After Watching the 'Superman' Sneak Peek, I'm Convinced James Gunn Is Already Nailing an Underrated Aspect of the DC Hero
The sneak peak of James Gunn's Superman highlights that David Corenswet understands a key concept of the Man of Steel's character.
James Gunn's Supermanwill mark the release of a brand-new vision of the DC Universe on film, and a new take on the Man of Steel thanks to David Corenswet. Recently, fans got to see a snippet of Superman thanks to a special sneak peek attached to screenings of A Minecraft Movie, with said sneak peek dropping onto the internet as well. Superman is shown crashing to Earth, wounded by a mysterious figure. He calls on Krypto the Superdog to take him to the Fortress of Solitude, where the robots who maintain the Fortress expose him to a concentrated dose of sunlight to speed up the healing process. While this reveals that Gunn is aiming to tackle the science fiction underpinnings of the Superman mythos — and underlines his claims that Krypto is a loose cannon of a pet — it also highlights a key aspect of Superman that I think bodes well for the film.
