Just yesterday, Latino Review’s Umberto Gonzalez reported that director Zack Snyder will release the first teaser trailer of his upcoming DC Comics film, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”. He revealed that the director will tweet about it an hour (at that time) before Lucasfilm kicks off the Star Wars Celebration.
We took that piece of rumour with a grain of salt, but waited in anticipation too. The movie is, after all, one of the highly anticipated superhero films in 2016.
And today, DC Comics fans dropped some nerd-tears as the director finally gave us a first look at the teaser via the tweet below:
Confirmed 4.20.15 #BatmanvSuperman @IMAX special teaser screening events. Limited space. RSVP http://t.co/TasYGlJGighttps://t.co/fnxFIERUlv
— Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) April 16, 2015
As first reported by Gonzalez, there’s a sign-up system for fans to attend the special screening events on 20th April (Monday) at selected IMAX theatres in the US.
This is not the first time a special trailer screening event was held for a movie as Warner Bros. used the similar marketing strategy for Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman” trilogy. At that time, fans who signed up for the event were able to watch the first 6 minutes of the film in selected IMAX theatres.
It is unclear when the trailer will be released online, but we can’t wait to watch the film as it will feature Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
Check out the previously released teasers:
