Warner Bros. dropped a new sneak-peek teaser for James Gunns Superman on Thursday out of CinemaCon, and its mostly just the same trailer we saw back in December, with the same quick-cut looks at Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Guy worst haircut in the verse Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), a giant kaiju that might be Jimmy Olsen, and more. The difference is, theres an extra two minutes of footage that might just be the full theatrical cut of the sequence that follows after Superman crashlands in the snow near the Fortress of Solitude and its a long, agonizing two minutes.Worse, half of it is a grim comedy sequence where Krypto is torturing Superman and doesnt realize it. Hes just a good boy who wants to play by jumping all over the shattered, writhing body of his best friend. Supermans Fortress of Solitude robots also show up, and also kinda torture Superman, though much like Krypto, theyre just trying to help, even if that help leaves him screaming in pain.This is pretty classic James Gunn humor, seen throughout The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies dark, weird, boundary-pushing (most of us arent used to seeing Superman physically shattered, helpless, and spitting blood), and enough of a blend of tones that youre meant to struggle a bit with the response. David Corenswets performance as Superman in this scene is certainly designed to provoke sympathetic flinches.But after the internets ecstatic embrace of tail-wagging, cheerfully bouncing Krypto on screen, this scene is more than a little squirmy. Sure, Lex Luthor and other foes have beaten and broken Superman before, physically or emotionally. But watching him being hurt by a happy dog who loves him is an extra-cruel moment, and Gunn feeling that this was the scene to really sell people on the movie makes me wonder what else he has in store for the Big Blue Guy. Superman will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
