New Era of DCU

According to Variety, Superman: Legacy marks the first chapter in the new DCU cinematic universe called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Directed by James Gunn and produced by Peter Safran, the film is inspired by the All-Star Superman comic book and takes audiences into a world where people are fully aware of the existence of superheroes.

However, this world is plunged into chaos with civil war, alien invasion, and Lex Luthor's evil plot. These events push humanity to the brink of destruction, causing people to lose faith, even attack Superman because he cannot protect them from tragedy.

Reaction from audience and experts

Under the trailer, many viewers expressed their excitement. Nickname @eliothillis535 shared: "I've never been excited about Superman movies before, but this one brings me back to my childhood. The trailer really touches my heart." Another account, @YaBoyMirage, commented that director James Gunn wanted to convey the message "Kindness in a world that has lost kindness."

Despite receiving many compliments on the image and message, many opinions are still cautious, saying that the most attractive points are often only in the trailer. They expect to have to wait for the movie to be released in theaters to have an accurate assessment.

Crew and Cast

James Gunn not only directed but also wrote the script for Superman: Legacy. According to Gunn, the film will delve into Superman's life as Clark Kent, when he worked as a reporter at The Daily Planet.

The film also marks a major change in the DCU's cast. David Corenswet, who is 1.93m tall, was cast as Superman, replacing Henry Cavill, who had been associated with the character for many years. The decision to cast the young actor was made in late 2022 and received mixed reactions.

While DC fans supported Corenswet because of his appearance similar to the comic book version from the 1930s, Henry Cavill fans regretted the actor's departure.

The greatest superhero of all time

Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 on April 18, 1938, telling the origin story of the character – an alien boy who came to Earth and fell in love with Lois Lane. Superman quickly became an American cultural icon, associated with many films, comic books, and a series of related products.

According to Numbers, the total revenue from Superman movies exceeded 2.5 billion USD, the highest of which was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) with 874 million USD.

With Superman: Legacy, James Gunn promises to deliver a fresh, unique story that combines creativity and loyalty to the character's legacy.
