‘Superman’ Takes Flight With Full Trailer From James Gunn

Superman‘s latest footage offers a new look at the titular DC Comics character’s heroics.

The full trailer for writer-director James Gunn‘s movie was released Wednesday, ahead of the Warner Bros. feature hitting theaters July 11. Superman stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

The new film focuses on the titular superhero, who made his way to Earth from the planet Krypton and grapples with his powers while blending in as journalist Clark Kent.

“He’s not a man,” Hoult says in the trailer. “He’s an ‘it’ that’s somehow become the focal point of the entire world’s conversation.”
Previously released footage showed an injured Superman getting rescued when his trusty dog, Krypto, drags him to the Fortress of Solitude. After Superman thanks a robot crew for their help, one of them replies, “No need to thank us, sir, as we will not appreciate it.”

Gunn announced on Instagram earlier this week that he would be revealing the full trailer, adding the caption, “I’ve been waiting too long to share this with you all!”

Superman’s release marks a pivotal and high-stakes moment for Warner Bros., in addition to DC Studios bosses Gunn and Peter Safran, who produce this project. The film co-stars Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner) and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer).

Gunn joined his stars on the CinemaCon stage last month, where Corenswet discussed how he felt to portray the Man of Steel. “It’s a great honor to play a role that exists so clearly in the public consciousness,” the star said.
