The much-anticipated trailer for the new ‘Superman’ movie may be closer than ever. DC Studios’ head James Gunn provided an exciting update that has reignited buzz for the project.
Nearly a year after the timeline of the DCEU officially ended, fans are eagerly awaiting glimpses of what the new era under Gunn’s stewardship will bring. Now, Gunn has finally shared more information about ‘Superman’ on Threads.
James Gunn Teases Completed ‘Superman’ Trailer
It’s been months since the announcement of the rebooted ‘Superman’ film. The film is supposed to mark the beginning of DCU’s Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. A fan’s question on Threads recently shed light on just how eager audiences are for updates.
“When is the Superman trailer coming out? Because I am seeing Captain America: Brave New World trailer, Thunderbolts trailer, Peacemaker Season 2 first look, and now Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning trailer and I’m like, where is the Superman trailer at?” the fan asked.

Gunn’s response was quick with a tinge of humor. “It’s on my hard drive. But, seriously, all three of those projects come out months before us,” he wrote. While lighthearted, Gunn’s comment carries weight.
It suggests that the trailer for the ‘Superman’ film is completed or nearly so. It also implies that the film’s marketing campaign could begin at any moment.
The Animated Series ‘Creature Commandos’ Will Be The First Project Set In The New DCU

This also explains why more substantial updates for Superman’s marketing might have been delayed.
Adding to the complexity of the timeline, James Gunn has also been busy filming ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2. So, the busy schedule also explains why editing and promotional plans for the ‘Superman‘ movie have taken time.
However, fans should take comfort in knowing that by Gunn’s admission, the trailer is ready to go. The upcoming Superman movie will be the first big-screen iteration of the character under Gunn’s DCU vision.
It will also mark David Corenswet’s debut as the new Man of Steel. The trailer is also expected to set the tone for the reimagined franchise.
