The most anticipated superhero movie of 2025 is James Gunn’s Superman. This movie must succeed for the rest of Gunn’s new DCU to take off. Obviously, it’s just a teaser, but the style, tone, and joy of the DC universe come through.

I have heard that Gunn was greatly inspired by Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman and Mark Waid’s Birthright. Both of these stories are precisely the right narratives to use to create a Superman for the 21st century.

Also, do you want random people to connect with the movie? Put Krypto, the super dog, in the first few moments of the trailer. Brilliant.
