James Gunn says the Superman teaser trailer has racked up over 250 million views since its release and broken a record in the process.
The highly anticipated teaser trailer for James Gunn’s Superman was released yesterday, and judging by how much it’s been watched and dissected in the last 24 hours, the new DCU is off to a good start. In fact, the teaser trailer broke a big record for Warner Bros. and DC as Gunn took to social media to announce that it has been viewed over 250 million times.
“Krypto really did take us home: With over 250 million views and a million social posts, Superman is officially the most viewed and the most talked about trailer in the history of both DC and Warner Bros,” Gunn wrote. “This is because of all of you: thank you! We’re incredibly grateful and, most of all, excited to share this movie with you in July. Happy Holidays!“
While the Superman trailer has gathered more views in 24 hours than almost any of the year’s big movies (including Joker: Folie à Deux with 167 million views and Inside Out 2 with 157 million views), it’s still trailing behind Deadpool & Wolverine, which holds the record for the most-watched trailer of all time with 365 million views.
The Superman teaser trailer gave us a nice glimpse into what Gunn has planned for this new universe. I’m still not sure if I’m sold on the suits, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for this one. Be sure to let us know what you think of the trailer!
