A new look at the upcoming Superman movie has been released. The new DC Universe will soon see the release of its first film, and Warner Bros. Discovery has a lot depending on Superman‘s success. Director James Gunn previously talked about how the movie’s performance will reveal whether his plans for the DCU’s Chapter One and beyond make it to the big and small screens. While a first teaser trailer has been publicly revealed, showing the first look at David Corenswet’s Superman and more iconic DC characters in action, a new exclusive look has now been shared.

At CinemacCon, where ScreenRant is in attendance, new footage from James Gunn’s Superman has been revealed, and it features the hero being healed. The sequence continues the moment seen in the teaser trailer where Krypto saves the Man of Steel by carrying him to the Fortress of Solitude. Aside from Superman being healed by automatons and the power of the sun, the footage jumps around to show other characters from Superman‘s large cast before going to Clark Kent and Lois Lane in an intimate moment and ending with Superman taking flight. Check out the Superman movie footage description below:

The Superman movie footage begins with a couple sH๏τs of snow and ice, and then Superman crashing down. He’s wheezing, bleeding, and can’t move. Then he whistles very loudly. We can see Krypto in the distance running towards Superman. He gets there and keeps bumping into Superman, who begs Krypto to stop, because he’s in pain. “Krypto, take me home. Home”

Krypto barks and runs around, grabs Superman’s cape and begins dragging him. In the distance, we see the ice break out from the ground — the Fortress of Solitude. Krypto barks and the door (which has Superman’s emblem on it) opens. Multiple bots come running, “Superman!” They carry Superman into an OR-type room, which beams the sun down on him. As they carry him, he thanks the bots. “We mere automatons are here to serve,” one responds. Superman looks at one of them and that bot says, “Oh he looked at me!”

We then see a couple of sH๏τs from the trailer, but then a scene in a living room with Lois and Clark. The conversation teases that she might know his secret idenтιтy. We see several sH๏τs of all the superheroes in the movie, including Hawkgirl flying and Guy Gardner using his ring/powers. The trailer ends with Krypto whining in the background and Superman then flying away from the Fortress.

What The New Superman Movie Footage Reveals

James Gunn’s Signature Style Makes Itself Present

Gunn has become well-known for his use of humor and emotion in superhero movies and TV shows. The director often manages to strike a great balance between both, though most of his superhero work is traditionally more comedy-oriented. While the first teaser trailer for Superman made the movie look more serious, it seems like Gunn’s style will be present, with plenty of comedic bits scattered throughout. That makes sense for a character like Superman, whose light-heartedness makes him who he is. Krypto seems to be a major source of those lighter moments.

The new Superman movie footage also showcases another instance of that, with the robots who heal Superman at the Fortress of Solitude being starstruck in the hero’s presence. There are also a lot of action beats in the footage, with heroes like Hawkgirl and the Green Lantern Guy Gardner using their powers. Gunn has talked about how the Clark Kent/Lois Lane relationship is crucial to the film, as must be the case in any iconic Superman story. The new footage from the DCU’s first movie highlights their chemistry and shows how Lois might know Clark’s secret.

Our Take On The New Superman Movie Footage

The DCU’s First Film Has A Lot Going On

I enjoyed the details from the new Superman movie footage. I’m a fan of Gunn’s brand of humor, and I believe that moments of levity like those seen in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise are perfect for the Man of Steel. With Krypto shown to cause messes and more, I feel like this genuinely could be a fun DC movie. The action moments feel pretty epic in scope, and I can’t wait to understand how all the heroes factor into the plot. The Clark Kent and Lois Lane moment seems emotional, and their chemistry can make Superman fly high.
