SUPERMAN: First Trailer For James Gunn's Reboot Could Release Online Sooner Than Expected

It seems the first trailer for James Gunn's Superman could be with us sooner than expected, and might also screen in theaters with Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King...

Superman fans have been anxiously awaiting a first look at some footage from James Gunn's upcoming DCU reboot, and the first teaser for the movie might be released online a little sooner than we were expecting.

Gunn has already confirmed that he will not be present at CCXP in São Paulo, which runs from the 5th to the 8th of December, but we had heard that the trailer will debut on Wednesday, December 25th during one of the scheduled NBA games.

Now, Collider is reporting that the trailer is tentatively expected to arrive online around mid-December, and could screen in theaters with Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King on December 20.

Several online scoopers seem to have backed this up with the usual nods and winks, and since this would be around the same time the fourth episode of Creature Commandos drops, there's speculation that Gunn might be planning some kind of crossover event to mark the trailer's release.

We still have no idea what to expect from the teaser, but actor Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr.) did recently hype up the footage.

“I got a sneak peek at a little bit of the trailer, and I’m not joking, and I’m not blowing this out of proportion, my skin was hot and I had goosebumps. That’s how great it is.

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

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "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 earlier this 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."

Obviously it'll show up before the long holiday. Saw Wicked last night, I'm not the biggest fan of Musicals but it was pretty awesome. Dolby Cinema is a necessity! After watching Joker 2, it's night and day how TERRIBLE and how that wasn't a musical! Take your lady or man friend

What if it gets attached to CC?

Either way we are all excited. A new era of CBMs where a good script and great creatives are priority is coming.

@BraveNewClunge - lolz. Not everyone likes to be entertained with dumbed down, cameo relying, cheaply executed superhero films.

@vectorsigma - then why are you excited for Superman?

It's cameos galore 😅😭

@BraveNewClunge - you misunderstand. You might be one of those who giddily celebrated when they saw Johnny Storm and Blade.

Superman will not rely on cameos and the audience's low standards of entertainment to be a good movie.

@vectorsigma - Have you watched Superman? You talk as if it is a certainty that it will succeed (I hope it does btw). What AllsGood is to Marvel, you're to Gunn. The blind fanboy. You've already made it clear how much you hate a movie that the vast majority loves, why this fixation with Deadpool and Wolverine, jesus.

@vectorsigma - yet the film has jam packed krypto, JL a bunch of villians etc into his first DCU movie 😭😅 it looks like he's relying on other heroes to me carry this superman film to me.

Your saltiness over Deadpool is hilarious, I can't wait to see your responses when this film fails to be as successful.

@vectorsigma - I could definitely see it be released on Brazilian Comic Con, with it being released online a week later or so.

I do trust Gunn as well. Even in ensembles he always managed to get the characters of protagonists right. And that's exactly what Superman needs right now.

@Urubrodi - it is a projection based on previous results, not too hard to make actually. I might be wrong, but previous work by Gunn say s otherwise.

And lolz at comparing me to AlssGood. I havent posted anything box office related and claiming wins for marvel and disney from a stretched logic. I just tend to enjoy Gunn's CBM work and i dont need to force anything as a lot enjoy them too. Even saved Marvel from total humiliation last year

My opinion:
"dumbed down, cameo relying, cheaply executed
movie"

Your reply:
"Vast majority loves"

Our society now, ladies and gentlemen. Lolz

@BraveNewClunge - you already know the film huh? That he relies on these cameos for its success?

Tbh. Im a bit nervous on how the sheeple might not go out and support this movie unlike your favorite dumb d&w.

At the end of the day, this is Marvel's competition and Disney has a lot of resources to pay shills like on this site if they choose to bring that movie down.

@bkmeijer1 - and i really dont get some of the Gunn hate I see after he left Marvel.

When he was doing the Guardians trilogy, i rarely see any criticisms outside of those twitter booboos.

Loyalists be loyalista i guess.

A wait and see game but my money has always been on it being good.

@vectorsigma - Dude what do you expect?For me to go into some deep discussion every time you hate on Deadpool and Wolverine? Which is all the time? This article is about Superman and you managed to bring the conversation back to Deadpool again. You seem to lack the self awareness of how annoying your bitching is. Indeed our society has seen better days. We’ve already talked about this movie countless times because you keep bringing it up. The cameos in the movie were not there for just some throwaway scenes without relevance, they played major roles in the story, without The Others help they wouldn’t have escaped the void for example. And of course they played on nostalgia and humor, those are things that most fans appreciate. Since you love Gunn so much, will you tell me that Howard the Duck, Cosmo or the original Guardians were vital to those movies. Their main purpose was fan service.

I really hope Gunn does an amazing job at DC, cause they really need a win. And yeah he did do a great job with Guardians 3 and 2023 was probably Marvel’s weakest year (although Loki was fantastic in the television side). But saved Marvel?! lol the movie made decent money, but it didn’t come close to the movie you love on hating, did it?

@vectorsigma - yeah, seems that way. I could see Gunn's comedic tone be too much for some, but in no way do I expect that to overshadow his projects

@vectorsigma - you already know the film? You know that all those characters stuffed in won't take away from a solo superman story?

If people don't support Gunn it's his own fault. I more of a DC fan than marvel and I liked elements of the DCEU. Gunn is clearly a narcissistic prick as he is choosing to save his passion projects and expecting people to accept his slapstick versions with open arms.

I will wait for a trailer to see if this movie interests me but so far I haven't liked anything I've seen.

Who knows if the sheeple will support it, that is something neither of us can control 😅 so it's best not to worry about it.
