Superman: Theatre-only final trailer version leaked online ahead of release

A theatre-only version of the recently released final trailer of James Gunn's Superman has leaked online, featuring never-before-seen footage. While many clips are the same as the officially released trailer, this version includes footage of Jimmy Olsen, Superman scolding Krypto, and a few shots of him saving innocent civilians.

Record-breaking advance bookings

The movie recently became the best first-day advance ticket seller of 2025 on Fandango, beating out the MCU's Fantastic Four: First Steps. What helped Superman reach the top was Amazon offering its Prime members the chance to watch the movie three days before the rest of the world.

What is Superman about?

The movie will focus on the Man of Steel's third year in Metropolis as he tries to balance his life as reporter Clark Kent and Superman. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

The official synopsis of the movie reads: "In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC Universe with a singular blend of epic action, humour and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

The DCU lineup

Additionally, the movie will introduce several other DC heroes, including Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, and Mister Terrific. The supporting cast includes Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela De Faría, Wendell Pierce, and Alan Tudyk.

Early box office projections for the film suggest it will have a strong opening weekend, with estimates ranging between $154–175 million from the US markets. If the movie can pull this off, it would mark the best opening for a Superman film ever.

Superman is set to premiere in cinemas worldwide on 11 July 2025.
