Set in autumn 1943, the teaser opens with the crew of a Tiger tank sent far behind enemy lines under enigmatic orders. Fueled by methamphetamine, their journey spirals into moral decay and existential dread.

Amid the iconic glow of Sardi’s bar, Hart battles despair while colleagues celebrate. Scenes shine a light on his internal collapse—shaved head, diminished stature, and emotional unraveling, as he drinks and rants to sympathetic bystanders. Intercut with archival-style reflections on his life and work (“Blue Moon,” “My Funny Valentine”) the visuals emphasize theatrical ruins, moments of regret, and sudden intimacy. The tone is both elegiac and lyrical, inviting empathy for a creative soul slipping away.

The opening minutes of Superman (2025) reveal a grounded, emotionally resonant Clark Kent—establishing the film’s heart before it takes flight.
The first official clip from Superman (2025) has arrived, offering fans their initial full-scene glimpse into James Gunn’s highly anticipated DC Universe reboot. The clip, which features David Corenswet as Clark Kent, is a quiet, contemplative moment—marking a tonal shift from previous Superman films. Set in Smallville, the scene opens with Clark walking alone through the golden Kansas fields before heading into Metropolis, newspaper in hand.
Rather than starting with a superpowered spectacle, Gunn chooses restraint, leaning into warmth, nostalgia, and Americana. With gentle lens flares, slow dolly shots, and natural light, the cinematography underscores the story’s emotional weight. Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is teased through a voiceover at the Daily Planet, while John Murphy’s subtle score gives the moment a mythic resonance without overwhelming the human element.
This is Superman as Gunn promised—noble, introspective, and rooted in identity rather than invincibility. If the opening scene is any indication, Superman (2025) may succeed in marrying the emotional clarity of Man of Steel with the sincerity and optimism fans have long hoped to see restored.
The new featurette for Superman (2025) showcases how James Gunn’s reboot was crafted with IMAX in mind—promising a superhero epic shot for the biggest screen possible.
Warner Bros. has released a behind-the-scenes look at Superman (2025) titled “Filmed for IMAX®,” giving fans their most immersive peek yet at the scale and ambition behind James Gunn’s DC Universe relaunch. Designed to be experienced in full IMAX 1.90:1 aspect ratio, the footage features sweeping set pieces, towering practical builds, and first glimpses of Superman in flight across expansive American landscapes.
Director James Gunn narrates portions of the video, underscoring his commitment to grounding the film’s spectacle in emotion and character. “We didn’t just want the action to be big,” Gunn says, “we wanted it to feel big—to mean something.” The featurette includes production shots of David Corenswet suited up as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hinting at the dynamic interplay between hero, journalist, and villain that defines the heart of the film.
The IMAX footage emphasizes natural lighting, large-scale sets, and vivid contrast between Clark Kent’s Kansas roots and the grandeur of his Kryptonian heritage. From cornfields to craters, and newsroom interiors to planetary transmissions, every detail feels constructed to immerse audiences in both myth and intimacy.
The clip ends with Gunn and the crew watching playback on towering IMAX monitors, visibly proud of the visual depth they’re delivering. It’s clear Superman is not just a film—it’s an event calibrated for maximum theatrical impact.
A haunting new clip from Superman (2025) delves into the mythic scale of Kal-El’s origin, teasing the emotional weight of his destiny.
In the latest official clip from James Gunn’s Superman, titled “Knowledge Is Worth Many Sacrifices,” the film pivots away from the grounded realism of its previous teasers to explore Krypton’s haunting legacy. Through a holographic message or recovered memory, Kal-El (David Corenswet) receives a solemn transmission from a Kryptonian elder—likely Jor-El—delivering a poetic warning about sacrifice, heritage, and the cost of wisdom.
Visually drenched in solemn light and alien iconography, the clip leans into the grandeur of Superman’s origins, contrasting the emotional intimacy of Clark Kent’s Earth-bound life with the epic magnitude of his galactic lineage. Corenswet’s silent performance—anchored in awe and grief—emphasizes the film’s dual emotional register: intimate character drama and mythological sci-fi.
As composer John Murphy’s score swells beneath the narration, the scene echoes the classic tones of Man of Steel and Superman: The Movie, while signaling a more philosophical and emotionally complex approach to the Superman mythos. It’s a stirring look at what’s shaping up to be a deeply personal yet universally resonant superhero epic.
James Gunn’s Superman continues to tease its character-driven core with a tense, grounded exchange from the latest official clip.
A new clip from Superman (2025), titled “Keep An Eye On Him,” has been released, offering a sharp, dialogue-heavy moment that underscores the film’s tonal balance between human stakes and heroic mythology. The scene centers on Clark Kent (David Corenswet) navigating his dual identity while under the wary gaze of law enforcement and federal authorities—hinting at larger tensions between Superman and the institutions meant to protect the world.
Set in a drab government corridor, the clip favors subtle tension over spectacle. Characters exchange loaded glances and clipped dialogue, suggesting that Superman’s arrival hasn’t unified the world—it’s split it. Corenswet’s performance exudes quiet intensity, reinforcing James Gunn’s commitment to portraying Kal-El as both alien and painfully human.
This brief but effective scene continues to support what early looks have promised: a Superman story that blends idealism with realism, and action with internal conflict. With its July 2025 release date drawing closer, anticipation is soaring for the first chapter in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe.
Marvel Studios offers a grounded and intimate preview of its highly anticipated reboot with a quiet family moment around the dinner table.
Marvel Studios has released the first official clip from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering fans an unexpected look into the emotional core of the upcoming reboot. Titled “Sunday Dinner,” the scene finds the newly formed team—Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)—sharing a rare moment of calm amid the chaos of their evolving powers and responsibilities.
Set against the backdrop of a quiet evening in the Baxter Building, the clip is more intimate than action-packed, centering on familial chemistry and subtle character beats. Pascal’s Reed anchors the scene with contemplative authority, while Kirby’s Sue provides warmth and resolve. Johnny’s irreverence and Ben’s dry wit round out the dynamic, reminding viewers that this isn’t just a superhero squad—it’s a makeshift family learning to navigate their new reality.
The subdued tone suggests director Matt Shakman (WandaVision) is leaning into emotional storytelling and character development, promising a version of the Fantastic Four that prioritizes interpersonal stakes alongside cosmic spectacle. The film hits theaters July 25, with expectations sky-high for this long-awaited MCU entry.
Mike Flanagan adapts Stephen King’s experimental novella with surprising warmth in this first official scene.
From acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) comes an emotional new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill. This official clip offers a first look at the film’s unconventional tone—far from typical King terror, the story unfolds in reverse chronology, beginning with Chuck’s death and tracing his life back through moments of joy, mystery, and loss. The scene, set in an eerie yet oddly tender world, showcases Flanagan’s ability to infuse metaphysical themes with human intimacy.
The adaptation stitches together three seemingly disparate vignettes that eventually coalesce into a portrait of life, death, and cosmic significance. With evocative cinematography, melancholic undertones, and performances that straddle surrealism and sincerity, this clip gives audiences an early taste of a film that promises to be one of the most ambitious King adaptations to date.

Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal lead Ari Aster’s politically charged pandemic Western in this haunting first look.
A24 unveils the first official footage from Eddington, Ari Aster’s genre-defying new film set at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Set in the arid isolation of New Mexico, the story centers on Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), a measured enforcer of public health mandates, and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), a defiant populist whose rhetoric fractures the already tense town. Emma Stone plays Louise Cross, Joe’s conflicted wife, while Austin Butler delivers a chilling performance as cult leader Vernon Jefferson Peak, injecting spiritual extremism into an already divided community. With cinematography by Darius Khondji and a score by Bobby Krlic and Daniel Pemberton, Eddingtoncaptures the paranoia, power plays, and moral erosion of a nation in crisis.

An early look at One Battle After Another teases Paul Thomas Anderson’s return to character-driven drama, with Leonardo DiCaprio anchoring a tense and intimate scene titled “Baby.”
The first official clip from Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has arrived. Titled “Baby,” the scene offers a restrained but emotionally loaded moment featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in what may be one of his most vulnerable performances to date.
Set in the American heartland during an unspecified postwar period, One Battle After Another appears to be a meditation on generational trauma, masculinity, and the silent wars waged within domestic spaces. The clip showcases Anderson’s signature stillness and emotional geometry—long takes, lingering silences, and dialogue that hints at a deeper rupture beneath the surface. DiCaprio’s character remains unreadable yet exposed, as Anderson captures a man circling a confrontation he’s not ready to have.
Shot on 35mm with the director’s frequent collaborators behind the camera, “Baby” suggests the film’s power lies not in spectacle but in emotional precision. With Anderson returning to stripped-down storytelling, One Battle After Another is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated auteur-driven dramas.
