The first, full-length trailer for writer-director James Gunn‘s Superman has been released. Previously titled Superman: Legacy, the Warner Bros. feature stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

The new film focuses on the titular superhero, who made his way to Earth from the planet Krypton and grapples with his powers while blending in as Daily Planet journalist Clark Kent. The story follows his journey trying to reconcile his alien heritage with his human upbringing.

“It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness is old-fashioned,” Peter Safran stated previously.

The film co-stars Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion looking goofy in a blonde wig as Guy Gardner, and María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. And of course, there’s Krypto the dog!

This is the first film in Gunn and Safran’s rebooted DC Universe.

Superman releases in cinemas from July 11th. Watch the trailer below:
