The Superman Movie trailer has racked up over 250 million views, according to James Gunn, a record.
The introduction of the new live-action DC Universe has had a stellar debut, according to James Gunn. On Friday, the director announced on his social media that the Superman teaser trailer has racked up over 250 million views on its first day. “Krypto really brought us home: with over 250 million views and one million social posts, Superman is officially the most viewed and talked about trailer in DC and Warner Bros. history,” Gunn wrote. “This is all thanks to you: thank you so much! We are incredibly grateful and, most of all, excited to share this film with you in July. Happy Holidays!”
The success of the Superman teaser has significantly surpassed the initial numbers of many other top titles this year. For example, the first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux had 167 million views in its first 24 hours, while Inside Out 2, the highest-grossing film of 2023 with $1.6 billion at the global box office, had reached 157 million views with its teaser. However, the all-time record for the launch of a trailer remains with the teaser for Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine, which had accumulated a whopping 365 million views.
The Superman teaser gave fans their first glimpse of David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, as well as introducing some of the other protagonists of the new DC Universe: Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Krypto the Superdog, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan). Additionally, the trailer teased the love story between Superman and Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan.
