The first trailer for James Gunn's 'Superman: Legacy' reveals a more complex relationship between Superman and Krypto than initially portrayed.
Don’t let the new “ Superman ” trailer fool you: Krypto isn’t nearly the good boy the teaser will have you believe — at least according to James Gunn . Released Thursday, this first proper teaser trailer shows DC Studios’ newest Man of Steel, played by David Corenswet, having a bit of a rough day as he crashes down into a barren, icy landscape looking worse for wear. Unable to get up on his own, Superman whistles and calls on his faithful companion Krypto to drag him home.
“The relationship with Krypto is complicated,” said the film’s writer-director Gunn, who also serves as one of the chief executives of DC Studios, during a recent press preview event. “There’s a lot more to Krypto than you see in this trailer.” With no spoken dialogue outside of Superman’s words to Krypto, the trailer is the first extended look at the upcoming reboot starring Corenswet — which doubles as the first film of the new DC Universe. “I knew that I wanted to have a Superman that stayed true to his origins of being the ultimate good guy,” said Gunn about his iteration of the superpowered last son of Krypton, adding that it’s “a movie about kindness being good.” Some may believe Superman’s innate goodness comes from a place of naivete, but Corenswet attributes it to the character's “sort of blindness to the little imperfections and … the silly little things that we get caught up with as people.” The upcoming movie, formerly known as 'Superman Legacy,' is an exploration of who Superman “is as a person and as a person who's struggling with his day to day life,” the filmmaker added. The new footage also offers glimpses of Superman’s civilian persona, Clark Kent, bustling into the offices of the Daily Planet, as well as his colleague Lois Lane (portrayed by Rachel Brosnahan) and nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The film will also feature DC characters Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced)
