Production on “Superman: Legacy” will kick off this March in Atlanta. Filming is scheduled for four months, meaning it will likely wrap up in July. This initial schedule doesn’t account for reshoots, which are the norm for big-budget studio blockbusters. To get ahead of set photo leaks, DC and Gunn could debut official images of David Corensweet in his Superman costume around the time filming commences. The same is possible for Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane.
When can fans expect a teaser or trailer for “Superman: Legacy”? That’s best left to speculation, but it should be acknowledged that the superhero pic is over a year away. With a July 2025 release date, Gunn has plenty of time to create a daring first look that compels audiences. While Gunn has dismissed the possibility of a trailer coming this year, some footage may be released by the fall or winter.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ late 2024 theatrical slate is stacked, and the studio has plenty of opportunities to showcase its upcoming crown jewel. “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the sequel to the billion-dollar grossing Joaquin Phoenix vehicle, is set to grace cinemas in early October 2024. What better way to promote “Superman: Legacy” than to attach the trailer to another DC project? And if Warner Bros. needs more time, it can always drop a trailer alongside the release of the animated “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” which is currently slated for a December 2024 release.
