The first trailer for James Gunn’s Superman has been roundly panned by fans of Henry Cavill.Gunn confirmed in December 2022 that the longtime Superman actor would not be involved in his vision of the DC Universe.

Gunn said at the time: “In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.”David Corenswet stars in the titular role in the director’s forthcoming reboot, which is set for release on July 11, 2025.While many fans praised the recent trailer, which also features fan-favourite character Krypto the Superdog, many have expressed disappointment that the reboot appears to be a step back for the franchise.One wrote: “Ridiculous, the way they are starting the whole story over makes me angry.

Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder should’ve kept the story going. And I hate the Superman suit, it’s ugly!” Another added: “By far one of the worse things I’ve ever seen as a trailer or concept.

Imagine going from Henry Cavill, directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan, music by Hans Zimmer, to this… unserious shazamish looking superman.
