If there’s something we can take away from what we’ve seen of James Gunn’s Superman, it’s that his film will be very different than Zack Snyder’s. Gone are the grim themes and tone, and dark, foreboding colors. Gunn’s film is bold, bright, colorful, and soaring with heroism. A new teaser offers another look at the DC cinematic universe relaunch, with bits of new footage of the Last Son of Krypton in action.
David Corenswet suits up as the Man of Steel, in what could be a career-definining role if things turn out well. The latest TV spot mostly contains shots that we’ve already seen, but there’s new footage of Superman flying through icy terrain, close-up on Corenswet’s face. We also see Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, lifted off her feet by a kiss from Superman; Krypto the Super-dog coming to his fallen master’a aide, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. There are also fire-breathing monsters, kids waving flags, damaged robots, and more packed into a 30-second clip.
Also in the cast are Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner (aka the best Green Lantern), Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Maria Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Tesmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, and Neva Howell as Martha Kent.
Written and directed by James Gunn, Superman rockets into theaters on July 11th via Warner Bros.
