Fans of Superman have a unique opportunity to attend an exclusive James Gunn Superman IMAX screening ahead of the official release, as Collider and Warner Bros. Pictures invite readers to a special event in Los Angeles on July 8. With anticipation high for this fresh take on the iconic hero, moviegoers can see David Corenswet don the cape in stunning IMAX before the film’s nationwide debut on July 11.
Experience Superman in IMAX Before Its Theatrical Release
This advanced screening offers a rare occasion for enthusiasts to witness the world of Superman in vivid clarity, prior to public showings. David Corenswet stars as Kryptonian Kal-El, journeying from his roots in Smallville, Kansas, to his life in Metropolis as Clark Kent. As he balances living among humans and embracing the responsibilities of a superhero, audiences will see how Clark’s unwavering values lead him to protect humankind, even when his noble efforts attract trouble.
Superman’s rising fame puts him on a collision course with tech magnate Lex Luthor, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult. With Luthor turning his resources against Superman, Clark Kent must rely on the bravery of Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan, along with Krypto the Superdog and a team of superhumans, to take on this formidable threat. The film explores not only dramatic showdowns but also the emotional journey of its central characters, making the IMAX presentation an immersive experience.
The ensemble cast also features Wendell Pierce from “The Wire,” Skyler Gisondo from “The Righteous Gemstones,” Beck Bennett of “Saturday Night Live,” Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion of “Firefly,” Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan from “Barry,” Frank Grillo from “Creature Commandos,” and Alan Tudyk of “Harley Quinn,” among others. Bringing together talent from across television and film, this new chapter in the DC Universe promises to deliver both familiar faces and exciting new roles.
