We are only a day away from the discharge of the primary Superman trailer, and what’s formally the launch of live-action DCU content material, even when some previous James Gunn tasks seem to have been made quasi-canon.
In a brand new video by which he relays his pleasure for the movie, Gunn hyperlinks to a YouTube countdown video the place the trailer will seem. That countdown ends on Thursday, December 19 at 9:53 AM ET. My guess is that there shall be some form of extra countdown then, and it’ll really premiere proper at 10 AM ET.
Interestingly, this teaser trailer is being promoted with…one other teaser trailer. When you go to that video you will note a 30 second clip that options the very first footage from the movie. It’s lots of people trying up, the tagline of the movie, and whereas most we don’t know, within the first shot we do see Lois Lane, Cat Grant and Jimmy Olsen, amongst others. The clip ends with Superman flying up into the sky, although we don’t get a superb have a look at the costume or something.
Even although it might appear to be it from this clip, this isn’t relaying the “first” look of Superman, as Gunn has mentioned that he’s already a longtime hero at this level. My idea is that these persons are most likely not even taking a look at Superman, however as a substitute that big menace that’s seen out the window of the primary Superman poster, however I could possibly be fallacious.
In latest days forward of this trailer’s launch, we have now additionally gotten a full synopsis for the movie:
“James Gunn takes on the unique superhero within the newly imagined DC universe with a singular mix of epic motion, humor and coronary heart, delivering a SUPERMAN who’s pushed by compassion and an inherent perception within the goodness of humankind.”
Gunn has now achieved just a few interviews in regards to the movie by which he talks about the way it’s not going to be fairly as outwardly comedic as his different DC and Marvel tasks, Suicide Squad, Peacemaker and the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Here’s what he instructed The Wrap:
“There’s loads of humor in it. People like Rachel (Brosnahan) are so humorous and David (Corenswet) could be very humorous as properly, so there’s humor in it, however it’s making an attempt to create one thing that’s grounded, but in addition it’s an extremely fanciful world, it’s fantasy, it’s taking from different issues like ‘Game of Thrones,’ the place it’s this universe the place superheroes really exist.”
In phrases of the place there is comedy, it’s simple to see how quite a lot of that most likely will in actual fact be from Lois Lane, provided that Rachel Brosnahan spent 5 seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel being hilarious. When she was forged, out of anybody forged within the DCU to this point, she felt like probably the most excellent selection.
So, see you tomorrow at 10 AM ET sharp. Look up (at your display).
