A new promotional clip for the upcoming Superman film has sparked a wave of criticism and memes online. Director James Gunn defended the clip, stating that no computer-generated imagery was used on actor David Corenswet's face, but the internet remains divided over the look of Superman's eyes.
James Gunn , the director of the upcoming Superman film, faced a wave of criticism and internet memes after a new promotional clip showcasing the Man of Steel's flight was released. The 30-second clip, shared on Gunn's X account, depicted David Corenswet as Superman soaring through a frozen tundra. However, fans quickly focused on the appearance of Corenswet's eyes, deeming them disproportionately large and widely spaced.
Gunn vehemently defended the clip, assuring fans that no computer-generated imagery was used on Corenswet's face. He attributed the unusual appearance to the wide-angle lens used in the shot, stating that the background in Svalbard is 100% real, as is Corenswet. Despite Gunn's explanation, the clip sparked a deluge of memes, with fans photoshopping various faces onto Superman, including those of Steve Buscemi, Marty Feldman, Mr. Bean, and other characters known for their googly eyes. The internet's reaction also revealed a segment of fans loyal to Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman, expressing disappointment with the perceived downgrade in appearance. Some fans pleaded with Gunn to fix Superman's eyes, while others criticized the film's cinematography, particularly the use of wide-angle lenses that they felt distorted the characters' faces and made the flying shots look 'goofy.' This latest controversy adds another layer to the anticipation surrounding the new Superman film, which is scheduled for release on July 11th
