The trailer for DC’s new Superman film has broken a huge record even though it has only been two days since its release. The new Superman film, directed and written by James Gunn, has become the most watched trailer in Warner Bros. and DC history. Gunn announced on his Twitter account that the trailer was viewed more than 250 million times on its first day and received more than 1 million social media shares.
Superman trailer broke the record!
The success of the new trailer signals a huge comeback for Superman. Not counting the Snyder Cut released in 2021, the last time Superman starred in a DC film was 2017’s Justice League.
In the intervening years, speculation about Henry Cavill’s return and the disappointment that followed raised expectations for a new Superman film. Now, this production starring David Corenswet will be released on 11 July 2025.
If we compare the trailer success with other films, Joker: Folie à Deux trailer received 167 million views in 24 hours, and Inside Out 2 made a big debut with 157 million views last November. However, the record of these films belonged to the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, which peaked with 365 million views in February.
The music used in the trailer of the new DC film was also very appreciated. Warner Bros. released this music used in the trailer as a single track. The world is holding its breath to see what effect the film will have. Let’s see if Superman can bring a breath of fresh air to the cinematic universe.
