Washington [US], December 19 : Finally, the wait is over as the makers unveiled the trailer for 'Superman', written and directed by James Gunn. The movie is a reboot of the Superman film series.
The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell.
In the trailer, Superman looks injured, bloody and bruised in a frozen landscape. He looked tired and then he saw hope on the horizon in the form of his trusty friend, Krypto. "Take me home," Superman says to his canine friend, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

During a trailer launch event, Gunn was asked how he incorporated the decency Superman can represent for America and the rest of the world into the movie.
"I think that's what 'Take me home is all about," Gunn said, adding, "We do have sort of a battered vision of Superman at the beginning, and I think that is our country. I believe in the goodness of human beings, and I believe that most people in this country, despite their ideological beliefs or their politics, are doing their best to get by and trying to be good people, despite what it may seem like for the other side, no matter what that other side might be."
"It's like when you get a nice haircut, and you forget about it, but then you walk around and everybody's like, 'Whoa, you look great, for once!," he said. "I got to see other people see Superman."
The trailer also gave glimpses of the other superheroes in that world, including Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner/Green Lantern (dopey haircut and all), Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl and Edi Gathegi's Mr Terrific, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Talking about the canine scene in the trailer, Gunn shared, "He's not nearly the best dog. There's a lot more to Krypto than you see in this trailer."
As for the themes of the movie, Gunn said, "It's a movie about kindness," as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Gunn's "Superman," formerly titled "Superman: Legacy," will hit theatres on July 11. It's the first film released under the new DC Studios overseen by Gunn and Peter Safran.
The cast also includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Maria Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer. The ensemble includes Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Sean Gunn, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced, and Nathan Fillion.
