the most effective counters to his fighting style.

Check out the clip below, along with a new behind-the-scenes photo shared by Gunn.

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

The cast also Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted last year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out a synopsis for the movie below.

"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."

@vectorsigma - Why? I want good DC movies and while I confess this Superman dosent appeal to me, I still wish success to Gunn as there are DC movies I wanna see (like Supergirl).

Please let's try to be civil, no need to "cope", we all want the same thing (I hope).

@Superheroking - There are worse names in the comics, Shaggy Man is a thing for instance or The Defenestrator so Hammer of a fictional Alpine country is relatively OK compared to some :D

@WalletsClosed - SPOILERS BELOW:

Are you referring to the Superman who ends Engineer physically, ends Ultraman physically, and outsmarts Lex all within a 20 minute sequence?


Hang in there buddy.

@McMurdo - man. Gunn is so creative and that engineer + ultraman sequence is so unique in trying to kill a superman.

Kryptonite has been cliched that only creative guys like that can think of it

@blitzburgh - I did see it and I give it an 8.5/10. Too short but a blast to watch. I didn't feel the Gunn humor undercut any of the dramatic moments. I gotta see it again to cement my score though because it did take me 20 mins to get into the story due to what I expected about a Superman film....but that's not a ding like it might sound. It's just wholly unlike any comic book film I've seen. It's very Justice League Unlimited.

@McMurdo - is he a better Superman than Cavill was and how did the suit look in the movie because most of the screenshots look terrible
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/13/2025, 12:41 PM
@blitzburgh - I feel you on the screen shots man. It looks so much better in the film. I never thought about the suit looking bad whilst watching the film. I think he's absolutely a better Superman than Cavill simply because he's far closer to his comic book counterpart than Cavill's version of Kal El. This Superman is alot like the animated series character or even the more recent My Adventures with Superman version of Kal El. Definitely a huge All-Star Superman inspiration here. But I don't blame Cavill for his take being more dour and really more emo because he was working off the script written for him. Will be curious to hear your thoughts on the movie after you've seen it man.

So im assuming the hammer of brovia has superhuman speed? Thats the only way this makes sense.

@knighted - I remember playing a realy good flight sim AGES ago now, fun thing was a Spitfire could easily beat modern fighter jets cos lower speed with higher manoeuvrability Trumped Mach 2 with heat seeking missiles and the like.

You do have a point but if it works in the context of the film I think then we tend to overthing such things else where is the risks of loosing 99% of the time with a character like Superman. ISometimes you simply have to overlook the fact a remote controlled robot type thing couldn't realisticaly be fast enough and JUST be OK if it looks like a good fight to watch on a big screen (or not, which is OK too).
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/9/2025, 5:30 PM
@knighted - he has far more than super human speed.
Canyoublush
Canyoublush - 7/9/2025, 5:48 PM
@knighted - It doesn’t need to make sense. As cliched as it sounds this is a comicbook. There’s only so much internal-logic you can stick to. Superman is an invincible superhero therefore he needs challenges otherwise what’s the point in action sequences and fight scenes if he’s not tested to his limits? Sure this clip is some goofy ass shit, perhaps the weakest fight of the film but this is the superman y’all wanted so. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Need to see this in context. Seems like Supes should be able to respond faster than an enemy being remote controlled.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/9/2025, 5:40 PM
@mountainman - basically Lex explains he's been obsessively studying Superman's combat techniques for his 3 years as Superman and is using the commands prior to Superman even makes his moves. But it only works for so long.

@JobinJ - "....again, this is stupid. He is not a psychic"

He is when the script needs him to be.

This is the 21st Century version of Superman throwing his logo at Zod/pulling a new power out of his ass.
mountainman
mountainman - 7/9/2025, 5:54 PM
@McMurdo - Ok that makes more sense. I feel like this clip without that understanding makes Superman look like an idiot. Lex just studied him and developed counter measures.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/9/2025, 6:04 PM
@mountainman - it sets up Lex as a true genius. He's really smart and ahead of Supes for a good chunk of the film.....until Supes out smarts him. This is the least offensive part of the film trust me.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/9/2025, 6:05 PM
@JobinJ - nope, he's a genius.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 7/9/2025, 6:06 PM
@JobinJ - Neither are professional boxers or MMA fighrers but they study their opponents moves and are able to be ready for them and counter them in fights. Often they are even able to predict what their opponent will do before they do it.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 7/9/2025, 6:08 PM
@McMurdo - I mean, he doesnt even need to be a genius. Pro boxers and MMA fighters study their opponents and can predict their moves during a fight. Pretty much every fighter does this to one extent or another.

@mountainman - i feel like WB marketing is feeding the trolls with these out of context scenes. For a hater (snyder fans for example) this scene is easy to criticize without the full context.

And it is fun to see the meltdown with the current reception to the movie, knowing Gunn always tries to make things make sense in his movies
