James Gunn’s Superman is out – watch it below.When the trailer begins, the iconic superhero is in a sticky situation, crash-landing somewhere cold and icy with his face bloody and bruised.There are just two spoken lines in the trailer, which pays tribute to the classic Superman movies enjoyed by generations while also bringing the character into a fresh era.

First, Superman whistles for his dog, Krypto, and says, simply, “Home – take me home,” to the trusty canine.

Explaining that Krypto’s inclusion was inspired by his own dog, Ozu, who he adopted shortly after beginning work on the movie, he said: “Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least.
