Welcome to the Fortress of Solitude.
During Warner Bros. CinemaCon presentation, James Gunn shared a sneak peek of Superman, which has now been released online. The nearly five-minute video begins like the first teaser trailer, with a battered Superman (David Corenswet) begging Krypto the Dog to take him home. This time, fans get their first taste of the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman is greeted by a fleet of Kryptonian robots who use the sun to heal his injuries. Alan Tudyk is the voice of Robot 4.
The sneak peek also featured longer looks at Superman‘s ensemble, notably Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion).
Superman also stars Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.
Gunn writes and directs Superman, the first feature film in the new DC Universe. Gunn will produce with his co-CEO of DC Studios, Peter Safran. Executive producers include Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo, and Lars Winthe.
A lot is riding on Superman‘s success for the future of DC Studios and Warner Bros. Superman kicks off the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the shared universe that will connect the DC projects. After Superman, the next movie in the DCU is Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, with Milly Alcock playing Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is dated for June 26, 2026.
After Supergirl comes Clayface, a body horror movie about a B-level actor who injects himself with a substance that turns his body into clay, allowing him to reshape his face and form. James Watkins will direct from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan. Clayface opens in theaters on September 11, 2025.
Superman soars into theaters on July 11, 2025.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
