That is not what I was expecting...

I'm prefacing this by saying it's a leak, and it's probably half of the film's plot. I suspect the plot here doesn't matter a huge amount. Honestly I spent the first minute trying to see whether this was AI generated. I don't think it is.

Would you like to see

You probably do.

Kung Fury: The Movie sizzle real

I've seen the original Kung Fury. At the time I think it felt like it was trying too hard, but this is pushing the concept so hard that I think the irony meter has spun a full three times and I'm not sure what day it is.

Ehhh; Superman films are usually so po-faced, I don't mind a bit of levity from it featuring... I want to say Krypto? Poor name these days.

I trust Gunn to do a decent job. I still won't see it at the cinema, but then I'm not sure what film makers would need to do to go back there these days.

I wanted to add this earlier with my previous post but thought I'd hold out for reactions first.

At one time I was a fairly large Gunn advocate with movies such as Slither, Super and the original Guardians I enjoyed all - and even though he only produced Brightburn it has slowly but surely become a true favourite rewatch for me as I truly dig the theme and What If? style energy/execution.
Spoiler
It's utterly convincing as a compelling look into having the true burden of having to deal with such an overwhelming sense of power in a vain attempt to fit in with normality - and how from the very start BB is on a set path he can never divert from.
Anyway, since that movie involvement I feel as though Gunn himself has chosen I path I can no longer follow. His directorial style/ensemble pieces and writing now completely turn me away, he's become far too much of a one-trick pony. Nothing about the trailer other than perhaps The Hammer of Boravia inclusion stood out for me in all honesty.

I think it looks promising.

I recall reading about this a while ago but never got round to watching it.
Adding to my list of things to watch.
