The celebrated graphic novel by Mark Millar and DC receives its own film adaptation in the animation key planned for 2020.
Warner Bros. has presented with DC the first trailer of Superman: Red Son (Superman: Red Son), the film adaptation in animation code of the celebrated graphic novel by Mark Millar for DC. This is one of the most successful DC Elseworlds stories that raises what would have happened if the Man of Steel had landed in the former Soviet Union instead of the United States.
Premiere planned for early 2020
This new adaptation of Superman was announced in the last Comic-Con in San Diego, a new animated DC movie after the recent Wonder Woman: Bloodlines and Batman Hush and that will arrive in domestic format in early 2020, both in Blu-ray and in digital
As fans of the Man of Steel will know, Superman: Red Son belongs to the Elseworlds comic line, closed stories that pose alternative realities of DC characters, taking them out of the official canon and taking them to completely different situations from those we all know.
This is the case of Superman: Red Son, the original 2003 comic by DC Comics by Mark Millar, one of the most successful Elseworlds stories under the interesting premise "What would happen if Superman had been created in the Soviet Union?" the decade of the 50s, dealing with issues such as the Cold War and tense relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, Superman being the greatest threat to North America and rising as an icon of communism in the mid-twentieth century.
Of course, characters like Batman or Wonder Woman, as well as mythical Superman villains like Lex Luthor, will be missing, giving us an interesting and unexpected script alongside one of the most amazing endings of the DC universe.
Superman: Red Son will be released in domestic format at the beginning of next year on a date yet to be specified.
