We know that James Gunn wanted to take Superman in another direction, but we’re still not clear how his Man of Steel is going to be different come July when Superman hits theaters.
Just in, a new trailer has dropped for the movie, and it has a very interesting character exchange between Superman (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). Check this out:
It’s interesting because we’re still getting the same kind of modern discussion about what Superman stands for and how the modern world is going to react to him; it’s basically the same issue with Cavill’s Man of Steel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
While the trailers have all been joke-y so far, I was actually surprised that we would have a scene with Clark and Lois just screaming at each other about the complexities of politics and how Superman acts. It’s not clear how far Gunn is going to explore that, but it is kind of interesting that this Superman also has a bunch of quips as he’s fighting some meta-humans.
Here’s the official description for Superman:
“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.
Catch Superman when it comes to cinemas on July 11.
