‘Superman’ Trailer: A Bloodied Man of Steel With Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Krypto the Superdog: ‘We’re Embracing All of the Mythology,’ Says James Gunn


The first trailer for 'Superman' is out, following a preview with director James Gunn and stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult.

But as the teaser makes abundantly clear, this Superman — as played by relative newcomer David Corenswet(“Hollywood,” “Twisters”) — will debut for the first time into a cinematic universe inhabited by the full spectrum of DC Comics characters. They include Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, who is seen hovering inside an impervious sphere; Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, the pugnacious member of the Green Lantern corps who marches towards Superman with a purpose that does not appear friendly; Isabela Merced (“Alien: Romulus”) as the winged Hawkgirl; and Anthony Corrigan as the pale, bald Metamorpho. Gunn said he wrestled about whether he should include the rousing main theme composed by John Williams for the 1978 “Superman” movie, which he ultimately realized is so indelibly connected to the character that his film should incorporate it in some way — like the electric guitar riff used in the teaser.
