‘Superman’ Trailer Reportedly Falls Short; Gunn Demands A Rework!

by

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt and countless hours spent in the world of DC comics games, I can confidently say that I am more than ready for the “Superman” trailer to drop. The anticipation is palpable, especially considering the recent revelations about Warner Bros.’ internal pressure to deliver a hit.

The upcoming summer season is set to be known as “Superman’s Summer” since the first live-action DCU movie featuring Superman will be released in theaters. By tracking the filming process in Georgia and Ohio, we’ve gathered plenty of interesting insights about the production.

As a gaming enthusiast eagerly waiting for the upcoming movie, I can’t help but gather tidbits about its plot from leaks, whispers, and James Gunn‘s own words. Some fans have voiced their concerns over the film’s budget-friendly appearance, but the anticipation is undeniable, especially with the promise of the first official trailer. Gunn himself refers to it as “the genuine beginning of the DC Universe.

Lately, Gunn hinted (or made a light-hearted comment) that he has a ‘Superman’ trailer saved on his computer, and there are whispers that it might be released as early as the end of this month, December.

Actor Frank Grillo, set to portray Rick Flag Sr., has expressed his enthusiasm over the trailer, claiming it left him feeling exhilarated, even describing it as “fiery” after viewing it. His comments suggest the trailer is now available, however, there’s a twist: the release of the trailer does not guarantee the movie itself will be out soon.

Dan Marcus, both writer and director, revealed that they displayed a near-completed trailer to Michael De Luca from Warner Bros. Discovery. His response? “Improve it further.

It seems that each trailer requires numerous edits, so the person who edited the current trailer submitted a near-final version to the studio several weeks back. However, the studio wasn’t satisfied and asked for improvements. I wouldn’t fancy being in the marketing team right now…

He explained that the trailer editor showed the studio a nearly finished version weeks ago, but the studio wasn’t happy and requested changes. He also pointed out that the marketing department has recently been reduced, making things more difficult.

It seems that Washington DC Studios operates independently, but when it comes to marketing, that’s still under the jurisdiction of Warner Bros., who handles promotion for all their films.

It’s been rumored (so keep in mind it might not be entirely accurate), but it seems that Warner Bros. has a marketing team responsible for editing all materials, such as trailers. During the review process, a cut of the trailer was shown to Michael De Luca, who responded with “Make it even better.
