Two new international Superman posters have been released. The Chinese one-sheet features a familiar shot of David Corenswet's Man of Steel; how high the movie will soar at the box office there is hard to say, as the Middle Kingdom rarely embraces Hollywood blockbusters these days.
The fact that it's secured a day-and-date release in China is good news, regardless, and every dollar counts for Superman, especially when there's so much riding on the movie's success.
Our second poster features Corenswet striking another iconic Superman pose. The Twisters star looks the part and has clearly put in the work to bring this character to life on screen in a way that does right by the comic books.
Excitement for Superman continues to increase, with Kevin Smith recently sharing his enthusiasm for the first DCU movie. "It feels more comic book-y is what it is," he told Deadline. "I mean, number one, putting his trunks on the outside again is just charming, and including the dog is not something we’ve seen over the course of the last 10 years, and I think that’s such a smart choice...it just looks so charming.”
"When times are good for Americans and prosperous, oddly enough, Batman is the dominant character because Batman is a dark fantasy about everything going wrong," Smith said. "And then the flip theory of that is Superman is ascendant whenever the country is doing poorly or it needs help, and that’s when that character plays strongest."
"So, it would feel like based on that, like Superman, the stage is set for that movie to make so much f*cking money. People wanna hope right now. People just want to believe in a f*cking thing, man," the filmmaker, who wrote the unmade Superman Lives movie, concluded.
Smith's comments echo what fans have been saying for a while now. Embracing the source material (while moving on from the moodier interpretation of the hero we saw in the DCEU) could be what helps put Supes back on the map.
Tickets for Superman are expected to go on sale later this week. We got three sets of character posters last week, but you can expect the likes of IMAX and ScreenX to share their own efforts. One final trailer may also be on the cards.
