DC Studios Releases Superman Trailer Featuring David Corenswet

DC Studios has released the first full-length trailer for 'Superman,' directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, launching a new DC Universe to replace the DCEU. The film focuses on an early career Superman, who is already established but inexperienced, facing a smear campaign likely orchestrated by Lex Luthor after intervening in an international conflict, as well as threats like a kaiju attack in Metropolis. The trailer introduces new characters such as the Justice Gang superheroes and highlights emotional depth, with Lois Lane knowing Clark's secret identity and Superman portrayed as a 'vulnerable god,' eliciting mixed fan reactions on the film's tone and color palette. Corenswet has discussed his approach to the role, drawing inspiration from his gentle brother-in-law to portray Clark Kent's smaller, quieter persona, emphasizing the duality between Clark and Superman. The film aims to blend colorful and darker themes, with some fans expressing excitement for the release and others craving a more classic, serious tone. 'Superman' is set to hit theaters on July 11, marking a pivotal moment for the DC Universe under Gunn's vision.
