The man of steel arrives, in one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year.

The upcoming Superman movie, part of the new DC Universe, features a fresh take on the character and world, with David Corenswet taking on the role of Superman. It’s a reboot, separate from the previous DCEU, and is the first film in the new DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The movie includes nods to Superman’s history, with cameos and details referencing past comics and stories. 

Here are some interesting facts about the new Superman film:

• Reboot of the DC Universe:This movie is the first in a new DC Universe, separate from the previous DCEU (which included films like Man of Steel and Aquaman). 
• David Corenswet as Superman:The film stars David Corenswet as Superman, marking a new era for the character on screen. 
• James Gunn’s Vision:Director James Gunn has spoken about his approach to the character, including his decision to keep Superman’s iconic red trunks, after actor David Corenswet argued they made the character less intimidating according to Screen Brief. 
• Cameos and Easter Eggs:The film includes cameos from Will Reeve, son of the late Christopher Reeve, as a news reporter, and Michael and James Larson, grandsons of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, as Daily Planet employees. See how many more you can see.
• Focus on Humanity:The movie aims to portray Superman as relatable and approachable, even with his incredible powers. 

So excited for this film and absolutely love the dog. James Gunn is a genius at adding cute characters to his films that also have depth of character (Rocket for instance, Guardians of the Galaxy) Just because they are cute, doesn’t mean they have to be fluffy.

You can see the film in local cinemas from Friday.
