James Gunn unveils his 'Superman,' and DC universe, by promising 'the ultimate good guy'

As a movie enthusiast with over four decades of cinematic exploration under my belt, I must say that the new Superman trailer has certainly piqued my interest. Having witnessed countless iterations of the Man of Steel throughout the years, I can confidently say that James Gunn‘s take seems to strike a unique balance between the classic and the contemporary.

The latest “Superman” trailer may deceive you: As James Gunn suggests, Krypto might not be as virtuous as the trailer portrays.

On Thursday, the initial official trailer debuted, showcasing DC Studios’ latest Man of Steel portrayed by David Corenswet. This particular day seemed challenging for Superman as he plummeted into a barren, frozen environment looking distressed. Struggling to rise on his own, Superman summons his loyal friend Krypto with a whistle to tow him back home.

The movie’s creator and executive at DC Studios, Gunn, mentioned that Superman’s bond with Krypto is intricate. He hinted that there are deeper aspects to Krypto beyond what’s shown in the trailer.

The trailer provides an initial, prolonged glimpse into the upcoming reboot featuring Corenswet, marking both its debut and the beginning of the new DC Universe, without any dialogue from other characters apart from Superman speaking to Krypto.

As a devoted fan, I can confidently express that my vision for Superman was one who remained faithful to his roots as an embodiment of absolute goodness. In other words, this version of the Last Son of Krypton is not just a superhero, but a symbol of kindness and virtue on screen.

Some might think Superman’s inherent goodness stems from naivety, but according to Corenswet, it’s more about the character’s “blindness towards minor flaws and… the petty, trivial matters that often consume us humans.

In the near future, the movie, previously titled “Superman Legacy,” delves into the personal aspects of Superman, focusing on both his identity as an individual and his daily struggles. The director further explained.

The new footage also offers glimpses of Superman’s civilian persona, Clark Kent, bustling into the offices of the Daily Planet, as well as his colleague Lois Lane (portrayed by Rachel Brosnahan) and nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The film will also feature DC characters Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced).

In “Superman,” the character named Clark is portrayed as being relatively new at the Daily Planet, according to Corenswet during the event. He’s already settled into his role, but he’s not Lois Lane. Instead, he’s striving to build a reputation for himself as a journalist and is attempting to mesh with the other outstanding reporters at the Planet.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: Lois is a driven, bold, and relentless individual, always striving for the most captivating story, even if it means taking risks. What sets her apart is how her portrayal adapts to embody the spirit of an intrepid journalist in every era she’s depicted in.

She pointed out that finding a way for Lois to adapt to modern times, given the current state where print journalism might be considered a declining profession, was one of the difficulties in making this movie, since Lois is someone who has spent her whole career in this field.

For Gunn, it is important that audiences will see Lois as aspirational a hero as they see Superman.

Gunn expressed enthusiasm about this individual who’s deeply dedicated to truth and the principles of journalism. They provide a role model for young boys and girls, someone they can admire and think, ‘She’s just as impressive as him, and she doesn’t need a cape or flying abilities. I may not have superpowers, but I can achieve that.’

“Superman” is slated to hit theaters July 11. Watch the trailer here.
