Summary

  • Superman test screening reaction claims that it will be enjoyed by anyone, including those who do not read the comics.
  • The film reportedly features lighthearted moments but is not a comedy.
  • The early Superman screening report compared it to Wonder Woman and Guardians of the Galaxy.

There’s a lot of excitement building around James Gunn’s anticipated Superman movie. This upcoming production has been generating buzz on various social media networks, particularly after rumors surfaced that it was based on information from an individual who recently watched a test screening.

Superman marks the first film in the DC Universe since Gunn and Safran assumed their roles as co-CEOs and co-chairmen of DC Studios. Fans are excited for this movie given that Gunn is directing it, known for his unique blend of heartfelt, character-driven storytelling, showcased in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad. The filmmaker intends to give the upcoming superhero movie a timeless and inspiring feel. With an impressive cast and Gunn’s clear vision, audiences eagerly await a remarkable cinematic experience. However, some earlier reports about the movie may be inaccurate, as suggested by a Reddit post.

A fresh update on the Reddit thread DCU Leaks discusses an updated version of the enigmatic adventures in the Mod Queue about the Superman film screening. The information was allegedly sourced from a user who claims they attended the Superman screening, although this information should be viewed with caution as it’s unconfirmed. Here are some intriguing details:

-The user stated that Superman is not a comedy but contains humorous moments throughout the film.
-Much of what was shown in the trailer appears to have been drawn from the early part of the movie, indicating there may be more storyline hidden from viewers.
-There were reportedly numerous inaccuracies about the movie’s plot, suggesting that earlier speculations were off the mark.
-Krypto the Superdog is said to play a substantial role in the film, while Rick Flagg Sr. will make a brief appearance. However, there were no hints of Creature Commandos.
-Amanda Waller is expected to have a cameo, but her screen time will be minimal and may be easy to miss.

According to reports, Nicholas Hoult delivered a standout portrayal of Lex Luthor. He had two sidekicks who kept up with his intensity, but they weren’t strictly necessary. The main storyline revolved around Clark (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). However, it should be noted that the source is a big fan of Brosnahan’s series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, so their opinion might be biased. The source isn’t particularly invested in DC, so they may have overlooked some hidden references. Nevertheless, they found that the show, titled Superman, would appeal to any audience, even those unfamiliar with DC comics.

The movie “Superman” might contain some humorous scenes but isn’t a full-on comedy, similar to how Jeff Sneider described the film as having a joking tone like “Guardians of the Galaxy” from the MCU. This could be good news since “Superman” generally shouldn’t be comedic. Initially, it was thought one of Lex Luthor’s companions might have been Ultraman based on previous footage, but it seems now that they are not significant characters, so it’s unlikely to be Ultraman in the film.

It’s interesting to note that the source didn’t bring up Supergirl. However, it’s rumored that Milly Alcock’s portrayal of Supergirl will debut in the upcoming film. This aligns well since her standalone movie is set for release a year after this one. In addition, early test screenings have drawn comparisons to Wonder Woman and Guardians of the Galaxy, both highly successful films. Given their success, this comparison suggests that Superman could also be a hit. Let’s wait and see!

Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
