Lex Luthor Is "the Sole Hope for Humanity" in New TV Spots for SUPERMAN
We’ve got a couple of new promo spots for you to watch for James Gunn’s Superman, and they feature some pretty cool new footage!
We see Lex Luthor declare that he is “the sole hope for humanity,” and we also see an extended shot of Superman blasting away a bunch of Luthor's goons with his heat vision. There’s a few bits of other footage as well.
We also have updated box office forecasts, and it’s looking like the movie is set to take in a very respectable $130M-$170M over the course of its opening weekend, which would be great, especially if the movie is good.
"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."
The cast of Superman also includes David Corenswet as Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois, Skyler Gisondo as Clark’s best pal, Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce as The Daily Planet’s Perry White; Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl; Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl; and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.
It also stars Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific; Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampan as Eve Teschmacher; Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason, aka Metamorphosis; Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.; Neva Howell as Martha Kent; and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent.
