‘Superman' trailer: David Corenswet's Man of Steel faces heat as Lois Lane questions his interference in a war
James Gunn, filmmaker and CEO of DC Studios, unveiled a new trailer of his much-hyped Superman film on Wednesday (May 14). Starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, the film promises to tell a one-of-a-kind live-action Superman story. 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.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors This Wednesday, we're supposed to be getting a new full trailer for "Superman", but in the meantime, James Gunn treated us to a little taste of what we should expect. The filmmaker released a 15-second preview of the trailer, featuring footage of a battle between Superman and a mechanized villain named the Hammer of Boravia. You can watch the teaser below.

In fact, Boravia first appeared all the way back in 1939's "Superman" #2. We've also seen Boravia in bits and pieces of the TV spots and teaser trailers released so far. David Corenswet in "Superman." David Corenswet in "Superman." Warner Bros This won't be the first time Superman has fought an original villain of this caliber on the big screen. In 1987's "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace", Christopher Reeve's Superman fought the Nuclear Man, a rival who would only show up in the comics much later. Of course, we all hope James Gunn's "Superman" does better than the flop that ended that film series. Superman certainly does seem to have his hands full in this film. So far, we've seen him fighting fire-breathing kaiju, a black clad villain who may or may not be Ultraman, and now the Hammer of Boravia. It's no wonder he's got Krypto and heroes like Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner, and Mister Terrific watching his back. No matter what else you can say about "Superman", it certainly doesn't look like it's going to be lacking in the action department. The promotional lead-up to "Superman" is ramping up nicely ahead of tomorrow's trailer. Along with this new teaser, we've seen new posters for the film, including a motion poster, Krypto playing with Superman and Mister Terrific in a Milk Bone commercial, and even a new video ad in New York City's Times Square. With Marvel's "Thunderbolts*" now in the rear view mirror, expect the weeks leading up to July 11 to bring us all plenty of "Superman" advertisements, for better or worse. "Superman" releases in theaters on July 11. The film is written and directed by James Gunn. "Superman" stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.
