SUPERMAN Promo Shows Clark Kent's Transformation Into Superman As Trailer Music Is Officially Released

Some newly released promos for James Gunn's Superman offer a closer look at David Corenswet as both The Daily Planet's Clark Kent and Metropolis' greatest superhero, Superman. Check them out here...

The first Superman teaser trailer already appears to be breaking YouTube records (we hope to have more on that for you soon) and, on Instagram, Warner Bros. and DC Studios have quietly shared some new "stickers."

Those can be added to Stories on the social media platform and show David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Superman. 

There's a very obvious difference between the hero's two personas, something that's reflected in the actor's mannerisms as the intrepid Daily Plane reporter. The hair - which has already generated a great deal of discussion - is also a good way for Kal-El to hide his secret identity. 

While not the highest quality clips, these also offer perhaps our best look yet at the Man of Tomorrow's DCU costume. It's a major departure from what Henry Cavill wore in the DCEU, though James Gunn has said he wanted to avoid "fake muscles" and "airbrushed abs."

Take a closer look at Superman's lead, along with a fun Clark clip from the movie's set, below. 

"I knew from the beginning what I wanted to do with the music," Gunn said at a Q&A this past Monday. "I thought about it a lot, 'Are we going to do something completely different? Are we going to use the [John] Williams’ theme?'"

"That soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, and when I was a kid, really...the thing I loved the most about the movie was the music. That was the thing I took home with me more than anything else," he continued. "But I knew we were doing something that was harkening back to the past but also looking forward to the future, and so it was about finding that balance."

"John Murphy is a composer who I love working with, and he started working on the music before the script was even finished and was one of the first people I gave the script to, along with Peter Safran and a couple of others, so that he could start writing music for it. I said, 'I want to use a version of the Williams theme, but I want to do our own version of it.' So, that’s what you hear," Gunn concluded.

The full version of the music used in the Superman trailer has been officially released and you can listen to that here:

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, and Neva Howell. 

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - Get ready for the shared universe worshipers to start attacking you for "not understanding" the genius of James Gunn.

Other than that collar, this is perfect and much much better than the snyderverse: all of the right parts and colors are there!

Thank you, Gunn!

@GiverOfInfo - agreed he needs to lose the collar. Looks weird with the trunks
GiverOfInfo
GiverOfInfo - 12/20/2024, 11:38 AM
@Arthorious - the trunks are perfect. It is the collar and rest of the suit being made of that Captain America Winter Soldier patachuter type material that are off.

Cavill's suit was more accurate from the pecs and up, but Corenswet's suit is more accurate from the chest on down.

Corenswet is gonna nail the dual personas of both Clark & Superman , you can just tell from those “stickers”…

Also I forgot how deep his voice is actually lol.

I don’t mind the curly hairdo since while it isn’t exactly from All Star , the difference between this Clark & Superman dies give me All Star vibes.

@GarthRanzz - Clark Kent created both the costumed Superman persona as well as the mild mannered reporter disguise. Both of his creations are pictured here.

guy gardner's cut is something that I can accept as it's in the source material however an adult walking around with that bussin zoomer cut is just too much for me to accept

I'll say it until the day I die. James Gunns idea of a dorky ass awkward loser is Tony Khan, and I'm here for it.
SATW42
SATW42 - 12/20/2024, 8:54 AM
@SATW42 - he's aware of the world too, from another article here:

"He dresses like a professional wrestler, he dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that," the director added. "That really clicked in for me."

Plus, Gunn is the DC Studios head, connected to WB Discovery and Max. AEW just signed a deal with Max. You can't tell me Gunn hasn't crossed paths with him and thought, "that's my Awkward loser right there. I need a guy that symbolizes how Superman views humans, and it's Tony Khan"

They even have the same fasion sense

@vectorsigma - How is that being a hater? Not everyone is on board with certain aspects of what they see so far. It's not hate, it's an opinion.
SATW42
SATW42 - 12/20/2024, 8:55 AM
@vectorsigma - "curly hair"

Just to be clear, I don't hate on the curly hair. My head canon is what I said above and I love Gunn for it.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 12/20/2024, 9:02 AM
@DarthOmega - i guess lets venn diagram it. Not all who have these nitpicks are haters (so an opinion) but all haters have these nitpicks. 😅
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 12/20/2024, 9:03 AM
@SATW42 - just read it actually, i know you are not a hater 😂
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 12/20/2024, 9:19 AM
@vectorsigma - that's not hate -- it's a fact that this Superman's costume is baggy. It's opinion to a small minority that it looks good, and it's the opinion of the vast majority that it looks bad.

SonOfAGif - 12/20/2024, 9:47 AM
@DarthOmega - Because when vectorsigma has an issue with something he has the right to speak upon it and not be labeled a hater because it's his right to an opinion. But when a person uses their right to their opinion he doesn't agree with he believes you're a hater.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - oh, someone watching me im blushing.

I guess you missed when i said id give an exception on Superman articles now that marketing is in full swing

@GeneralZod @SonOfAGif - as posted earlier:

Sonofgif speaks as if you are victimized or something. Everything here is an opinion

@vectorsigma - Gotta make exceptions I see. Here I thought Josh articles were a safe haven

Man that suit is absolutely horrible.

There's nothing super about it 😭

User Comment Image

The only thing it beats cavills suit on is the colors, other than it's like Hollywood vs budget cosplay 😭
BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 12/20/2024, 8:57 AM
@BraveNewClunge - cavill actually looks like a hero in the gif above. There's an aura that the suit gives off.

Sadly corensweat looks like he's fancy dressing at the Christmas party 😭
SATW42
SATW42 - 12/20/2024, 9:03 AM
@BraveNewClunge - it's all opinions, but I think Snyders suit looks like ass, the ab muscles are corny as shit, and I know it came first, but it gives Homelander vibes.
BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 12/20/2024, 9:05 AM
@SATW42 - and that's ok to have poor taste, I won't judge you for it 👀

But at least Snyder made them look like superheroes.

@BraveNewClunge - you like trash, idc about the [frick]ing suit. You like bad movies, you like TERRIBLE character adaptations, and you love cringey ass slow mo
BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 12/20/2024, 9:12 AM
@bobevanz - I'm guess the slow mo in Gunns cosplay man is OK with you then 👀

You also seem to like trash 🗑 the only difference between you and i is that I'm adult enough to accept an opinion that is different to mine 🤣

Keep crying 😉

@BraveNewClunge - I do like the inclusion of the panties but overall it just doesn't compare to the man of steel look.
DrDReturns
DrDReturns - 12/20/2024, 11:13 AM
@BraveNewClunge - Amen.
That suit is perfection. They did mute the color a bit too much, but it is the best suit apart from direct comic book accuracy.
DrDReturns
DrDReturns - 12/20/2024, 11:14 AM
@BraveNewClunge - I agree.
Superman is also a state of confidence.

Hard to have that with these younger guys when they are told that masculinity is "toxic"...
