But that wasn’t enough for Gunn to entice audiences; we were treated to another teaser trailer, this time for the actual trailer itself, which already showed some of the characters in the Daily Bugle we are set to meet in the film.

Gunn has also explained that rather than the “outwardly comedic” elements his previous superhero movies have had (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Suicide Squad”), “Superman” is set to be a more grounded, dramatic depiction of the beloved DC character.

Speaking to The Wrap, Gunn said: “It’s trying to create something that is grounded, but also it’s an incredibly fanciful world, it’s fantasy, it’s taking from other things like ‘Game of Thrones,’ where it’s this universe where superheroes actually exist.”

We also have somewhat of a synopsis regarding the film, with Forbes detailing the film as: “James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humour and heart, delivering a SUPERMAN who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.”
