The anticipation for James Gunn’sSupermanis high , and now that theDC Universemovie has broken a majorMan of Steelrecord , it has a large shot at being a box place strike . After starting with the animatedCreature Commandosseries , which feature a Superman cameo , the DCU will see its first film in 2025 , asJames Gunn ’s Superman moviebrings David Corenswet ’s Clark Kent , Nicholas Hoult ’s Lex Luthor , Rachel Brosnahan ’s Lois Lane , and more classic DCcharacters into the DCU canon . Superman has a long history in live - action , which the DCU picture will honor .
After a darker take on the character in the DCEU , Gunn’sSupermanis all about bringing promise back to the character , much like Christopher Reeve ’s iconic Man of Steel . The latestactor to play Clark Kenton the swelled CRT screen was Henry Cavill . WhileI was a devotee of Cavill ’s casting as Superman , I do n’t think the DCEU did aright by him , both story - knowing and in terms of leave him with no appearances for class . Still , I thoughtMan of Steel , his Superman first appearance , had a batch of positive degree , and Gunn’sSupermanbreaking the flick ’s impressive record book has me emotional .
James Gunn’s Superman Movie Has Broken A Major Record
The DCU Film Surpasses Henry Cavill’s Man Of Steel In A Huge Way
I love everything about the first DCU Superman movie trailer . After having gone a farsighted time with only set photos and videos to go by , actually seeing what Gunn ’s sight for the Man of Steel and other DC theatrical role looks like was grotesque . The Superman picture show trailer faced an overpoweringly positively charged reception , which was a smashing sign for DC Studios . Months before the movie ’s release , the DCU film is already breaking huge records . First , Superman ’s house trailer became DC / Warner Bros. ' most viewed ever thanks to its250 million views and over 1 million social stake in 24 hour .
That was already massive , and the DCU movie has now discontinue a Superman trailer record , beating Henry Cavill’sMan of Steel . On YouTube , Gunn ’s Superman moving picture trailer has 51.3 million views , against 51.1 million for Henry Cavill’sMan of Steel . The craziest part about this stat is thatMan of Steelhad 11 years to amass these numbers , while David Corenswet ’s Superman pic managed to do so in less than a calendar month . With that disparity piddle the DCU film the most - see Superman solo house trailer of all clock time , I thinkSupermancan topMan of Steel ’s $ 670.1 million box spot sum .
Superman’s Trailer Record Reminds Me Of Deadpool & Wolverine And I Love It
After a few years of the MCU releasing a mix of great and disappointing projects , I was hopingDeadpool & Wolverinewould be every bit as good as it sounded . Marvel Studios knocked it out of the park when it come to increasing anticipation for the motion-picture show . Deadpool & Wolverine ’s trailers did not bring out all the surprisal the celluloid had in store , but they showed enough to make it look exciting and , in doing so , broke major phonograph record . With 365 million views in 24 hours , Deadpool & Wolverine ’s first trailer became the most - see moving-picture show lagger of all prison term .
Between novel MCU / DCU motion-picture show & series , the start of film on anticipated projects , casting news , and more , 2025 will be a major year for superheroes .
The massive telephone number of views would translate into a historical box power run for the MCU pic . Deadpool & Wolverineis now the highest - grossing R - rated flick of all time . The anticipation built for the picture show with its trailers lead to$1.3 billion at the worldwide box office , withDeadpool & Wolverinebeing the first Marvel moving-picture show to pass the desired $ 1 billion mark since 2021’sSpider - military personnel : No Way rest home . While Gunn ’s Superman picture show house trailer had 115 million few view thanDeadpool & Wolverine , its status within DC account make me believe the movie can reprise Marvel ’s recent loge office winner .
