It starts off with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) asking as Clark Kent (David Corenswet) if he is okay with her interviewing him as Superman. The reporter grills him on the questions, and he’s upset at her because he just wants to save people and do good. It later cuts to all the mayhem and action, including a part where Lex Luthor and the Engineer infiltrate Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

The trailer does a good job of capturing what Superman represents, and Corenswet isn’t taking the job lightly.

“I thought, ‘Well, how could it possibly get better than this?’” Corenswet tells Nerd Reactor about getting the part of Superman. “And then James brought together such a great crew of people and a cast of actors that I had the same experience of like how can it be this good and also on how it’s such an amazing film – something that’s going to be seen by so many people and it means so much to so many people.”

During the Superman Teaser Trailer Preview on Monday at Warner Bros. Studios, I had the chance to chat with David Corenswet, who is tasked with portraying the Man of Steel.

“It’s certainly ****ing crazy,” David Corenswet told me about his journey from Netflix’s Hollywood to DC Studios’ Superman. “I mean unexpected. Hard to believe still. Hollywood was such a great experience, like such a great crew and cast and everything.”

The actor knows how much the DC hero means to a lot of people, and he’s not taking his role lightly.

“I thought, ‘Well, how could it possibly get better than this?'” Corenswet continued. “And then James brought together such a great crew of people and a cast of actors that I had the same experience of like how can it be this good and also on how it’s such an amazing film – something that’s going to be seen by so many people and it means so much to so many people.”

Corenswet comes from a long line of actors who have portrayed the DC icon including George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill and more.

The teaser trailer gives us a lot of information, but the story is still vague. Aside from Superman, Lois and Lex, we see Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Jimmy Olsen, and more. We do know that there are threats, and there are people who love Superman and those who are protesting the Man of Steel himself. Also, the tribute to John Williams’ iconic theme is a nice touch.

The DC Universe currently has shows available including Creature Commandos and Peacemaker. After Superman, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will debut in 2026.

Twisters follows Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a former storm chaser who traded tornado hunting for a safer life in New York City. After a traumatic tornado encounter in college, she studies storm patterns from a desk. Her routine changes when her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) convinces her to return to Oklahoma to test a new tracking system for storms. She meets Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) in Oklahoma, a reckless social media star known for dangerous storm chasing. The clash between Kate’s cautious, scientific approach and Tyler’s thrill-seeking bravado adds depth and intrigue to the film.

From the outset, Chung’s direction ensures that Twisters is a spectacle of nature’s fury and a deeply personal journey for its characters. Moreover, the character development throughout the film is excellent. Edgar-Jones portrays Kate’s evolution from a haunted, withdrawn academic to a courageous stormchaser with nuance and depth, capturing the emotional toll of her journey. Meanwhile, Glen Powell’s Tyler Owens perfectly contrasts Kate, as his reckless enthusiasm masks a genuine desire to make a difference.

Twisters is more than just a disaster movie; it is a tale of redemption, courage, and the unyielding human spirit’s will to survive.

As the film progresses, the competing storm-chasing teams, led by Kate and Tyler, must learn to navigate their differences and collaborate to survive. This potent theme of unity in the face of overwhelming odds runs throughout the film, inspiring a sense of hope and resilience in the audience. The tension between Kate and Tyler gradually transforms into mutual respect and understanding, adding an emotional layer to the high-stakes action and reinforcing the power of unity.

Anthony Ramos’s Javi also provides much-needed levity and bridges Kate and Tyler’s contrasting worlds. His performance adds depth to the narrative, showcasing the camaraderie and rivalry within the storm-chasing community.

The visual effects in the movie are genuinely spectacular. They vividly depict the destructive power of nature, making it thrilling and terrifying to watch. Much like the original Twister, this film will leave you in awe of nature’s might. At the same time, the cinematography captures tornadoes’ awe-inspiring and startling beauty, immersing the audience in the heart of the storm. As storm season intensifies, the film makes you feel right there amid the action.

Overall, Twisters is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good adventure film. It combines heart-pounding action with a compelling narrative and richly developed characters. At the same time, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell deliver standout performances. Whether you’re a fan of the original or simply enjoy a well-told story of human resilience, Twisters will leave you breathless.

Rating: 4/5 atoms

About Superman

The film was originally titled Superman Legacy, but after finishing the script, writer/director James Gunn felt it was more appropriate to call it Superman. The DC film will start the new DC Universe. Additionally, it will be separate from the DC Extended Universe (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League).

Synopsis: Superman Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

It stars David Corenswet (Netflix’s Hollywood) as Clark Kent / Superman and Rachel Brosnahan (Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane. Joining them are Isabela Merced (Madame Webb) as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion (Fox’s Firefly) as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan (HBO’s Barry) as Rex Mason / Metamorpho, Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica / The Engineer, Skyler Gisondo (Licorice Pizza) as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) as Lex Luthor.
