Behold, the Official Superman Trailer!


I stumbled on the full trailer for James Gunn’s Superman by accident today, as I was looking for background music to play while handling some apartment chores. I don’t know why IGN has this first and not the Warner Brothers YouTube Channel, but it’s not a “Concept” trailer.

I don’t know if I’m fully sold on this. It definitely feels a bit lighter compared to earlier presentations of the character. I do like David Corenswet’s approach (via Gunn’s writing/direction), though I thought he did a great job in Ti West’s Pearl and in Twisters. It definitely looks like there’s a great deal going on here, and the Man of Steel has quite a bit of backup to help him out.

We’ll all find out on July 11, when the film premieres in theatres.
