“Now, as planned, I will destroy you,” Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor says to Superman as he infiltrates the Fortress of Solitude. The threats don’t stop there. Luthor promises to kill Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Superman’s adopted parents, Jonathan (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and Martha Kent (Neve Howell). Luthor even plans to kill the people of Metropolis who chose Superman to be their hero. Luckily for those citizens, Superman is ready for a fight.
“No matter what you do to me, Luthor, your plans won’t work,” Superman says before engaging in a battle over the city.
Saving the city will be a vigorous challenge, as Superman must fend off Luthor’s army and other potential adversaries, including Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner. Superman is forced to use his heat vision at the end of the footage as he faces enemies from every direction.
