The new Superman movie is set to release in July, but a recent promotional clip has sparked controversy and internet memes. Director James Gunn defended the clip, stating that there was no CGI used on actor David Corenswet's face, but fans remain divided.
James Gunn , the director of the upcoming Superman film, defended a new promotional clip that sparked a wave of internet memes and criticism from fans. The 30-second clip, shared on Gunn's X account on Monday, depicted Superman, played by David Corenswet, flying through a frozen tundra. Many fans commented on the appearance of Corenswet's eyes, finding them disproportionately large and far apart, describing the shot as 'goofy.
' \Gunn responded to the concerns, assuring fans that there was no computer-generated imagery (CGI) used on Corenswet's face. He explained that the wide-angle lens used in the shot can distort facial features and that both the background plate in Svalbard and Corenswet were 100% real. Despite Gunn's explanation, the clip ignited a frenzy of memes, with fans photoshopping various faces onto Superman, including those of Steve Buscemi, Marty Feldman, Mr. Bean, and Crazy Eyes. \Some fans expressed disappointment with the visual aspect of the clip, comparing it unfavorably to Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman in previous films. They pleaded with Gunn to adjust Superman's eyes, emphasizing the importance of a believable and captivating visual representation. The first trailer for the film, released in December, was overshadowed by the unexpected star power of Krypto, Superman's dog. In the trailer, Krypto played a crucial role in rescuing Superman from a perilous situation in an icy landscape. The adorable canine's heroic actions left a lasting impression on viewers, with many praising Krypto as the highlight of the trailer
