Marketing for Superman is kicking into high gear as the film's X/Twitter account has shared footage from the press tour's first stop in Manila, the capital and second-most populous city of the Philippines.

It looks like it was a sun-up-to-sun-down celebration, and the fans definitely had a ton of energy and enthusiasm for the upcoming James Gunn-directed film.

Superman hits North American theaters on July 8th and the Philippines on the 9th.

Advance press screenings are slated for June 25. First reactions go live on July 7th, with Warner Bros. permitting full-blown reviews on July 8th. Prime Video is also holding special advanced screenings for Prime members on July 8.

James Gunn has also shared a behind-the-scenes look at Lois Lane piloting Mr. Terrific's T-Craft, while Superman lounges in the back.

Superman is set to soar into theaters next month and officially launch the cinematic side of James Gunn’s reimagined DC Universe.

Originally titled Superman: Legacy, the film is both written and directed by Gunn, and serves as the foundation for the next era of DC storytelling.

Leading the cast is David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Kal-El, stepping into the iconic cape. He’s joined by Rachel Brosnahan as fearless journalist Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the brilliant and menacing Lex Luthor.

The film also introduces several key DC heroes, with Nathan Fillion as the hot-headed Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as the winged warrior Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as the genius strategist Mister Terrific.

Additional cast members include Sean Gunn as scheming businessman Maxwell Lord, María Gabriela de Faría as the cybernetically enhanced Angela Spica (aka The Engineer), and Terence Rosemore as Otis. Wendell Pierce will portray Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White, while Sara Sampaio takes on the role of Eve Teschmacher.

Anthony Carrigan plays Metamorpho, the shape-shifting Element Man, and Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell appear as Jonathan and Martha Kent, Clark’s adoptive Earth parents.

Also making her debut is Milly Alcock as Supergirl, who will appear ahead of her own upcoming solo film, Supergirl.

With a packed roster of characters and a fresh creative vision, Superman promises to set the tone for a bold new era of the DC Universe.

Look it up guys. "Pinoy baiting"

I cringe that Gunn had to do this but the end justifies the means i guess 😅

@vectorsigma - Those baitings have been going on for a decade now.

It was probably a conversation with the organizers to do it.

@MGSSnake1988 - i never doubted this was premeditated by the marketing team.

The country is the center of social media attention seeking in the world.

But as ive said, whatever it takes to make this movie a big success

@vectorsigma - Unless the film can be the highest grossing film of the Philippines, which is highly unlikely since it has to beat Avengers: Endgame and most of the rom coms in the list.

Plus, there are no local celebrities invited, as they all attended a rom com instead. A weird choice, considering the Filipino film industry's urgency to copy the films of the United States and South Korea is high, and they aren't into Superman.

@XKnight - Don't underestimate those cosplayers, though. It's the first DC film to premiere here in the Philippines.

Waiting for this event to happen, but sadly didn't make it. Loved the Mall of Asia, and was excited to come since it's the DCU's launch but didn't make pass the registration at Warner Bros.'s website.

Well, at least it opened possibilities for any future DC / Marvel film to premiere in the Philippines.

@McMurdo - Second week box office will be drastically different from the first week. Also dc movies usually get panned by critics unless it’s Batman. History will repeat itself no doubt.
