From the trailers and promotional materials, it appears that James Gunn’s revamped Superman is harkening back to the original cinematic portrayal of the character. This fresh take seems to draw heavily from Richard Donner’s 1978 film, which was the first live-action adaptation of the character. In Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe (DCU), it appears that this movie will resemble the original more closely, differing significantly from the grittier and intense portrayal seen in Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel.
A fresh promotional clip has been shared on X by the official Superman account (see below), offering a sneak peek into the film’s production process, specifically focusing on a thrilling sequence. In this scene, David Corenswet portrays Superman rescuing children from peril, including the scene in the trailer where he protects a child from airborne debris. What makes this video engaging and unique is its portrayal of Corenswet interacting with the young actors during filming, fostering camaraderie and playfully engaging with them between takes.
It’s hardly unexpected that Corenswet mirrors Superman in real life as he does while playing the character. After all, Superman, the Last Son of Krypton, is known for inspiring hope and being unparalleled in the DC Universe. Watching this heartwarming backstage video strengthens the belief that Gunn’s and Corenswet’s portrayal will truly do the character justice. From his breathtaking use of powers to his gentle interactions with others, it appears that this new Superman is destined for a shining future.
James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Will Put the Character’s Humanity on Display
A significant portion of the promotional material for Superman emphasizes his innate goodness, depicting the internal conflicts that Clark Kent faces while striving to do what’s right in a morally complex contemporary society. Additionally, it seems that the upcoming movie will delve into Superman’s interactions with ordinary people who appreciate his values. Scenes such as a bystander assisting Superman when he falls (as shown in the trailer) are likely just one of many instances where the forthcoming blockbuster will portray this dynamic.
It’s expected that James Gunn’s knack for comic adaptation will resonate with the Superman series, given his past success in creating deeply human narratives featuring alien characters, such as in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy at Marvel Studios. The upcoming DCU will take off from Clark Kent’s tale and his dual Kryptonian and Earth heritage.
Getting closer to its July release next summer amidst an action-packed movie season, I can hardly contain my excitement as a supporter for this upcoming film. With more promotional content being released, director James Gunn has labeled it as “the summer of Superman.” David Corenswet, who’s been consistently impressive during the comic book movie’s promotion, seems to embody the Man of Steel perfectly. His charisma and kindness shine through even in behind-the-scenes footage, making him feel like a true embodiment of Superman. I can’t wait to see how Corenswet will develop the character further in potential future projects.
