As a seasoned moviegoer with decades of comic book cinema under my belt, I must admit that the recent 250 million view milestone achieved by the Superman trailer is nothing short of impressive. Yet, as a long-time Marvel fan, I can’t help but notice the stark contrast between DC and Marvel trailers in terms of viewership.
Just recently, the first trailer for The Suicide Squad reached a remarkable milestone by amassing an astounding 250 million views across various platforms. This has propelled it to become the most-watched DC and Warner Bros. trailer of all time, indicating that James Gunn’s initial film for the new DCU is likely to garner significant interest when it releases next summer. Nevertheless, despite the impressive number of views, it remains a fact that, for reasons unknown, trailers for Marvel Studios’ movies continue to outshine those from DC in terms of popularity.
It’s undeniably true that the upcoming Superman movie is likely to be one of the most significant films for Warner Bros. Discovery and their freshly created DC Studios division over the past two decades. The film represents a fresh approach to the comic book series, following the underwhelming conclusion of the DCEU, as Superman promises a unique portrayal of Superman unlike Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. This new take on the character is bound to generate interest among Snyder fans, who will undoubtedly make comparisons with Henry Cavill. However, it remains to be seen how James Gunn’s multifaceted and hero-packed universe will offer a fresh perspective to the superhero genre, which is precisely what the DCU needs in order to launch strongly next year.
As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Krypto truly led us home! With an astounding 250 million views and a million social posts, the ‘Superman’ trailer has officially become the most-watched and talked-about in both DC and Warner Bros history. This achievement is all thanks to you, and we can’t thank you enough! We’re overwhelmed with gratitude and, above all, eager to unveil this movie to you in July. Wishing you a joyful holiday season!
James Gunn’s DCU Has a Great Start But Proves an Undeniable Truth
The sensational trailer of Superman, directed by Gunn, serves as an optimistic indicator that he’s on the right path for the DCU to thrive. However, it also underscores the ongoing difference between DC’s peak performance and Marvel Studios’ grand epics. With over 250 million views (and climbing), it’s a remarkable feat, but it doesn’t surpass the view counts of trailers like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine, which exceeded 350 million views in their first day alone.
Nonetheless, evaluating their success is challenging compared to that of Superman, since both previews benefited from being aired during the Super Bowl. However, the Avengers: Endgame trailer, released in 2018, amassed 289 million views within 24 hours, indicating similar levels of anticipation as for the start of a new DC series.
Regardless of the comparisons, the staggering achievement of Superman hitting 250 million views is a major triumph for DC Studios. The true test lies ahead when the movie hits theaters on July 11. It’s then that we’ll discover if a man, and his canine companion, truly have the ability to take flight.
