‘Superman’ First Teaser Trailer Introduces David Corenswet as the Man of Steel

A lot is riding on Superman‘s success so the teaser trailer needs to land well with fans. Based on comments on DC’s YouTube page, it seems to have hit most of the right notes.

The teaser trailer opens with Superman gasping for breath, bloody and calling for help from his trusty dog Krypto. The two-minute trailer has only a couple of lines of dialogue and instead teases us with very brief snippets of all the key characters.

David Corenswet (Twisters) stars as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) plays Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult (Nosferatu) is Lex Luthor. Edi Gathegi (For All Mankind) plays Mr. Terrific, Isabela Merced (Alien Romulus) is Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) is Guy Gardner / Green Lantern, Skyler Gisondo (Licorice Pizza) is Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio (At Midnight) is Eve Teschmacher, María Gabriela de Faría (The Moodys) is Angela Spica / The Engineer, and Wendell Pierce (Selma) is Perry White. Anthony Carrigan (Barry), Alan Tudyk (Resident Alien), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Bird Box), and Neva Howell (Greedy People) also star.
