‘Superman' Flies Into Barcelona With 30 Minutes Of Footage During Warner Bros' CineEurope Presentation
In his first CineEurope outing since adding international to his purview, Warner Bros President of Global Theatrical Distribution, Jeff Goldstein, introduced the studio's show today, capping it off with 30 minutes of DC's July tentpole Superman, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. The start of the footage was similar to what exhibition saw at CinemaCon in April (which director James Gunn also dropped online during that week), but went well further in an exclusive reveal today. It was teed up first by a local musician playing the iconic theme on stage with an electric guitar, and then in a video from DC chiefs Peter Safran and Gunn. The duo wasn't here in person as the team is embarking on a global tour today, starting in the Philippines.

He also touted 2026's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow from director Craig Gillespie which releases in June next year. Earlier in the WB CineEurope show, F1: The Movie director Joseph Kosinski sent a message to say he'd been 'thrilled' to shoot the Apple Original Films racing pic at different F1 events around the globe, 'to ensure authenticity' which will give audiences 'the ride of a lifetime.' The Brad Pitt-starrer starts worldwide rollout on June 25. During the New Line portion of the WB show, there was an exclusive trailer for Zach Cregger's 'batsh*t insane' Weapons. The original IP begins worldwide rollout on August 6. Also from New Line, The Conjuring: Last Rites got a new look-in, as did Mortal Kombat II. Footage was further shown for the first teaming of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and star Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another. Some was what we saw in Las Vegas in April, but there was also an exclusive work-in-progress trailer debuted. And, a behind-the-scenes reel was unveiled for Emerald Fennel's take on Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi starring. In a whimsical moment, Bill Damaschke, President Warner Bros Pictures Animation, introduced footage from next year's The Cat in the Hat, and surprised CineEurope attendees with red-and-white stovepipe chapeaux that had been hidden under every seat in the auditorium, while he urged folks to don the caps and stand for a photo.
