After much rumor, the Superman trailer is confirmed to be dropping Thursday, But we do have several teasers for you to take a look at. That includes a little snippet of the theme tune and boy am I excited about that. First off James Gunn confirmed that Thursday will see the trailer released to the public.

We also have an Instagram Motion poster Here. This one does give us a glimpse of the theme music, but there is a better version below for the music.
What I love most about this theme is that it uses clear influence from John Williams iconic theme and for me, that simply cannot be bettered. Hearing that music makes me more hyped for this film that the trailer will on Thursday, that’s for sure.
Meanwhile, speaking with Comicbook.com, James Gunn explained the decision to change the title form the original Superman: Legacy, to Superman.

“I still think it has that aspect of ‘Legacy’ in it. We do this thing called the ‘pre-mortem’ before we started shooting. You ever hear of this? It’s great,” Gunn shared with ComicBook during a Superman set visit. “We go into a room with me and all the department heads and we say, ‘Let’s say this movie is a colossal f-ck-up. We find out two years from now when this movie comes out, it goes terribly wrong. What are we doing right now that we’re not talking about, that we’re doing this, making this movie wrong?’”
He continued, “It gives a chance for all of the parties involved to speak their mind, whether it’s about the script, whether it’s about the casting, whether it’s about how departments aren’t communicating with each other. Everybody is allowed, from transportation to whatever, they’re all allowed to say what they think. And I found it extremely helpful.”

“One of the things was, I thought maybe the title … had a looking back feeling about it, and this isn’t about looking back, this is about looking forward,” the filmmaker detailed. “When you see the movie, you’ll understand where ‘Legacy’ comes from because it is, again, it’s about Clark and his relationship to the script … and whose legacy is he, really? And so it’s about that. But I think as a title … it felt too looking back.”
Can’t wait to see some actual footage of this on Thursday. There are leaked descriptions out there folks, but I haven’t read them yet. Rather wait till Thursday and see for myself.
