Will it drop on Superman Day?
The countdown to Superman is on, but fans anxious for a second trailer may need to hold tight just a bit longer. With DC Studios preparing to relaunch its cinematic universe this July, James Gunn—the creative force now shaping the future of the DCU—has offered a transparent update about the next look at David Corenswet’s debut as the Man of Steel.
Responding to a fan on Instagram who asked about a new trailer, Gunn replied:
“We just released five minutes of footage in theaters so it will be a beat!”
The extended sneak peek, currently playing in front of The Minecraft Movie, offers fans a deeper glimpse into the tone, scope, and emotional resonance of this reimagined Superman saga. But as far as digital audiences are concerned, it’s now been over three months since the first teaser broke the internet and anticipation is growing.
All Eyes On April 18th — Could Superman Day Deliver a Surprise?
With Superman Day falling on Friday, April 18th, rumors have reached an all time high. After all, the date commemorates the Man of Tomorrow’s first appearance in Action Comics #1 back in 1938. It would be the perfect symbolic launchpad for DC Studios to unveil a second trailer. Or at least something meaningful to fans worldwide.
While Gunn has noted that he’s still working on the next trailer, his cryptic silence on any specific drop date has only fueled theories that DC could be saving a surprise reveal for the big day. Even if the full trailer doesn’t land this week, Superman Day could still bring exciting content.
A Fresh Start For The DCU
More than just a solo superhero outing, Superman is the first major building block in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe. With Corenswet stepping into the cape and Gunn himself directing, the film is expected to blend classic optimism with modern-day gravitas—setting a new tone for the DCU that bridges heartfelt storytelling with epic spectacle.
The extended footage already hints at a thoughtful, emotionally grounded Clark Kent, and fans are eager to see how Gunn will balance that with his trademark wit, action, and character-driven depth.
While it’s understandable that fans are hungry for more footage—especially with July fast approaching—Gunn’s deliberate pace suggests something serious. They’re not rushing this. And for a character as iconic as Superman, that’s a very good thing.
So whether April 18th brings a trailer, a poster, or simply a heartfelt nod to Superman’s enduring legacy, all we know is that the world is watching. And when the time comes, DC Studios is aiming to make this flight one to remember. Stay locked in to see when Superman soars back to the big screen this summer.
