First Trailer For DC's Animated Film Adaptation of SUPERMAN: RED SON
Warner Bros. has shared the first trailer for its animated film adaption of Mark Millar's 2003 famed Elseworlds tale Superman: Red Son. The story explores what would have happened if Superman had crash-landed in the Soviet Union and been raised there.
If you’re a fan of the DC animated films, then you’ll like what you see here. It’s the same quality that we’ve seen from their past films. I’m a big fan of this story, and I’m sure this will be a good adaptation of it. This is the synopsis:
“Imagine a reality where the world’s most powerful super-being does not grow up in Smallville, Kansas – or even America, for that matter…
Superman: Red Son is a vivid tale of Cold War paranoia, that reveals how the ship carrying the infant who would later be known as Superman lands in the midst of the 1950s Soviet Union. Raised on a collective, the infant grows up and becomes a symbol to the Soviet people, and the world changes drastically from what we know – bringing Superman into conflict with Batman, Lex Luthor and many others.”
The cast of the film includes Jason Isaacs (Batman: Under the Red Hood) as Superman; Diedrich Bader (American Housewife) as Lex Luthor; Amy Acker (The Gifted) as Lois Lane; Vanessa Marshall (Star Wars Rebels) as Wonder Woman; Phil Morris (Doom Patrol) as James Olsen; Paul Williams (Goliath) as Brainiac; Sash Roiz (Grimm); Phil LaMarr (Supergirl) as Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart; Roger Graig Smith (Arkham Origins) as Batman; Travis Willingham (Batman: Bad Blood) will voice John F. Kennedy and Russia's Superior Man, while William Sayers (Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders) will voice Joseph Stalin, and Ave Zoli will voice Svetlana.
Superman: Red Son was directed by Sam Liu (Justice League vs. The Fatal Five, Reign of the Supermen) from a script by J.M. DeMatteis (Justice League Dark). It will be released on DVD/Blu-ray and digital download in early 2020.
