DC and Warner Bros. have wisely chosen to release the newest Superman movie sneak peek to the public online rather than letting us all suffer through low-res video captures from the showings before Minecraft. The film, which stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult as Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, respectively, comes out on July 11, 2025 and is directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy).

The sneak peek gives us an extended look at Krypto bringing Superman to the Fortress where he is tended to by his robot friends (Kelex x 12?) We also get to see the Daily Planet, Lex, some Superman and Lois moments which are always nice, and more. Check it out below:
