It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the dawn of a new day for the Superman IP. James Gunn is giving his take on the iconic character with his DC feature “Superman,” starring David Corenswet as the title character.
Gunn, who is the co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran, wrote the feature which is decidedly not an origin story about Clark Kent embracing his alienhood to save the world. There will be plenty of world saving, but he is already well known to his colleague and love interest Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult).
“We just start in the middle of the action,” Gunn previously told TheWrap. “Superman already exists. Lois and Clark already know each other. Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally. So we start right in the middle of the action.”
“Superman” is among the latest DC installments, which also includes the return of the “Peacemaker” series for Max.
Warner Bros. Pictures will release “Superman” in theaters on July 11. Check out the trailer below.
