Last week, DC Studios released nearly 5 minutes of footage from Superman. The extended sneak peek debuted in theaters before A Minecraft Movie and revealed the Man of Tomorrow's arrival at the Fortress of Solitude alongside Krypto.
The expectation is that we might get a new trailer on Superman Day (April 18). However, filmmaker James Gunn appears to have dismissed the possibility during an exchange with a fan on social media.
"We just released five minutes of footage in theaters so it will be a beat," the DC Studios co-CEO confirmed after being asked when a second trailer will arrive.
While we'd bet on something dropping during Friday's Superman Day celebrations, a poster now seems far more likely than a full-blown trailer. If Superman is following Barbie's marketing campaign, a new sneak peek dropping sometime in May might be the current plan.
Talking at CinemaCon earlier this month, Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane, said, "I remember we shot a scene where we were walking through a field at night and the moon was behind [David]. The trees were blowing the distance. It was magic."
Addressing co-star David Corenswet, the actress said, "I think I turned to you - and I don’t know if I'm allowed to curse in here - but I said, 'Dude, you’re f***ing Superman. This is crazy!' And David was like, 'Yes, I know. I’ve been here for many, many months.'"
Superman is one of the year's most highly anticipated movies, and fans demanding a new trailer so soon after getting 5 minutes of footage reiterates that fact. We're also waiting on a new look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps - which opens shortly after Superman in July - though that's sure to drop in time for Thunderbolts*.
