Superman swoops into theaters a little over six weeks from now, and you just know the DCU movie will have some unique popcorn buckets.
We're sure at least one of them will be Krypto the Superdog-related, while everything from Mister Terrific's T-Sphere to the Fortress of Solitude (heck, even the titular hero's trunks) would make for suitably fun "buckets" to eat popcorn out of.
While we wait for those to be unveiled, a few early efforts from overseas have found their way online. One of them reveals a new look at David Corenswet as the Man of Tomorrow. It's a great promo shot of Superman, emphasising the bright colours of his costume and the hero's Kingdom Come-inspired logo.
Tickets for Superman are expected to go on sale early next month, and it's then that we'll get new posters and the first wave of official popcorn bucket reveals. One final trailer before the movie is released also seems likely, though we're hearing late June for that.
Entertainment Weekly recently spoke to James Gunn about Peacemaker season 2. The filmmaker explained how he balanced working on the HBO Max series with helming the Man of Steel's long-awaited big screen return.
"Once I was done with Peacemaker, I had to do Guardians 3, and then when I was about ready to jump [back] into Peacemaker, I got hired to be the head of DC," he recalled. "As soon as I got that job, I made a couple of calls, and the first one was to [Marvel's] Kevin Feige telling him that I'm taking the [job as] head of DC."
"The second one was to John Cena, and I said, 'I'm getting this gig, and I still want to do Peacemaker, but it's going to have to wait. We're going to have to get Superman working first.'"
"As soon as I was done writing Superman, I was able to write season 2 of Peacemaker," Gunn confirmed. "I know it seems like a long time for other people, but for me it all seems awful short because there was so many things I did in between."
