The highly anticipated trailer for James Gunn's fresh take on "Superman" made its debut on Thursday morning, introducing us to a new Man of Steel portrayed by David Corenswet, alongside captivating performances from Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the notorious Lex Luthor. This marks a significant shift in the DC universe, promising an interconnected experience we've never seen on the big screen before.

David Corenswet expressed his excitement in a chat with Variety, stating that seeing the trailer come to life after a year and a half of hard work was "the best thing ever." He shared a humorous take on how he copes with the experience, saying, "I just disassociate... It’s not me up there. It’s Superman. It’s Clark Kent." His dedication reflects a larger commitment to not only embody Superman but to be a part of a broader narrative woven throughout the new DC Universe.

Gunn and his co-chief Peter Safran announced earlier this year that their initiative aims to reboot the DC Universe as a cohesive narrative, threading together nearly 90 years of characters and stories from the comic books. The animated series “Creature Commandos,” currently streaming on Max, serves as a preliminary taste of what's to come in this exciting new landscape before we dive into the central plot of "Superman."

What sets this revival apart is the expansive world it introduces. This time, Superman will share the screen with many iconic and lesser-known DC characters, creating an ensemble that even fans of earlier superhero films would find exhilarating. Picture it: Superman soaring through the skies alongside Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Blue Beetle, perhaps even echoing the ensemble advancements made by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As we start picking apart the newly released trailer, eagle-eyed fans have already begun to notice a plethora of Easter eggs and nods to DC lore. Here’s a list of 17 intriguing characters and hidden gems tucked away in the trailer, from Superman's loyal canine companion, Krypto, to the mysterious Stagg Industries.
