Who's Who in James Gunn's New Superman Trailer

James Gunn’s Superman may ostensibly be about introducing moviegoers to a new version of the Man of Steel, but it’s also an ensemble superhero movie. Case in point - the new trailer is crammed full of familiar faces from the DC Universe, both good and evil. This movie is set in a world where Superman and his fellow heroes have already been active for a few years, and it takes full advantage of that fact.

We see plenty of DC heroes and villains in this footage, including David Corenswet's Superman, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho. And there are even some surprise inclusions like Krypto the Super-Dog and Kelex.

Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with every DC character in this early footage. We’re here to break down all the major players and what the trailer reveals about their respective roles in the first live-action DCU movie.

Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
