Well, folks, James Gunn is about to unveil the first teaser for his eagerly anticipated Superman film tomorrow. But before we dive into that, we’ve already got a sneak peek.
Honestly, what is up with today’s marketing strategies? We’ve been clued in since earlier this week that we could expect a trailer drop this Thursday, December 19. Gunn even gave us a taste of the main theme to tide us over. Fine. Yet, today we got a 30-second teaser announcing tomorrow’s teaser trailer. Seriously, how much more teasing do we need? We’ve already got the memo that a trailer is arriving imminently!
If you’re curious, this latest teaser mostly features random folks gazing skyward—fitting, given the movie’s tagline, “Look Up.” It also offers our first glimpse of Rachel Brosnahan stepping into the shoes of Lois Lane, alongside Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olson. Oh, and yes, there’s some footage of Superman zipping through the air, but David Corenswet’s face remains elusive in these fleeting shots, so it really does live up to being just a ‘tease.’ But hey, at least we know what time to set our alarms for tomorrow: 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT. As you’re reading this, we’re under 24 hours away, and I bet you can manage the wait just a bit longer, can’t you?
Gunn definitely has his work cut out for him with this first trailer, especially since he’s one of the co-CEOs of DC Studios. It’s essentially his job now to direct the DC Universe onto a successful path and keep it from faltering into obscurity. Although this is Superman we’re talking about, and everyone thinks they know him well, superhero films aren’t hitting the box office highs they used to. That makes this first trailer a crucial moment to reignite passion for the character we all think we know.
