The summer movie season is heating up, and all eyes are on James Gunn’s Superman. Anticipation for this big-screen reboot continues to grow, with Warner Bros. releasing a brand new trailer that gives us a bit more insight into the movie’s plot and the relationship between David Corenswet’s Superman and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane.

But really, it’s all about the villains. The new trailer not only showcases Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, but also characters like María Gabriela de Faría’s Engineer, Gunn’s creation, the Hammer of Boravia, and the mysterious Ultraman.

It all begs the question – who is really the villain of Gunn’s Superman? Is Lex taking a backseat to some of the DCU’s other baddies? Let’s explore the many villains featured in Superman and how these characters all fit together.

Superman is written and directed by James Gunn. The film stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced. Superman will be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.
