James Gunn's much-awaited Superman's teaser-trailer is out now. The relatively new Superman David Corenswet will inhabit a world full of DC Comics characters. The teaser introduces the Superman, lying on a snow-covered terrain and blood spitting out of his mouth. When Krypto the Superdog, comes near a wounded Superman, he says, "Take me home."


The teaser offers a first look of David as Superman's bespectacled alter ego, Clark Kent, reporter for the Metropolis newspaper The Daily Planet. Kent's colleague and Superman's beloved, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Superman's arch nemesis, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), are also introduced in the teaser. Additionally, there are a few quick glimpses of Skyler Gisondo as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, as well as Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Clark's adopted father.


There are also glimpses of other DC superheroes making their debuts. They include Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, the pugnacious member of the Green Lantern corps, Isabela Merced ("Alien: Romulus") as the winged Hawkgirl; and Anthony Corrigan as the pale, bald Metamorpho.





During a press meet, James Gunn mentioned the essance of the film with these words this Superman "lives in a world with superheroes," quoted Variety.


The new Superman film is also David Corenswet's biggest Hollywood project yet. He is only the fourth actor to play the iconic role on the big screen, after Christopher Reeve (1978-87), Brandon Routh (2006) and Henry Cavill (2013-2022).  Before Superman, David has been seen in projects such as The Politician, Hollywood, and Pearl.


Before casting for the lead role of Superman/ Clark Kent, James Gunn had shared his vision for the film in an interaction with Variety. He had said: "The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he's also an alien. It's gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug."


James Gunn has previously directed films such as the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, The Suicide Squad, and Slither, among others.
