Superman reportedly has a Star Wars-like opening crawl at the start of the movie.
In just under a month, Superman will make his appearance in American cinemas. This upcoming film, penned and directed by James Gunn, is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios. The lead roles include David Corenswet portraying the main character, Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Although Creature Commandos marked the initial venture in Gunn and Safran’s DC Universe, Superman will be the debut movie within their new interconnected universe. Unlike a typical origin tale, this universe already features superheroes living among us from the start.
What do we know about the opening of Superman?
At a Superman press conference held in Brazil, it’s reported that the beginning of the upcoming movie might resemble the start of the 1977 Star Wars film. It’s uncertain if this implies an actual scrolling text or simply informative text; nonetheless, it appears there will be some on-screen explanations to establish the DC Universe context.
