David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, DC Studios head Peter Safran and director James Gunn are in Manila to kick off the world tour of the new Superman movie.
“To see such enthusiasm from Filipino fans… I’m just so happy that you are the first people that we get to share the movie with,” Corenswet said.
Superman is DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen. In his signature style, Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart.
Superman/Clark Kent (Corenswet) embodies truth and justice. He gives hope for a better world despite having an unshakeable sense of duty as the Man of Steel.
“To have a character as good as his heart in a world that isn’t always nice is incredible. I think he’s the type of guy that we need in this world today,” Gunn said.
Joining Corenswet and Brosnahan in the movie are Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell.
Superman, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, soars into theaters and IMAX nationwide on 9 July.
