Another glimpse at James Gunn’s Superman just dropped — and this time things aren’t looking so great for the hero. While previous looks at the movie had a more inspirational tone, the latest has the Man of Steel defending his heroic actions in an interview with Lois Lane. There’s clearly going to be some conflict here between what Superman is trying to do and how the world perceives him. Also, Lex Luthor is here, and is appropriately menacing.
Gunn is leading the Superman reboot as writer and director, making it his first major project since taking over as co-CEO of DC Studios. (It’s also not his only project in the work for 2025, as the next season of Peacemaker hits Max in August.) The cast of characters includes Superman (David Corenswet), Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion).
Superman hits theaters on July 11th.
