Tomorrow is "Superman Day," but will we get a new look at James Gunn's Superman movie? While a poster or TV spot isn't outside the realm of possibility, we're not banking on a full trailer, as it wasn't that long ago DC Studios dropped a 5-minute sneak peek.

In the meantime, we have some awesome new variant covers which will be released in comic book stores between May and July. Created by artists Frank Quitely, Jim Lee, Jorge Jimenez, Dan Mora, Nicola Scott, Dan Jurgens, and Jerry Ordway, they all depict the DCU's Man of Steel, played by David Corenswet.

With Superman taking inspiration from Grant Morrison and Quitely's All-Star Superman series, it's undeniably awesome to see his take on the latest actor to bring this hero to life on screen. 

During a recent interview, Corenswet made it clear he's well aware of the pressure a role like Superman brings. He also acknowledged that there's a good chance he'll only ever be remembered for playing the Man of Tomorrow. And he's fine with it. 

"Would this be worth doing if this was the only thing I do as an actor for the rest of my life?" he pondered. "I think the answer is yes."

"Compared to Batman and Spider-Man, he isn’t depicted as having great inner turmoil. If he’s invincible, what’s at stake?" the actor added, citing All-Star Superman writer Grant Morrison. "All the important stuff. You can be the most well-adjusted, well-intentioned person, but people will still die. You can’t save everyone forever."

Check out these new Superman-inspired variant covers below.
