SUPERMAN Motion Poster Sees The Man Of Steel Take Flight And Features A VERY Familiar Theme Song

It's time to look up because Warner Bros. and DC Studios have released the first poster for Superman, and it's accompanied by a new take on a classic piece of music. You will believe that a man can fly...

Speculation about when we'll see the first Superman trailer has been running wild on social media for months now. However, this week at last looks set to be all about the Man of Tomorrow as the first poster for the movie has just been released by DC Studios. 

Shared as both a motion poster and traditional one-sheet, it shows David Corenswet's Superman taking flight surrounded by similar colours to those used on posters for 1978's Superman: The Movie

Likely confirming that classic blockbuster will be a key source of inspiration for filmmaker James Gunn is the fact that we hear a reimagined version of John Williams' classic theme for this contemporary take on the iconic superhero. 

It's unclear whether this is John Muphy's main theme for Superman in the reboot but it's hard to imagine anyone having an issue with that being used when it's become so synonymous with the character. 

It was previously used in the Smallville finale and Superman Returns, with the latter serving as a follow-up to Richard Donner's beloved classics.

Check out the first Superman poster below and stay tuned for more on the trailer as we have it.

Superman tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

David Corenswet is playing the Man of Steel, while Rachel Brosnahan has been tapped to star as Lois Lane.

The cast includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.

Supporting characters include Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa Kent, Neva Howell as Ma Kent, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher MacDonald as Ron Troupe, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Milly Alcock as Supergirl.

Superman is currently set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.

@Mixedsuperman - Well… they already released a snippet on John Murphy's official YouTube.

I thought it sounded a lot like the Man of Steel theme. Do the rest of you hear John Williams' theme?
Mixedsuperman
Mixedsuperman - 12/16/2024, 9:08 AM
@Bokis - That absolutely is the JW theme.

@Bokis - the start also gave me the impression of the hans zimmer score. Then the end it was the williams one

GREAT score!

@Bokis - its kind of a mash up tbh. As MoS did have some vocals in the background...

@Bokis - I felt the same as you. Sounds more like MOS theme to me. I don’t hear the iconic John Williams “Superman March” at all! I had the JW theme played at my wedding, it’s on my workout mix, and I hum it constantly. So I don’t know what people are talking about when they say they heard the same thing here?!?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Bokis - It's snippets of the Williams score that are stretched well longer and also don't build to the same end.

I'm not familiar what score is this ?

@Tardisdan - It's the John Williams Superman theme.

Josh, enough with the "seemingly confirmed." If it's seemingly then it's not confirmed - it's speculation. Come on, man. Stop it.

A fine poster. I hope the John Williams theme is just for this poster because I would very much prefer to see a new Superman theme come into existence.

@Fares - I think Williams theme is universally known to be the Superman theme because of how that movie changed the Superhero genre.
Fares
Fares - 12/16/2024, 10:28 AM
@Se4M4NSt4ine - It's definitely iconic and the most known and I love it, but if we keep using it we rob ourselves from new creative reimaginings of what the Superman theme could be. I'm happy that that mostly hasn't been the case ever since the Superman animated series. I love the theme for that series and we wouldn't have had it if the creators were just like "nah we already got THE theme, we don't need to create a new one".

Hans Zimmer did a great job. Superman and Lois theme was great too. But the JW theme will always be Superman.

@LilJimmy - My 2nd favorite theme is the Shirley Walker one from S:TAS

I would prefer a theme atleast unique to this version of the character but if that is just part of the score then it’s a beautiful take on the Williams theme…

It feels hopeful & awe inspiring at the same time.

Also , I dig that poster!!.
