Superman is going to show up in movie theaters earlier than expected… in preview form, at least. It’s been revealed that an extended preview — rumored to be around five minutes of footage — of James Gunn’s big screen reboot of DC’s Man of Steel will be attached to A Minecraft Movie when it opens in theaters April 4.

The announcement was made on social media April 1, ahead of Warner Bros’ presentation at CinemaCon later that day, which is expected to feature the Superman cast and writer/director James Gunn. Accompanying the announcement was a video featuring new Superman David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) and Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane:

Warner Bros.’ A Minecraft Movie is already the best-selling PG-rated movie of the year in terms of advance ticketing; attaching the Superman preview is certain to not only drive ticketing higher, but also ensure that younger audiences will get more exposure to the Superman reboot months ahead of its release, ideally pushing excitement amongst kids as summer approaches.

A Minecraft Movie is in theaters April 4. Superman is in theaters July 11.
