James Gunn Celebrates ‘Superman’ Trailer as the Most Viewed in DC and Warner Bros. History

As a lifelong fan of superheroes and someone who has spent countless hours dissecting trailers for upcoming films, I must admit that the trailer for Superman: Legacy has left me utterly spellbound. With over 250 million views and a million social media mentions, it’s safe to say that James Gunn has struck gold with this one.

James Gunn, who shares leadership at DC Studios and is responsible for directing Superman: Legacy, is thrilled about the incredible response to the film’s debut trailer, unveiled on December 19th. The teaser has garnered over a staggering 250 million views and a million mentions across various social media platforms, establishing a new benchmark for both DC and Warner Bros. in terms of trailer viewership and online chatter.

To X (previously known as Twitter), Gunn expresses gratitude towards fans for their excitement, stating “Krypto truly led us home”. With over 250 million views and a million social media posts, the Superman trailer is now the most watched and discussed one in the history of both DC and Warner Bros. This achievement is all thanks to you: thank you! We are beyond grateful and, above all, excited to present this movie to you in July. Have a wonderful holiday season!

The upcoming movie, set to premiere on July 11, 2025, features David Corenswet in the role of Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying Lois Lane. Additionally, the star-studded cast includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, María Gabriela de Faría, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabel Merced.

In reference to the film’s core messages, director Gunn once characterized it as a story that explores themes of kindness and goodness, reflecting his conviction in human nature’s inherent goodness. He also underscored the movie’s distinctive style, citing influences from Top Gun: Maverick, the DC animated universe, and All-Star Superman comic series. Gunn’s creative method combines a Silver Age, sci-fi atmosphere with a fresh take on Lex Luthor as a scientifically powerful “sorcerer.

Despite completing the main filming in July, director Gunn has disclosed his return to set for “additional shots” aimed at improving the movie. He was quick to clarify that these weren’t reshoots.

The upcoming film “Superman: Legacy” is creating quite a stir with its high-traffic trailers and an impressive lineup of actors, making it one of the most eagerly awaited movies in 2025. Fans are excited to see how director Gunn’s perspective will reshape the legendary superhero for modern times, thereby securing its significance in DC film lore.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my thoughts on Jesse Eisenberg’s revelation about his experience starring in Batman v Superman. In his own words, he candidly admitted, “It’s somewhat embarrassing to say, but I genuinely think that playing Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman has had a negative impact on my career.” As fellow fans, let’s appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in his confession, and continue supporting him through his future roles.
