Super-Not-So-Heroic Origin Story Brightburn Gets a Final Trailer

Just because he’s super doesn’t mean he’s a hero. Director David Yarovesky’s twisted take on the superhero genre, Brightburn, received a final trailer on Monday, and it’s clear we’re not in Marvel territory. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 director James Gunn produced this sinister version of the origin story, which stars Jackson A. Dunn as the creepy kid in a cape and Elizabeth Banks as his tormented mother.

Based on the trailer, it appears Brightburn is going to rely on some classic horror movie elements. What’s creepier than a psychotic child stalking his own mother? A psychotic child in a mask, of course. Nothing shown explains exactly why Superman-but-make-him-evil is so hellbent on destruction, but we do get an intense shot of glass being pulled out of an eyeball. Yikes.
