There\u2019s a lot to unpack in the two-minute spot \u2014 so let\u2019s unpack it. Here\u2019s a breakdown of everything teased ahead of the July 2025 release, to make sure you didn\u2019t mistake any birds or planes for Superman.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Super beaten<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The trailer opens boldly for a superhero movie: Its lead apparently just had his butt kicked. Is this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/21536628\/best-superman-comics\">an <em>All-Star Superman<\/em> thing<\/a> where he\u2019s becoming more vulnerable? Or has he gone up against a truly gnarly foe? We know Gunn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/james-gunn-is-giving-up-everything-in-my-life-and-soul-to-make-superman\">loves<\/a> <em>All-Star Superman<\/em> (and is right to do so).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Krypto the Superdog<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Fortunately, Superman\u2019s best friend is around to lend a paw. Krypto the Superdog has been a recurring addition to Superman continuity ever since writer Otto Binder and artist Curt Swan introduced him in 1955\u2019s <em>Adventure Comics<\/em> #210. He\u2019s a dog from the planet Krypton, who, like all Kryptonians, gains awesome powers \u2014 like flight and super strength \u2014 when exposed to the light of a yellow star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">How did an animal <em>exactly<\/em> like Earth dogs evolve on Krypton? How did Krypto survive the destruction of Superman\u2019s home planet? Comics creators have come up with various and sundry explanations for this over Krypto\u2019s 70 years of editorial existence, so let this comics expert sum it up for you: Don\u2019t worry about it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Superman has a dog with laser vision. It\u2019s fun. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forget Lexcorp<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While Lex Luthor\u2019s conglomerate (I\u2019d say \u201cevil conglomerate,\u201d but that\u2019d be redundant) is classically known as Lexcorp, it\u2019s occasionally gone by other names, like LexCo, Lex-Corp, L-Corp, and even Supercorp (because Lex likes doing things just because it\u2019ll piss Superman off). <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For his <em>Superman<\/em>, Jame Gunn appears to have gone with the dark horse choice of \u201cLuthorcorp,\u201d most prominently used in the <em>Smallville<\/em> TV series.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Luthor, Lex Luthor<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When there\u2019s a bald guy in a suit in a Superman comic, there\u2019s only one guy he could be. Here\u2019s Nicholas Hoult (<em>Nosferatu<\/em>) as Lex Luthor as Agent 47 from Hitman.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stagg Industries<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are a lot of ethically compromised billionaires running technology companies in the DC Universe \u2014 ha ha, so superhero-y, so far-fetched, ha ha \u2014 and here\u2019s our indication that at least one of them exists in the new DC Films universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Stagg Industries is the company of the unscrupulous CEO Simon Stagg. Stagg may not appear \u2014 he\u2019s not on <em>Superman<\/em>\u2019s officially announced cast list. But he is the nemesis (and prospective father-in-law; it\u2019s complicated) of the superhero Metamorpho (more on him later). With Metamorpho also appearing in <em>Superman<\/em>, it makes sense that Stagg Industries would be present in the setting, whether or not the company plays a significant role.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That bowl cut is how you know a Green Lantern lives without fear<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nathan Fillion plays the Green Lantern Guy Gardner in <em>Superman<\/em>, and his haircut is both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23569816\/batman-best-punch\">completely comics-accurate and completely awful<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thanagar\u2019s finest<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Also rounding out the supporting superheroic cast is Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl. There are a lot of different versions of Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman in DC Comics history, but let\u2019s see if this comics expert can narrow it down: She\u2019s either a perpetually reincarnating warrior who retains the memories of all her past lives, or she\u2019s a cop from a planet of bird people. We\u2019ll find out!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heck yeah, a kaiju<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A rampaging giant monster seems bad for Metropolis, but great for moviegoers. And an eagle-eyed Polygon writer raised a good question: Could this be Jimmy Olsen? <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I know that sounds ridiculous, but that beast has strangely human eyes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2019\/9\/23\/20879780\/supermans-pal-jimmy-olsen-death-x-men-wolverine-best-new-comics\">stuff like this<\/a> happened to Jimmy Olsen <a href=\"https:\/\/dc.fandom.com\/wiki\/Superman%27s_Pal,_Jimmy_Olsen_Vol_1_53\">all the time in the Silver Age<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That seems fine<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We\u2019ve seen this ball of energy before, hovering in the background of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24150323\/superman-costume-james-gunn-david-corenswet-underwear\">the first photo Gunn revealed of David Corenswet\u2019s Superman costume<\/a>. There\u2019s no telling what it is, what it\u2019s doing, or who created it, but purple and green are classic Lex Luthor colors, just saying\u2026<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RIP to this robot<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Often, as a comics fan, you have the slightly out-of-body experience of seeing a thing that makes total sense to you, and knowing that it looks bananas from the outside. \u201cSuperman cradling a robot with no legs while deep in grief\u201d is one of those things. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Judging by the bright crystal environment here, we\u2019re in his Fortress of Solitude, and judging by Superman\u2019s apparent deep distress over whatever has befallen this robot, it\u2019s probably Kelex. Created by John Byrne for 1986\u2019s <em>Man of Steel <\/em>#1, Kelex is a robot that used to belong to Superman\u2019s Kryptonian family, and often serves as a caretaker of the Fortress. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Rex Mason aka Metamorpho<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This rocky-exterior man is Rex Mason, the shape-shifting superhero known as Metamorpho, played by Anthony Carrigan (<em>Barry<\/em>). Due to some shenanigans on the part of Simon Stagg (see Stagg Industries, above), Rex Mason has the power to turn himself \u2014&nbsp;or even just <em>parts<\/em> of himself \u2014 into any element or chemical compound, stretching, bouncing, dissipating into gas, or making his mass dense enough to survive and dish out mighty blows. The catch is that he simply does not look like a human being anymore.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boravia<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Not much to say here, except to acknowledge that Boravia is one of an innumerable number of made-up European countries that have graced the pages of DC Comics over the setting\u2019s nearly nine decades of history, and in <em>Superman<\/em>, things there are getting tense.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our mysterious villain<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The trailer sneaks in a couple shots of <em>Superman<\/em>\u2019s mystery villain, seen here battling it out in the empty baseball stadium of the Metropolis Meteors. The identity of this character has been all but totally spoiled by paparazzi snapping set photos, so Google carefully! (If you <em>really<\/em> want to know who this seems to be, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ultraman_(DC_Comics)\">click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The third-smartest man alive<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Here, we get our first look at Michael Holt, the adventuring supergenius known as Mister Terrific, and his characteristic T-spheres, projecting that nifty shield. For more on him, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/movies\/499530\/mister-terrific-superman-james-gunn-powers-origin\">we have a whole article<\/a> \u2014 Gunn has repeatedly said that Terrific has a \u201cbig part\u201d in his <em>Superman<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just a couple of star reporters<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/breaking-down-the-superman-trailer-from-heroes-to-villains-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The trailer rounds itself out with some classically framed shots of the real beating heart of Superman stories \u2014 Superman and Lois Lane. The greatest superhero stories rest on a combination of monsters, superheroes, and romance, but we\u2019ll have to wait until July to find out how Gunn is mixing those themes together for <em>Superman<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/movies\/499615\/superman-2025-trailer-breakdown-metamorpho-krypto-green-lantern\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) is in charge of DC\u2019s film\/TV universe now, and his direction is immediately clear: earnest, colorful, and super comic book-y.
