A new clip from James Gunn’s highly anticipated film Superman has surfaced, offering fans a glimpse into the dynamic and thought-provoking narrative that awaits. The clip, shared by DiscussingFilm on X, captures a moment of intriguing discussion within the bustling newsroom of the Daily Planet, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Superman’s impact on Metropolis and beyond.
Key Moments from the Clip
- Setting the Scene: The clip opens in the familiar chaos of the Daily Planet, where reporters and editors are hard at work. Clark, Lois, and Jimmy are the focal point of this scene.
- Clark Kent’s Perspective: David Corenswet, portraying Clark Kent, is seen engaging in a conversation that hints at the internal and external conflicts he faces. You can tell that he is annoyed with where the conversation is going.
- Jimmy Olsen played by Skyler Gisondo: delivers a pointed critique of Superman’s recent actions, questioning the ramifications of his interventions. His dialogue, “22 people in the hospital, over $20 million in property damage, it does make you wonder as great as he is, maybe Superman didn’t think through the ramifications,” sparks a debate on responsibility and accountability. He even goes into talking about how the Hammer of Boravia kicked Supermans A**, with Clark commenting “he didn’t…”
- Jimmy The Ladies Man: This was short but James Gunn has done it again. He has displayed a comic accurate version of Jimmy Olsen being an absolute legend with the ladies. You see two woman flaunting over him even commenting “he’s so fine” when talking about him.
Final Thoughts
A lot of things are being said about James Gunn’s Superman at this point, including that we have seen too much of this film before it has even come out in theaters. That they are showing too many trailers and teasers before the actual release of the movie. Now what people have a problem with this clip is that Superman is being bashed in front of Clark and he is just “taking it”. Much of the tension with this movie is coming from people comparing Corenswet to Cavill. Naturally the only way to see how they really compare is when the movie comes out on July 11, 2025.
