David Corenswet is stepping into the red-and-blue suit as the new Superman, and fans are buzzing with excitement. With James Gunn leading the rebooted DC Universe (DCU), we’re promised a fresh, emotional, and slightly nerdy take on the Man of Steel. The first teaser trailer gave fans a glimpse of what’s to come, and it was enough to spark massive hype. But since then? Not much has been shared — until now.
James Gunn Breaks His Silence on the Next Superman Trailer
A curious fan recently asked Gunn on Instagram, “Superman 2nd trailer, when?” Gunn replied with a very James Gunn-style answer: “We just released five minutes of footage in theaters so that it will be a beat!”
What does that mean? Basically, fans should be patient. A five-minute preview was shown in theaters before The Minecraft Movie, giving lucky audiences a look at the new Superman in action. But for fans at home, the wait for the next official trailer continues.
Will the New Superman Trailer Drop on Superman Day?
Some fans are hoping that the second trailer will arrive on April 18 — known as Superman Day. It marks the anniversary of Superman’s first comic book appearance back in 1938. It would be a perfect day to release new footage, right?
Unfortunately, Gunn’s comment suggests that the trailer might not be ready by then. He’s likely still making adjustments — maybe fine-tuning the special effects or perfecting Superman’s cape flutter. But don’t lose hope. Even if a full trailer doesn’t arrive on Superman Day, DC might still surprise us with new posters, behind-the-scenes clips, or cast interviews to keep the excitement going.
What’s in the Superman Extended Trailer?
The special five-minute trailer shown at CinemaCon offered a deeper look into the movie. Fans who saw it were treated to more action, more emotion, and a better idea of James Gunn’s vision for Superman.
Here’s what stood out:
- A Battle-Worn Superman: Corenswet’s Superman isn’t just smiling and flying. He’s bruised, struggling, and clearly going through something tough. This shows a more grounded, relatable version of the hero.
- Krypto the Super-Dog: Yes, Superman’s loyal dog Krypto appears in the trailer! Not just for laughs, Krypto actually helps Superman reach the Fortress of Solitude. It’s a sweet moment that touched a lot of fans.
- A New Fortress of Solitude: The classic icy fortress has been reimagined. It still feels magical but with a modern design. Even better, it includes Superman Robots — a cool nod to the All-Star Superman comics.
- Emotional Depth + Epic Moments: The extended trailer ends with scenes from the first teaser but adds more feeling and new lore. It mixes heart, heroism, and comic book details in true James Gunn style.
Final Thoughts
While fans are eager for the second trailer, James Gunn is asking everyone to be patient — and it’ll likely be worth the wait. He’s building something special, blending classic Superman charm with modern storytelling. So whether the next trailer drops on Superman Day or a little later, expect something epic.
In the meantime, keep rewatching that first trailer and stay tuned — Superman is almost ready to fly back into theaters.
