00:00We're getting a closer look at James Gunn's Superman with the debut of its first trailer.
00:13The hero is at a low point when audiences first glimpse him in the trailer for the new
00:17movie.
00:18Bloody and bruised, he crash lands in a frozen landscape.
00:22Trailer footage features minimal dialogue, although the music and series of shots embodies
00:26an epic in the making.
00:28For Gunn, it's also hope towards the future of DC.
00:32Created in 1939, Superman for decades embodied his motto, truth, justice, and the American
00:37way, with the character serving as a symbol for the good things America could represent
00:41for the world.
00:42During a trailer launch event for the press on Monday, Gunn was asked how he incorporated
00:47what Superman can represent for America and the rest of the world into the movie.
00:51I think that's what Take Me Home is all about.
00:54We do have sort of a battered vision of Superman at the beginning, and I think that is our
00:58country.
00:59I believe in the goodness of human beings, and I believe that most people in this country,
01:03despite their ideological beliefs or their politics, are doing their best to get by and
01:07trying to be good people, despite what it may seem like for the other side, no matter
01:12what that other side might be.
01:17Superman arrives July 11th as the first solo movie for the character since 2013's Man of
01:22Steel.
01:23The trailer also gives glimpses of the other superheroes in that world, including Nathan
01:27Fillion's Guy Gardner slash Green Lantern, Isabella Merced's Hawkgirl, and Eddie Gathegi's
01:33Mr. Terrific.
