What Time The Superman Movie Trailer Releases

The first trailer for James Gunn"s Superman will drop on Thursday, December 19, begging the question of what exact time it will be released. As the first official movie of the DCU"s Chapter One, Superman has a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only is it promising to be a return to the form for the character after the DCEU"s more divisive take on the Man of Steel, but it is also the first step of a larger story. While Creature Commandos is currently airing on Max, James Gunn"s Superman movie is touted as the true beginning of the DCU.
After years of teasing via the cast announcements for Superman, the first look at the film is almost here. In December 2024, Gunn took to social media to unveil an official poster for the film that also promoted the first teaser trailer for Superman, revealing that it will be released on December 19. Given that the film is perhaps one of the most anticipated of 2025, many wondered when exactly they could begin watching the Superman trailer, down to the exact minute.

Alongside the date, the post confirmed that Superman"s trailer will drop at 6am PST. This means that those on the East Coast can expect the trailer at 9am ET, while those in the U.K. will be able to watch the trailer from 2pm GMT. Thankfully, Gunn"s timing is excellent, meaning it will not be too early or too late for many to watch the trailer. An official countdown to the trailer"s exact release time can be found on Superman"s official website.
What To Expect From The Superman Movie Trailer Custom image by Felipe Rangel Regarding what to expect from Superman"s first trailer, the answer is, well, Superman. A few official looks of David Corenswet as the DCU"s Superman have been provided by Gunn during production, but the actor is yet to be seen in full action as the last son of Krypton. The trailer will undoubtedly focus on this, from Superman"s new DCU costume to Corenswet"s version of Clark Kent. Beyond that, the other cast members of Superman will undoubtedly be shown in the trailer for the film.
Krypto the Super Dog was also confirmed to be part of Superman, meaning audiences can expect a first look at him in the teaser trailer.
Rachel Brosnahan is yet to be revealed as Lois Lane, as is Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, completing the main Daily Planet trio. First looks at these characters can be expected in Superman"s trailer, as can the official reveal of Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Alongside Superman in the film are other heroes, from Isabela Merced"s Hawkgirl to Nathan Fillion"s Guy Gardner and Edi Gathegi"s Mr. Terrific. Overall, a lot can be expected from Superman"s teaser trailer, but what matters most is Gunn imbuing the trailer with the notions of truth, justice, and the American way on December 19.
