Today is Superman Day — apparently the very first issue of Action Comics went on sale on April 18, 1938 — and so there is a new video hyping this summer’s upcoming Superman film from writer/director James Gunn.
This isn’t really a trailer; more of a behind-the-scenes featurette, showing Gunn working on set with the crew and stars David Corenswet (Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), and more. It also has a bunch of footage of some of the other DC Comics heroes who appear in the film, including Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl and Anthony Carrigan’s Metamorpho — who looks eerily like the version of the character from comics. Although … is he wearing … ratty gym shorts? (Metamorpho typically wears black briefs with a non-functional belt with an “M” on it, just in case he forgets how to spell his name.)
There are also interviews with several cast members, and you get a good look at some of the practical props as well. I want a high five from one of those Fortress of Solitude robots.
You can watch the Superman Day Superman featurette below:

These movies may have featured some of the biggest superheroes in history, but they were also big flops.
