Superman (2025): Trailer Talk

Ever since James Gunn took over as co-CEO of DC Studios in 2022, an adaptation of ‘Superman’ was spoken of early on. And, seven years after the ‘Justice League’ movie, the first trailer for the next film on the Caped Crusader is here.

‘Superman’ tells the origin story of the famous DC Comics superhero as he crash-lands onto Earth and lives amongst the human race, protecting them in their time of need.

After the fantastic ‘The Suicide Squad’ from 2021, it’ll be interesting to see Gunn turn his sights on the Caped Crusader especially since he’s both writing and directing the film. Visually, it looks incredible and colourful, but the tone is occasionally sincere; an example of this is the introduction to Krypto the Superdog in his first ever live action appearance. The introduction isn’t played for humour and actually takes place during Superman’s time of need. The moment could’ve easily have been portrayed in a humorous way, but I really appreciate that it doesn’t. 

The trailer relies mostly on music instead of being dialogue-heavy which works really well and helps in creating a memorable trailer. Furthermore, the score and Superman costume do a fantastic job at recreating the nostalgia of the original Christopher Reeves films. The trailer’s score is the original film theme, and the costume reflects that of the original films. While this could be seen as pandering to nostalgia, it all blends in beautifully and looks and sounds incredible.

My only concern is whether ‘Superman’ would be doing too much in terms of its plot: from the trailer, it appears to be telling viewers Clark Kent’s origin story, his relationship with Lois Lane, facing off against Lex Luther (Nicholas Hoult – Mad Max: Fury Road, Nosferatu) as well as an encounter with a monster. On one hand, it looks like it’s going to be containing a lot of plots but, on the other hand, James Gunn has proven that he can deliver well-crafted films over and over. So, this is something that will be answered next year.

2024 has been an incredible year for movies and TV shows, whether we were respecting the balance with ‘The Substance’, defying gravity in ‘Wicked’ or travelling back in time with ‘Shogun’. And 2025 is looking just as incredible. But, for the time being, this article marks the last Trailer Talk article of 2024 and will return from the 6^th of January 2025.

Video reviews on ‘Battle Royale With Cheese’ Youtube channel will end on the 28^th December and return the same week as Trailer Talk. But, for now, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas/holiday and I look forward to returning in the new year.
