Warner Bros.’ rebooted DC Cinematic Universe has finally taken flight with the release of the official trailer of its highly anticipated summer movie, Superman. Released on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the new trailer offers a new look at the titular DC Comics character’s struggles with his powers.
Written and directed by DC Studios co-head James Gunn, the new trailer gives fans a bit more insight into the life of Man of Steel, aka Clark Kent, who is seen getting interviewed by Lois Lane for single-handedly stopping a war.
The 2-minute and 59-second trailer also shows the movie's villains: Lex Luthor, Engineer, Ultraman, and the Hammer of Boravia.
Trending
After Warner Bros. debuted the official trailer across social media, critics and netizens alike rushed to share their views, both good and bad. One such reaction came in from American conservative political commentator Benjamin Aaron Shapiro.
On May 16, 2025, the media personality shared a video reaction to the new trailer of James Gunn’s DC reboot movie on the social media platform X. Captioning the trailer “is a mess,” Ben Shapiro said:
“This movie looks like a mess just from the outside. There are too many elements. It’s hard to see how all of it’s going to sort of fit in.”
Ben Shapiro says David Corenswet’s Superman is “fine”
Ben Shapiro, while reviewing the trailer of the first film of the rebooted DC Cinematic Universe, also commented on the lead actor, David Corenswet, playing the DC Comics hero. On May 16, 2025, the media personality shared a video in which he is seen playing the trailer and admitting, “There are parts of this that I like and there are parts of this that I don’t like.”
Commenting on the 31-year-old American actor who has taken the cape of the DC superhero from Henry Cavill, Ben Shapiro added:
“David Corenswet, who’s playing Superman, is the part that I actually think he looks like he’ll be a fine Superman.”
Ben Shapiro also compared the upcoming movie to the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and further commented:
“They’re positing the same question, which is, Superman is a free agent, so what are the limits on his power?”
