You may recall that, shortly after the first Superman teaser trailer was released, a couple of hi-res screenshots of Lex Luthor and Mister Terrific showed up online.
We never did track down that version of the sneak peek but both scenes - the only ones not included in the officially released teaser - have now found their way onto social media. They don't reveal much, of course, but we're sure many of you will welcome any new content from the DCU reboot.
As an added bonus, the Luthor scene features both Ultraman and The Engineer.
Gunn has been silent on social media since the holidays and there's no clear indication of when we'll get a new look at Superman. The movie is bound to be featured in an upcoming issue of Empire, for example, but we can only guess as to when the next phase of marketing begins.
After recently teasing the "complex relationships between Clark and Lois and Lex and Clark," filmmaker James Gunn has talked about making sure this version of Lex Luthor is "absolutely Superman’s equal."
He added, "Maybe more that. You’ve got to be scared, and this Lex is scary. And it’s not just because he is a bad guy - because he’s pretty bad - but he has his reasons for thinking what he thinks, which we get into."
"And it’s a lot of ideological things about what Superman represents versus what he represents as the world’s most intelligent man. And so, I think that it really is this battle of ideologies between the two of them and how they look at the world. One of whom is very generous in his point of view, which is Superman, and one of them is not very generous in his point of view, which is Lex."
"But also, his intelligence and his way of dealing with the sort of henchmen that Lex has around him makes him incredibly dangerous to Superman," Gunn explained. "And when you’re willing to fight, and there are no rules, you always have an upper hand over the person who’s willing to fight and has a lot of rules - which is Superman."
Check out these new snippets of Superman footage below and stay tuned for more on the movie as we have it.
