DC Studios has unveiled a captivating new trailer for the upcoming Superman film, directed by James Gunn, set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. This trailer offers a thrilling three-minute glimpse into the movie, showcasing an impressive ensemble of superheroes and supervillains. Fans get a closer look at the action-packed sequences featuring Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern, effortlessly fending off foes, Isabela Merced as the fierce Hawkgirl, and the intriguing character The Engineer, portrayed by María Gabriela de Faría.
In this latest trailer, we discover that it's The Engineer who wreaks havoc on the robots in the Fortress of Solitude, including the beloved Kelex. This scene follows a previous trailer where we saw Superman mourning over Kelex after a fierce battle. The trailer also highlights the bravery of Krypto the Superdog, who is shown executing a flying punch at The Engineer during the intense confrontation. It's clear that Krypto is more than willing to dive into the fray when it comes to battling villains.
The trailer doesn't stop there; it also features Lex Luthor, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult, and Ultraman in action. Fans are treated to more scenes of Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific and Anthony Carrigan's Rex Mason / Metamorpho. Additionally, the Hammer of Boravia, a brand new character introduced by Gunn and revealed in a teaser yesterday, makes an appearance in the full trailer. There's speculation that this character might actually be Ultraman in disguise.

Central to the narrative is the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The trailer showcases Lois conducting an interview with Clark in his Superman guise, which escalates into a heated debate over the ethics of Superman's controversial decision to intervene in a foreign war. Superman defends his actions, stating, "I wasn’t representing anyone except for me... and doing good!" This intervention leads to the Hammer of Boravia launching an attack on Downtown Metropolis.
Another poignant scene from the trailer depicts a member of the public aiding Superman out of a hole in the ground during the battle with the Hammer of Boravia. This act of kindness stands in stark contrast to other scenes where the public is shown screaming at Superman and even hurling objects at him, highlighting the complex relationship between the hero and the citizens he vows to protect.
