The wait is lastly over: Our first have a look at James Gunn’s Superman, the primary live-action entry of the rebooted DCU, has arrived.
Whereas the animated sequence Creature Commandos (at the moment airing on Max) technically marked the start of this new relaunch of DC films and TV reveals, everybody was desirous to see what Gunn and his collaborators had cooked up for the triumphant return of Superman to the massive display screen, which is accompanied by guarantees of a universe that is extra colourful and relaxed. It is also been mentioned it will not deal with its tasks like required homework. Will they pull it off? We’ll discover out quickly sufficient.
In any case, the first-ever trailer arrived at the moment, December 19, to a lot anticipation which can or might not translate into robust field workplace earnings come subsequent summer season. If something, Gunn has been personally selling to hell out of each challenge DC Studios has put out thus far, and that features The Penguin, HBO’s hit present that bridges the hole between 2022’s The Batman and The Batman Half II, which remains to be having its script discovered by Matt Reeves. Whether or not they’re a part of the principle DCU continuity or Elseworld tales, all DC movie and TV productions will now undergo Warner Bros. Discovery’s reply to Disney and Marvel’s way more organized (up up to now) efforts.
Earlier than we gush concerning the trailer’s biggest moments, watch it for your self under:
Watch on YouTube
Krypto! Lex Luthor! Tons of facet heroes like Hawkgirl and Man Gardner! It is a actually packed ‘teaser’ trailer, and on the heart of all of it, you possibly can infer a giant beating coronary heart, which appears to be Gunn’s fundamental energy relating to comedian e book diversifications. With roughly seven months of post-production nonetheless forward, that is already trying nice and sorta refreshing even it is one more Superman reboot.
No plot particulars revealed although, and that is for the very best. Bear in mind when trailers did not reveal nearly your entire film and ran on vibes and killer photographs for essentially the most half? Nicely, at the least this primary have a look at the film is doing precisely that, and its riff on John Williams’ authentic rating seems like dishonest, however hey, I am feeling feels due to a brand new superhero film. It has been some time. Verify again in a couple of months to see if the second trailer maintains the hopeful power up.
On prime the trailer, the film’s first poster is fairly rattling cool too. I am personally loving the colourful colours and hope the remainder of the advertising supplies preserve them.
The film stars David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with an all-star supporting forged that features Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Frank Grillo, Skyler Gisondo, Wendell Pierce, Edi Gathegi, Sean Gunn, Anthony Carrigan, Alan Tudyk, and extra.
