Superman gets a trailer

Superman, DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into cinemas 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, humour and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.

Check out the new trailer below.

I am excited for the film, and I do love Superman, but I must admit to feeling a little underwhelmed by the trailer. It is very much a teaser trailer, but is more like a sizzle reel instead of a carefully constructed trailer. I am still looking forward to the film, but I was hoping to watch the teaser and be left feeling awestruck by what I had seen. That’s on me. My expectations were maybe a bit high. Still it was good seeing Krypto, Guy Gardner, Mr Terrific and more. The scene with Superman dashing in and protecting the child was lovely to see. It was also great to hear the classic John Williams tune again. I look forward to longer trailer whenever that will be with us.

DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

The film stars David Corenswet (“Twisters,” “Hollywood”) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the “X-Men” movies, “Juror #2”) as Lex Luthor.
