The footage reveals our first official look at, well, everything really. From David Corenswet’s Clark Kent and Superman, to Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, to the assortment of other DC heroes that will be involved, the Superman trailer gives us just enough to know that, yes, it looks like Gunn may have nailed it. “Hokey smokes. Okay, take my money,” demands X/Twitter user @BibChr, with @SweetCarmel77 won over by what they’ve seen, adding, “I’ve been very skeptical but this looks very interesting!

For example, @shuttjo22 expresses his reservations, stating, “I’ll definitely watch it, but I can’t help feeling like this is a step down from Henry Cavill. It reminds me of Brandon Routh and Superman Returns. I hope I’m wrong.” Meanwhile, @cimerians has expressed his disillusionment, saying, “I feel these things would be better off in comic books,” and @vjv02 shares his disappointment, commenting, “It seems all over the place; I expected more, to be honest.
