DC fans, your patience might soon pay off! The much-anticipated first trailer for Superman: Legacy is in the works, and James Gunn just dropped a juicy update.
Since the announcement that Gunn and Peter Safran are rebooting the DC Universe, fans have been itching to catch their first glimpse of David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel. With filming wrapped earlier this summer, the countdown is on. But when exactly will the trailer drop?
Over the weekend, Gunn took to Threads to offer a teaser. When asked by a fan if the trailer was done, Gunn replied, “It’s not. I worked on it this weekend.”
Naturally, that single comment sparked a frenzy online, with fans bombarding him with questions. Some wanted to know if it’s a teaser or full trailer, others asked who’s scoring the music, and plenty begged Gunn not to reveal too much. “Don’t spoil the movie,” pleaded one fan, clearly fed up with trailers that give away half the plot.
So, when will we finally see the trailer? While no release date is confirmed, fans are already circling key dates. The Super Bowl, known for dropping blockbuster trailers, seems like the perfect opportunity. With a built-in massive audience, it’s the ideal spot for DC Studios to premiere Superman: Legacy—following in the footsteps of Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which dominated last year’s Super Bowl Sunday.
There’s also buzz about a possible reveal at CCXP in December. Gunn responded with a thinking emoji when asked about it, leaving fans to speculate. If the trailer does drop at the convention, there’s hope it will also hit the internet for everyone to see. Either way, the clock is ticking, and anticipation is only growing as fans gear up for the July 11, 2025 release date.
With Superman: Legacy poised to kick off a new era for DC, all eyes are on how Gunn will introduce his vision of the iconic hero.
What’s your best guess—will the Superman trailer drop during the Super Bowl, at CCXP, or some other time? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
