Anthony Carrigan doesn’t look like Metamorpho again, while Superman is shown in what looks like the Fortress of Solitude, cradling a robot.

The trailer doesn’t offer many clues about the film’s plot, but it does offer glimpses of several breathtaking action sequences. However, a shot of a bystander throwing a can at Superman’s head suggests that the inhabitants of this universe are not so accepting of the Man of Steel.

You’re like, ‘Oh damn, poor Superman,'” Gunn teased. “That’s what we never see – not in the movies, sometimes in the comics. … You see now that Lex is not the person you want against you.”
