Tickets for Superman go on sale later today, and three 15-second TV spots have just hit social media. They're packed with new footage and include plenty of talking points for James Gunn's upcoming DCU movie.
We learn that Mister Terrific is no fan of Krypto (and more than a little p*ssed that Superman has brought him to what looks like the movie's final battle) and Guy Gardner using his Green Lantern Corps ring to give his foes the finger. Lois Lane even drops a "Holy shit," a fitting response to some of the epic action featured here.
Metropolis' Kryptonian protector, meanwhile, makes a point of saving civilians, holding up a collapsing building as a woman flees in her car. It's hard not to compare Superman's actions with what we saw in the DCEU, especially as that world's Kal-El typically allowed destruction to rain down around him.
There are also some undeniable physical similarities between David Corenswet and Man of Steel star Henry Cavill. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor shared his take on those comparisons.
"I've also got a lot of physical comparisons to Tom Welling, who played Superman and Clark Kent on Smallville," Corenswet admitted. "When I was growing up, he was the Superman who was on TV every week."
"I think, to one extent or another, all of the Superman actors... There's some Venn diagram of our physical characteristics, which makes sense for a superhero who is classically the one who doesn't wear a mask," he added.
When it came to who inspired him most, Corenswet singled out the actor many consider the best live-action Superman. "I've listened to Christopher Reeve talk about how he felt going from theater and a classical training to wearing tights on screen. It's harder in some ways to play Superman and then to do a great play or a dramatic film, because as an actor, you feel like the seriousness of the work somehow supports you."
"It allows the whole thing to feel more grounded. There is a unique challenge to playing a guy who wears his underwear on the outside and can fly. I think I had the great fortune of getting a little bit of both," he continued. "I was definitely on team trunks-on-the-outside for this iteration of Superman, but I certainly felt James took the work very seriously."
