SUPERMAN Extended Preview Reveals Closer Look At The Fortress Of Solitude...And Jor-El's Voice?

Hi-res screenshots from Superman have been released following last night's extended look, offering a closer look at all those big reveals (and is that Jor-El's voice?). Be warned that spoilers follow...

Yesterday evening, the 5-minute Superman preview set to play in front of A Minecraft Movie this weekend leaked online. DC Studios' response was to release an official version, and while fewer DC fans will now head to theaters to check it out, those who do go will get a better idea of what to expect from the first DCU movie.

Some high-resolution screenshots from the sneak peek have been shared on X today. Those offer a closer look at Krypto, the Fortress of Solitude, the robots guarding the Man of Steel's hideout, and the process he goes through - using the Earth's sun - to heal. 

Filmmaker James Gunn has confirmed that Creature Commandos star Alan Tudyk is voicing "5," though we'd bet on him being revealed as Kelex. Listen closely when Superman first enters the Fortress, and a voice in the distance - saying "Kal-El" - can also be heard.

That's almost certainly Jor-El, and, yes, he sounds an awful lot like [SPOILER ALERT] Bradley Cooper [END SPOILERS].

It's an interesting first clip to share from Superman. It feels like the first half is meant to appeal to regular moviegoers with a cute, mischievous dog; the second half, meanwhile, promises comic book fans a fun, faithful take on the source material. 

"I started in the gym. That was the second thing James said to me was 'I want to work on your shoulders and your vulnerability,'" Superman star David Corenswet recently revealed. "And so, about a month into my intense gym routine I realized that I was preparing the role mentally by spending every day, several hours, by myself, lifting very heavy things."

"There's a certain solitude that comes in the gym. You're just there with yourself and you're the only one holding yourself accountable," the actor continued. "I think Superman has a certain solemn loneliness to him, where he wants so desperately to be connected to humanity, and he'll never quite be one of them, so I found a little piece of that early on."

You can check out these hi-res screenshots from Superman below, along with the 4K version of the preview from YouTube.

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.

I like the changes to the fortress of solitude. In this day and age with satellite and Google maps, they'd find his layer in a second. Also I like how it rotates likes an observatory. This feels like silver age Superman and I'm here for it! [frick] the haters

@bobevanz - Gunn really has thought about these details carefully.

And as @Mcmurdo has always mentioned, general audience sentiment in YT comments are positive so this has a big chance to be successful

@vectorsigma - people are just hyped for a Supes who thanks a robot and a Krypto who humanized him. That footage is really relateable to a ton of people. My family were just like dude that's totally Brandy (my bros border collie). We've known her since she was a tiny pup and every single time she comes to my dad's place or mine its like being tackled by a horse when you open that door. She just gets so hyped to see us lol

"DC Studios' response was to release an official version"

Again i would debate this was always the intention. They need as much coverage as possible to get the win out of the gate following DC's recent movie history.

@NoDaysOff - opening weekend will do great but word of mouth will be needed to get butts in seats for good box office numbers.
NoDaysOff

@slickrickdesigns - Yeah, it will prob hit 60 to 90mill domestic, at a minimum with the recent downward trend in Superhero movies, but if they get the marketing right and hit all their bases they could get that up to 12 to 150mill. I doubt it will break any records, but that's what sequels are usually for.

@bobevanz @NoDaysOff - They most definitely did. It's something Warner Bros. has done since the Suicide Squad trailer leaked from Comic-Con in 2015. You don't attach a 5-minute preview to a new film - which is meant to promote it and get more people to watch said film - only to put out an official at a random time on Thursday night right before Disney's CinemaCon panel. This was going to be released next week originally.

If the tone was different it could have worked, but if we're meant to care about Superman it falls flat because it's just Krypto torturing him and then robot 'comedy'.

If the film doesn't take his injuries seriously, why should we?

@bobevanz - a dog being a dog is not the issue here. Supers here looks to be Near the point of death, that is not a good time to inject a comedic moment.

@harryba11zack - that's the genius of Gunn. He creates scenes like these without taking away the heart of the movie. You will see

@harryba11zack - no one is perfect and his hits and misses are all relative to how the audience sees it.

If we base it on BO, then the gotg trilogy are hits and TSS a miss. So thats 75% so that is a good start

@harryba11zack - "Supers here looks to be Near the point of death, that is not a good time to inject a comedic moment."

It's so cliche at this point to make everything so dramatic when it comes to your protagonist at the brink of death in a superhero movie. Especially since we have no idea why.

harryba11zack
harryba11zack - 4/4/2025, 10:00 AM
@radamo3 - dial it back a bit for a start. Less ragdoll physics, comic Krypto is meant to be a smart dog maybe they could have added a small moment were he stops and notices the seriousness of the situation. could of had him show same concern for his master's injuries, a gentle face lick, just makes it look dumb, they're afraid of making it it emote anything other than cutness for the children.

That's what happened. He came up playing and then noticed somethign was amiss and stopped, then brought Kal-El home.

It was perfect.

Disagree. Supes liley just got his ass kicked in a super dramatic scene and this is rock bottom for him. You break that tension with a dog being a dog. It's in the manual.

@CaptainAwkward - to be fair brother, you're in denial that the scene in Man of Steel where Clark watches his father commit suicide by weather from 15 yards away isn't horrible or that said scene doesn't seriously take away from what is otherwise a pretty solid, if not overly bleak Superman film. It's like Snyder forgot Superman has super speed and could immediately get dad to Illinois or Indiana in the blink of an eye. The only way to explain that scene away is with some convoluted copium explanation about how Clark has no other choice because reasons

@Scarilian - shows you misunderstood the point of that scene. He thanks an automated robot to show he cares regardless of whether your a conscious being and that's then immediately contrasted with the new model being excited that Kal El acknowledges her. If you watch all the reaction vids on the tube, people like "dude I thank ChatGPT!" The entire point of the scene is to show Kal El's character. Glad you put comedy in quotations though because none of the robots crack any jokes in that scene.
Scarilian

@McMurdo -
I don't have issue with him thanking the robot, I praised that as a moment of his character in another of my comments.

The flaw lies in Krypto and the Robots impacting the tone, character states they don't have emotions then portrays emotions, that's the gag.

Superman is supposed to be dying and through none of this scene is that felt. We have Krypto messing around so we feel something when he's beaten/kidnapped. We have the robots showing feelings so their destruction hits harder later. Superman nearly dying facilitates setting up other characters rather than making us feel like Superman is in danger.

Gunn can balance tone, we've seen him do so in the Guardians films - just here he cares more about setting up later emotional payoffs than the emotional payoff right in-front of him with his main character.

lol… this is definitely going to be the most comedic Superman movie we’ve ever gotten. I’m hoping it’s well balanced for a good adventure.

@slickrickdesigns - gotg was comedic and has a lot of heart. Gunn knows how to balance these

It's weird I feel nothing for a superman movie 😭

I just need to force myself to get past Gunn's slapstick humor and the visual downgrade and I'll probably enjoy it 😩😩

There are elements i like dont get me wrong. A proper fortress, the colours of the suit, the tone of hope and the fact we're getting a universe that feels more like a wacky comic but man Cavill was literally super looking. Coresweat doesn't look super at all he looks weak 😮‍💨😩

Argh maybe i gotta just force myself to like this because u mfs cried and complained until you got what you wanted (a DC version of Gunns Mcu efforts).

Phuck you McMurdo *shakes fist 😅🤣😘

CaptainAwkward - 4/4/2025, 9:49 AM
@JurassicClunge - Ok krypto isn’t working. Too jarring feels cartoonish. The robots are contradicting themselves. They say they have no sentience but then one demonstrates humour. Which is it?! This is tonally inconsistent. The humour doesn’t work in this and it’s gonna kill the film’s credibility. Everything else was ok. Colour scheme, composition & blocking, set design, VFX. Still looks fun but far from a masterpiece unlike man of steel of course.

@CaptainAwkward - all facts! The humour is so jarring it puts me right off man and I'm finding it hard to get over how shit he looks in the suit. He looks like a normal dude 😩

I like MOS, but none of the DCEU movies are masterpieces. That movie had some of the best trailers of all time and imo it didn't live up to the hype. It is no doubt Henry's best movie as Supes.
