The footage showcases Superman's iconic dog, Krypto, and their heartwarming reunion. The scene also features Superman's Fortress of Solitude, where he is tended to by robots after being injured.

Speaking about his inspiration for the film, Gunn said at CinemaCon, "Back in 2018, I was first offered Superman, and I was like, 'Oh my god, that seems so cool...it seems hard.'

How can you take a character like that, perceived as old-fashioned by many, and make it for a modern audience?" as quoted by Deadline.

Gunn emphasized that the film celebrates kindness and human love, and said, "I want people to have that magical feeling when they come out of the movie, and they love the person they came with a little more than when they went in."

The film is set to hit theaters on July 11, marking the first DC Studios film under the new leadership of Peter Safran and James Gunn.

The footage looks amazing! I love that they're bringing Krypto into the mix 🐶. David Corenswet seems like he's going to be a fantastic Superman. Can't wait for July!

I appreciate Gunn's approach of focusing on kindness and human connection. After so many dark superhero movies, this might be exactly what we need. Though I'm still skeptical about the casting choice for Lex - Hoult seems too young?

Fortress of Solitude looks EPIC! The production design is on point. Also major props for releasing this right before Marvel's presentation - that's some bold DC energy 😎

While I'm excited for a new Superman movie, I hope they don't stray too far from what makes the character special. The last thing we need is another "deconstruction" of Superman. Sometimes heroes can just be heroic, you know?

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane is perfect casting! She's got that perfect mix of intelligence, toughness, and charm. This might be the first DC movie I've been genuinely excited about in years.
