The wait is almost over! Next month, James Gunn officially kicks off the DCU with Superman, starring David Corenswet as the latest actor to portray the Man of Steel. If the film is a smash, then a new cinematic universe is born. If it goes the way of recent Superman movies…well, then Gunn’s got a lot o’ splainin’ to do!
With tickets available for preorder, Warner Bros. has dropped a final Superman trailer. With the film so close to arriving, it might be a good idea to start holding back on how much footage you consume, if preserving the experience is something you want to do. I know that’s what I’m doing.
Recent reports of poor test screenings have hampered the buzz on this film somewhat, but overall I think there are still a lot of high hopes that Gunn can pull this off.
Joining Corenswet is a gigantic cast including Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, along with Wendell Pierce, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Skyler Gisondo, María Gabriela de Faría, Sara Sampaio, Terence Rosemore, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell, Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, Christopher McDonald, and Alan Tudyk.
SYNOPSIS: “Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
Superman hits theaters and IMAX on July 11th.
