SUPERMAN Promo Art Reveals New Look At Man Of Steel; David Corenswet Meets STEEL's Shaq In Hilarious NBA Promo

Merchandise for Superman is slowly starting to find its way into stores and a new trailer surely can't be that far away. In the meantime, a new look at the DCU's Man of Tomorrow has been revealed on the packaging for a kid's toothbrush.

It's an admittedly random place to see Supes but we'd bet on the iconic superhero being all over store shelves this summer. 

Despite the DC brand's struggles in recent years, Superman (and Batman) remain its most easily marketable characters. Putting the spotlight on the character like this is a wise move by DC Studios. 

Will it translate to all-important box office revenue? That remains to be seen, especially as Superman is sandwiched between Jurassic World Rebirth and The Fantastic Four: First Steps

A new Superman promo hyping up the NBA on TNT has also been released. In that, filmmaker James Gunn and actor David Corenswet hang out with Steel star, and sporting legend, Shaquille O'Neal as he admires the hero's new suit. 

Gunn has also shared several outtakes from the video and the trio clearly had a lot of fun making this. It's a shame there's no new footage from Superman, but Warner Bros. Discovery is still putting the full might of its brands behind the upcoming reboot to raise as much awareness as possible.

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.

That's legit the worst superman suit put to film 😭

Also I thought Gunn was short, he looks near the same height as david here.🤔
CaptainAwkward
CaptainAwkward - 2/16/2025, 4:36 AM
@BraveNewClunge - Camera angles can alter the height of someone to make them look taller also he might be wearing lifts. He’s supposed to be around 6 foot.
BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 2/16/2025, 4:48 AM
@CaptainAwkward - wow I thought he was like 5'8" or something, didn't realise he was about 6 foot.😯

@CaptainAwkward - nah it looks like trash to me. I'm not a fan of cheap looking visual downgrades and James Gunn's cringy jokes. I have no doubt the story would be good though.😮‍💨

@BraveNewClunge - I still think Rouths is the worst suit, this one 2nd worst. At least they got the colours right. And I love
BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 2/16/2025, 7:01 AM
@emeraldtaurus - i prefer rouths suit to this baggy cheap looking trash. I do agree with you on the colours though 😮‍💨

Huh, he seems tallish to me in things.

@BraveNewClunge - It’s rough… Baggy moto looking…
The colors are the only thing right about it.

Also, once again, artwork doing the heavy lifting and making the suit look… decent.

@bobevanz - the MCU has some horrible suits, especially the GOTG franchise 😩😅

BraveNewClunge - 2/16/2025, 12:24 PM
@DrDReturns - yep the colours and the cape is the only good thing about this suit! 😅

Nah for real they should give shaq a cameo just for jokes. Imagine shaq falling out of a building and superman swooping into save him like he would Lois. 😆😆😆😆😂

@CaptainAwkward - why Shaq ...better a basketball player of historic relevante like George Floyd

@Malatrova15 - yes, speak more on relevance

@CaptainAwkward - spoiler alert Shaq owns the Daily Planet - that would be one heck of a cameo lol.
CaptainAwkward
CaptainAwkward - 2/16/2025, 5:06 AM
@Malatrova15 - George who? Sorry I’m only familiar with shaq, Koby, LeBron and Jordan. Anyone else is a nobody to me but then I was never into basketball. Also shaq is funny, he’s a clown and he would suit this movie perfectly because it looks goofy asf.

@CaptainAwkward - I have no problem with Shaq being in it cameo-wise, he's been a lifelong Supes fan, but with Krypto, Jimmy Olsen, Nathan Fillion, & other James Gunn additions... more "goofiness" I'm afraid, would start to hurt it more. While I can't quite get behind the "In Gunn we Trust" folks, he DOES have a good eye for things, but his "particular brand" of goofiness sometimes needs to be wrangled in, like Snyder with slo-mo....some scenes look amazing using it, some not so much.

CaptainFlapjaks - 2/16/2025, 11:05 AM
@CaptainAwkward - or superman is about to get a cat out of a tree, then shaq walks by, reaches up without needing to fly, and grabs the cat. Thus leaving superman in a state of bewilderment and confusion.

Looks fantastic, the suit is so much better than Snyderman's and has all of the right parts and colors, I am just not a fan of the collar, but the rest is great and even the collar doesn't look bad here.

In Gunn We Trust!

@Pictilli - You remind me of those people who claim to be happy in their new relationship but keep talking about their ex. Just say you like the suit.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 8:32 AM
@Highflyer - I’ll def give it to Herman/shinzo/pictilli has been pretty consistent with his dislike for the Snyder-universe and his love for Gunn and this new version.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 3:02 PM
@epc1122 - Don’t forget Counterpoint. He was really burning up the anti-Semitism back then.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 3:11 PM
@RolandD - that’s really besides the point. He won’t change his beliefs but hopefully he can tone down the rhetoric. I mean how many times can one person get banned and have to make a new profile before you learn? But anyways, deep down most people are good, he’s just so set in his ways and thinking. But he has always been a fan of this new take even though there’s been minimal information, story, and visuals.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 3:28 PM
@epc1122 - Agreed. Like you said, I think he’s just toned down his comments, but they still bubble up sometimes, just not as bad as they used to be.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 3:54 PM
@RolandD - yeah, he tends to repeat almost all of the same points so it’s almost obvious it’s the same person. Anyways, hopefully when he watches this new take it lives up to his expectations.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 4:08 PM
@epc1122 - And I am hoping it lives up to my expectations and yours as well
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 4:17 PM
@RolandD - agreed but I can find something to like in most versions of Superman. I understand that Superman has been around for so long and there are so many different versions and incarnations that there really is no one perfect version. I just hope I enjoy most of the movie. Really love the trailer and most of what I’ve seen so far. But I will say, I think the suit is a bit too baggy and Corenswet looks more like Superman in real life. Too much of the all star Superman look where he’s more bulky compared to looking in shape. Getting used to the collar but still prefer the collar gone. It is what it is.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 7:25 PM
@epc1122 - yeah, I would prefer the customer was more for fitting and I’m not thrilled with the lines and I would prefer the classic collar. That said, I believe the trunks fell on the suit, the colors are perfect and he’s actually even got the yellow S emblem on his cape. The story and characterization is going to be the most important thing which I think is pretty much what you’re saying as well.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 7:54 PM
@RolandD - I just can’t wait for the movie. From what I’ve been reading, it seems like Gunn is really trying to celebrate and incorporate a lot of the Superman mythology that’s come before but at the same time trying to bring something new and fresh which is no easy task. The music alone from the trailer has me super pumped!!
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 8:36 PM
@epc1122 - I agree. I think he has respect for the character and this is not going to be like a GotG movie except for in the area of heart. He knows how to play the heart strings with meaningful moments in my opinion. He’s my favorite superhero and I have very high hopes for this movie.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 8:43 PM
@RolandD - I agree, I just can’t wait. I was disappointed Superman and Lois was canceled but understood why. If I had my way there would be a Superman movie series, a tv series, and comics that continue past versions of the character. Even better, for shows/movies from the past where the story was left up in the air, either an episode or a movie to end the story.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/16/2025, 8:55 PM
@epc1122 - Maybe I am getting way ahead of myself but I think this has the potential to be the best superman movie ever. Christopher Reeve was fantastic as Superman and as Clark Kent and I don’t know that that can be topped, but this movie is being made by someone who loves comic books, who loves superheroes, has a passion for it. I hope I’m not setting myself up for a big disappointment, but like I keep saying, I have high hopes for this movie.
epc1122
epc1122 - 2/16/2025, 9:09 PM
@RolandD - I think Bryan singer only had a passion for for Superman 1, Snyder had a passion for the character but wanted something new and grounded, and Gunn has a passion for the comics and the movies. I’m definitely excited to see gunns take but I hope it’s not too silver age where there’s new/odd powers but def looking forward to the sci fi aspects and the heart.
Pictilli
Pictilli - 2/16/2025, 9:38 PM
@RolandD - Gunn's Superman will be the best since the original Reeve film. Watch.
RolandD
RolandD - 2/17/2025, 12:00 AM
@Pictilli - I expect it will be too.

They should definitely take a couple pages from the Richard Pryor ERA of the Christopher Reeve FILM, "Superman III', I believe, and follow through with what that film intended, but this time, actually stick the landing, by bringing some wholesomeness, warmth, and timeless harmless Comedy, to the franchise; mixing seriousness with comic elements that enhances, the mood/tone, without taking away from the story's narrative drive.
