James Gunn Reacts To Fake Superman Trailer & AI Art

Fans are eagerly awaiting the official Superman trailer starring David Corenswet (it hasn’t been released), so much so they are creating fake versions through use of artificial intelligence.

Well, one trailer happened to bamboozle a French news station who ran with a fake Superman trailer from YouTube.

Fake Superman trailer fools French news station

“This weekend in #20h, we unfortunately broadcast fake trailer extracts in the hope of illustrating the next #Superman. We apologize to our viewers and the film crew,” the station tweeted (translated).

James Gunn reacts with puke emojis

Worth a mention is that the fake Superman trailer doesn’t even look real, or good, for that matter. It also features footage of Henry Cavill from Man of Steel (lol). James Gunn caught wind of it and tweeted a reaction featuring three puke emojis.

Bozo X account posts fake AI Superman images

That’s not all as some bozo account on X claiming to work for Sony posted fake AI images of David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Hawkgirl. As I tweeted, they’re fake AF simply by zooming in on Corenswet’s hand revealing goofy AF fingers (AI has a tough time with fingers for whatever reason). The account also posted its own fake trailer, and apparently isn’t a big fan of that Superman and Krypto image.

James Gunn shoots the fake pics down

Fans questioned James Gunn about the images, who shot them down: “Hell, no,” said Gunn.

When does the real Superman trailer get released?

James Gunn hasn’t officially announced the release date for the first Superman trailer, though he has teased it. The best guess right now is in December at Brazil’s big CCXP.

Gunn was recently asked about the Superman trailer and footage while appearing at the NYCC over the weekend.

” It won’t be too long before we see a trailer but it’s also not going to be too soon,” Gunn said, while also previously seemingly hinting the trailer would be released before the end of the year. Check out what to expect here.
