I really feel like I should be downing this teaser for, well, a number of reasons. First, it’s a trailer for a trailer which is a thing I want to call dumb but in reality I’m always jumping online to view. Second, as a person that thinks Henry Cavill‘s Supes was the pinnacle, I’m still a little salty for how that whole thing ended. I SHOULD be downing this…but I just can’t, I mean, it’s Superman! The OG comic-book movie hero and the bar by which all other hero’s are measured. Once you add in the fact that James Gunn is piloting the ship I can’t help but to have full faith that this movie will amaze. Once Gunn hit a home run with the Guardians of the freakin’ Galaxy I stopped believing there was anything that man couldn’t do.
While this is a teaser in the truest sense it’s enough to satiate you until tomorrow when the full trailer debuts online. It’s all pretty standard stuff for a Superman movie. Shots of the Daily Planet, a man clad in red, blue, and yellow soaring amongst the clouds, and a bunch of people starring skyward in amazement. The cherry on top, the choral rendition of John William’s score which gives you just enough to recognize it while becoming something new and ethereal.
My fingers and toes are crossed that Gunn continues his perfect batting average, DC has been in the B-league’s cinematically for too long. There are SO many amazing characters to dive into and, as Gunn himself said, the development of those films all hinge on the success of this one. Fitting for Superman, don’t you think?
While we have to wait to truly decide until July 25th, 2025, when the film is released, we should be able to get a decent feeling for how amazing this will be tomorrow, so check back here for the full trailer!
