This New ‘Superman’ Spot Tells Us the Film’s Gonna Reduce to the Chase About Clark and Lois

There may lastly be a solution about whether or not or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is aware of if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is de facto the caped superhero in purple trunks, and it’s slipped into a fast teaser DC Studios simply unleashed for Superman.

Whereas earlier iterations of Superman’s love curiosity might have fallen for the glasses trick, the concept that being bespectacled may conceal the Man of Metal’s true identification has at all times been a ridiculous notion. Director James Gunn has seemingly side-stepped that in his upcoming DC Studios movie Superman.

Within the clip beneath Lane cuts to the chase saying, “Finally persons are going to seek out out that you simply’re Superman.” We like to see the Day by day Planet’s star reporter’s investigatory prowess getting all the way down to enterprise in terms of Metropolis’ caped hero being her boyfriend.

In earlier trailers you type of get the impression that she is aware of however this one confirms it. Now, what’s but to be seen is simply when it’s found out—or if she’s the one one not falling for the flimsy disguise. Kent responds to her query, “Yeah, however the glasses,” with a sure confidence that’s extra “Kal-El, god amongst us” than “farm boy turned massive metropolis journalist.”

Clearly, Lex Luthor is on his path too as he makes an attempt to dehumanize the hero as an alien risk, particularly focusing on his identification as a person—glasses or not. It stays to be seen if Clark Kent being outed as Superman goes to only be handled as a commonplace factor for this universe, a spot the place he’s removed from the one superhero.

Superman hits theaters July 11.
