The Man of Steel made an appearance during the NFL conference championship games on Sunday, January 26, 2025. No, Clark Kent wasn’t on the football field, he was flying through a new TV spot during the games.

The 30-second TV trailer features a good bit of footage from the first teaser trailer, but there are a few new shots. The “Icon” spot shows Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) disembarking from a plane in a snowy climate and Superman (David Corenswet) flying directly toward the camera, over a snow-covered landscape.

Directed by James Gunn, Superman is the first movie in Gunn and Peter Safran’s “Gods and Monsters” film series. It is set at a time when Superman is already operating as superhero in Metropolis and Clark is a reporter for the Daily Planet.

The movie also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica/the Engineer, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorphosis, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Neva Howel as Martha Kent, and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent.

Superman will arrive in theaters on July 11, 2025.
