Tomorrow marks the unveiling of the first teaser trailer for James Gunn’s take on Superman. And, in typical fashion, there’s been a pre-release tease to stir up some excitement.
Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by all this marketing? We found out early this week that the new Superman trailer is set to drop tomorrow—Thursday, December 19. James Gunn, the director, even shared a snippet of the main theme for us to enjoy while we wait. But now there’s a 30-second teaser promoting the trailer release! That’s just too much build-up. We already know the trailer is coming tomorrow—this just feels like overkill.
But here it is. The teaser shows various people gazing upwards (which lines up with the film’s “Look Up” tagline). We also get our first glimpse of Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen. And yes, there are fleeting images of Superman soaring through the sky, though we don’t actually get to see David Corenswet’s face clearly. It’s definitely designed to pique curiosity. Anyway, the full trailer will be released tomorrow at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET/2 p.m. GMT. So, within 24 hours of reading this, the wait will be over for those eager fans out there.
This initial trailer represents a significant moment for Gunn as he takes on the role of co-CEO of DC Studios. The pressure is on him to guide the new DC Universe along a promising path, avoiding any pitfalls that could jeopardize the franchise’s future. Superman may be an iconic character, but considering how superhero movies have been performing lately, this trailer needs to make a strong impression to win over fans already familiar with the Man of Steel. So, sit tight; it’s almost here!
