The kickoff of the promotion of Superman by James Gunn was given with a poster and a teaser, before the trailer.
The issues surrounding the next Superman are overwhelming. Supposed to compete with Marvel at the time, the DC Extended Universe had completely collapsed with a succession of disastrous production choices, critical disappointments and economic disasters from which the Warner studio struggled to recover. In order to put this fiasco behind him, he started from scratch with a brand new extended universe soberly titled DC Universesupervised by Peter Safran (for the logistical part) and James Gunn (for the creative part).
The duo will have the difficult task of resurrecting the most iconic superheroes from the DC stable, starting with Superman. This reboot is written and directed by Gunn. With David Corenswet in the title role, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl and Milly Alcock as Supergirl, his ambition is not matched only by the fear he inspires. We will soon have the opportunity to get a first impression with the trailer.
Superman : Man of style
The long-awaited big trailer will be released Thursday, December 19 at 3:00 p.m. Until then, Warner has thrown away the traditional teaser and animated posterjust to feed social networks. The teaser only reveals a logo… that we had already seen, as well as a catchline that Adam McKay would not approve of: « Look Up » (“Lift your eyes”). Catchline shown on the animated poster, which says a little more about the approach chosen by the filmmaker, or at least by the promotion.
Corenswet, wearing his old-fashioned costume, rushes towards the sky, shrouded in a chromatic palette banned from almost all of Zack Snyder’s films. Unsurprisingly, this Superman may be different from Man of Steelwithout denying it. It is in fact the track accompanying the poster which is the most interesting. This short minute of music easily mixes the themes of Hans Zimmer and especially John Williamsas if to pay homage to the heritage in which it is part.
The soundtrack by John Murphy (who has already collaborated with Gunn on his two previous films, The Suicide Squad et Guardians of the Galaxy 3) will it also be referenced or is it only a way to reassure the hordes of comic fans, ready to do battle with this new interpretation?
Hint December 19, 2024 in the trailer and verdict on July 9, 2025date of the start of this new DC chapter (in live action, since the series Creature Commandos has already started on Max), part 1 of which is soberly titled « Gods and Monsters“. That promises.
