The new film, which is just called Superman, will see David Corenswet take up the mantle of the Man of Steel as DC Studios looks to reboot its movie output under the vision of Gunn. The first snippet was shared on Thursday (19 December) and sees Corenswet in action for the first time as the Last Son of Krypton.
Although the trailer doesn’t give much away about the story nearly all the key characters are shown including Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillon), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Mr Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
However, the one character that everyone is talking about is Krypto the Superdog, Superman’s pet dog, who has many of the same powers as his owner. In the trailer, Krypto is seen rescuing Superman as he’s seen lying bloodied in the snow, presumably near Superman’s base in the Arctic, otherwise known as the Fortress of Solitude.
Gunn wrote in his post about the trailer: “Here you go: the Superman trailer. Krypto, take us home.”. Soon enough Krypto’s name was trending, with many fans expressing their delight at seeing the four legged friend in the teaser trailer. Clerks and Mallrats director, Kevin Smith said: “Good boy, Krypto! Great boy, @JamesGunn!”.
