The trailer of James Gunn-directed ‘Superman’ is out, just days after teasing the Man of Steel’s battle in the Comic-Con footage, where he appeared blood-soaked and lifeless as his dog Krypto took the spotlight.On May 14, DC’s official YouTube channel shared a nearly three-minute trailer showing David Corenswet’s Superman being interviewed after his heroic acts are questioned. This time, Superman is in deep trouble after acting as a representative for the United States to stop a full-scale war. The trailer begins with Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan finally meeting Superman eye-to-eye for an interview, where she says he has come under a lot of fire. Superman replies that he stopped a war.
The trailer shows Superman in the middle of a battlefield, having entered a country illegally without consulting the President or anyone else, intending only to do good. The following chaos includes Superman falling hard and being saved by fellow citizens. Nicholas Hoult is introduced as the film’s antagonist, Lex Luthor.
This is the first film from the franchise since Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel (2013) and officially kicks off Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe, previously titled Superman: Legacy. The trailer features Krypto the Superdog, who rescues an injured Superman and drags him to the Fortress of Solitude. The film also stars Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner. Brosnahan said she has always loved Lois Lane and described her as smart, ambitious, and funny. She praised James Gunn and expressed excitement about the role.
James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ will launch a new DC Universe, separate from the DC Extended Universe where Henry Cavill played Superman and Zack Snyder was the leading creative force. The film also stars Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Mara Gabriela de Fara, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.
