The highly anticipated trailer for James Gunn's "Superman" made its debut on Thursday morning, introducing us to a fresh take on the Man of Steel as portrayed by David Corenswet. Alongside him, we get our first glimpse of Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan, and the formidable Lex Luthor, brought to life by Nicholas Hoult.

In a recent interview with Variety, Corenswet expressed his excitement about finally unveiling the extensive work he’s been involved in for over a year and a half. He called it “the best thing ever” but noted the unique experience of separating himself from the character while watching it on screen. "I just disassociate," he commented. "It’s not me up there. It’s Superman. It’s Clark Kent. What’s cool is seeing all your friends up there."

Speaking of friends, the trailer hints at a vast universe that Gunn and co-chair of DC Studios, Peter Safran, are crafting. Their initiative is not just a reboot of Superman but an entire revamp of the DC Universe, aiming to intertwine nearly 90 years of rich comic book lore into this new cinematic journey. The animated series "Creature Commandos," currently streaming on Max, has been described as a "soft intro" to this expansive universe, setting the stage for "Superman" as its centerpiece.

For the first time, the "Superman" movie franchise is taking a leap into a shared cinematic universe featuring a myriad of metahumans and superheroes. Picture this: Christopher Reeve's iconic Superman soaring through the skies alongside Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and even the newly introduced Blue Beetle! This multi-character approach is a departure from previous adaptations, where the focus was usually on one superhero storyline at a time. Thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, audiences are now primed for movies that feature numerous superheroes interacting on-screen.

The excitement ramps up as the trailer showcases a plethora of DC characters and Easter eggs, beckoning fans to discover every hidden detail woven into the visuals. Here are 17 characters and Easter eggs that make brief appearances in the trailer—from Superman’s loyal canine companion, Krypto, to references to Stagg Industries.

As we eagerly await the film's release, fans are left buzzing with anticipation—will this new "Superman" redefine the superhero genre once more? Hold onto your capes, because this film is set to uncover a world of heroes and stories that have yet to be told!
