"It's all coming together."

The iconic superhero, Superman is an undefeated throne holder and beloved popular cultural figure for over eight decades. Fans worship this character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

Therefore, the casting decision is pivotal here. It can make or break the success of the new and upcoming film. But when stakes are this high, netizens always dilute the tension with their signature online humor.

Someone humorously opined (Via @lonelystonerpod/X):

"This better be the best superhero movie of 2025"

A humorous comment ensued (Via @BenGeskin/X):

"At first, I thought it was AI-generated, but seeing it on the official channels blew my mind"

Another online user made a funny meme (Via @XsynderverseX/X):

A humorous observation was made (Via @BrettDonn/X):

"Tell me this is for a tv commercial and not an actual movie clip"

This user took a detailed explanation (Via @aac1967/X):

"Gunn said he drew inspiration from Top Gun Maverick for flight scenes. I think by the time this movie hits theaters and we have it on the large screen with sounds it will be great. Gunn’s ability to make you invested in characters is what sells a movie IMO. Who didn’t love Baby Groot and a raccoon."

Another person humorously noted (Via @sigmatic_/X):

"Kl-El I’m watching your cinematic flight, why are you trying not to laugh bro."

Another user humorously remarked (via @b_the_resistanc/X):

"Think I would rather watch the Substance again if I had tv’s. I threw them all out after watching the Substance."

Another user compared the new Superman's flight pattern with that of Adam Warlock (via @milknoats):
