‘Superman' trailer: David Corenswet's Man of Steel faces heat as Lois Lane questions his interference in a war
The trailer begins with Clark Kent agreeing to Lois Lane's (Rachel Brosnahan) request to sit for an interview as Superman. The Son of Krypton abides, however, the interview soon turns into a grilling session as Lane questions him on several decisions he had just taken, including interfering in a war. While an annoyed Superman defends himself, stating that he stopped the war and prevented the deaths of countless, we cut to glimpses that show the superhero's actions being questioned by the media, the government, and the people he strives to protect. At one point, he is even arrested for his interference with the war.
The trailer also shows Superman having to take on the evil Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), who seems to have an issue with how Superman has 'somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation.' The trailer ends with Pa Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince) telling Clark, 'Your choices, your actions, that's what makes you who you are.'
The trailer also glimpses at Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan's Matamorpho and Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific, among others. The Hammer of Boravia and Ultraman too make appearances.
The cast of the film also features Skyler Gisondo (as Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner) and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer). María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk and Neva Howell also feature in the film.
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn produce the film, which has a screenplay written by Gunn. The director is joined by his frequent collaborators for the technical side of things: director of photography Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky and composer John Murphy, along with editors William Hoy, Jason Ballantine and Craig Alpert.
Superman takes flight in the US on July 11 and internationally on July 9.
