Tokyo Comic-Con took place over the weekend, and while the event was light on major reveals, an official theatre standee for James Gunn's Superman was spotted as part of a display on the convention floor.

Unfortunately, the poster doesn't feature any new imagery from the movie, only giving us another look at the Kingdom Come-inspired logo. But if this sort of promotional material is beginning to show up in the wild, there's a good chance we'll see a new poster prior to the release of the first trailer.

Still no ETA on the highly-anticipated teaser, but we know it will be released before the end of the year.

Gunn recently confirmed that the DCU reboot has scheduled some additional pickups. "Not a few days [of additional shooting]. We’re doing a day and a half of pickup shots. No scenes. No reshoots. Just a handful of individual shots to enhance the film.”

"Superman is an enormous bear of a movie," Gunn said in a recent interview. "It’s completely different from [Creature Commandos] in every way, but it’s very much fantastic as well. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, David Corenswet is going to freak everyone out with how great he is. He is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with, and he can do everything. The man is incredible.

Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted earlier this year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

@RolandD - I’d like to join the all-in party as well. Gunn has become one of the best CBM directors we have and I am super excited to see his take on this character. I want joyful fun Superman back.

@RolandD - This Visionary guy apparently blocked me...

Anyway, how did you miss "Kingdom Come"?! I mean, the story is fine enough (not a diehard fan), but the ARTWORK alone!
If you still read comics, I highly suggest prioritizing it :-)

@DrDReturns - that's guy has blocked anyone who isn't overly positive about the Gunn verse 😅

@Rocket38 - Absolutely. I want the character and the world to be treated seriously but he should be a beacon of hope and overall, like you said, the movie should be fun. I’ve been preaching this for a while, but I think that James Gunn knows not to use the kind of humor he has used in a lot of of his work. Humor is fine. We just don’t need middle school humor in this movie.

@DrDReturns - my comment above was supposed to say I gave up buying comics a very long time ago, so that’s how I did not have Kingdom Come in my collection.

@BraveNewClunge - To be fair, the site used to be a lot more fun, but people have gotten overly negative here in my humble opinion so I can’t blame him. There are a lot of users that have left or at least don’t come anymore and I’m sure part of it is how negative the comments have become.

@RolandD - wut?

Are you forgetting the comment section between 2015-2020 😅 this comment sections is pretty tame compared to those days (comic book movie wise)

But I do agree its worse if you mean race / politics wise.

@RolandD - I understand.

Yeah, I'm in my 30's. Collected up through 2009? Comics are not what they used to be, in my opinion, and I'm talking even well before my time.
You've read "DC: The New Frontier" yeah?

I don't know if I've replied to him once?

Lots of different opinions in the world. Strange way to deal with 'em.

@TheVandalore - He has a three page template for Superman articles that get three lines of different text and maybe a tweet added in somewhere near the top. Rinse and repeat!

@TheVandalore - I knew it too, but I clicked on it regardless. I think we are all hungry for content and sometimes we get it and sometimes we don’t.

The roll out of Superman and the DCU has been underwhelming at best. I don't expect it to get better.

I dig the Kingdom Come-esque symbol!!.

I think it might also tie in thematically with Superman in the film…

Instead of him coming back to being a superhero, he is this new upstart early into his career that becomes a source of inspiration to the world and shows the other public “heroes” who might apparently be either just corporate or government owned what true heroism really means which is what the Kingdom Come comic is about in a way.

@TheVisionary25 - OK, so I stopped by comics a very long time ago. Obviously I’ve heard a lot about Kingdom Come. After reading that page, I’ve decided I need to buy it and read it. Thanks for posting it!

I’m never going to like that logo. Doesn’t look like an “S” at all. Annoying how corporations/directors like to change things just to make it “their’s”. I don’t think of Superman when I see this logo. Annoying.
