As if comic book fans didn’t already have enough reason to get in line to see Superman Returns (aside from Doug). Spider-Man director, Sam Raimi, in a recent interview with the good folks over at Superhero Hype has confirmed that the first teaser for Spider-Man 3 is going to be running in front of Superman Returns. Well… at least to the best of his knowledge it is.
Here’s what he had to say:
I asked him about the teaser trailer and I said, it’s coming with Talladega Nights right? Before I finished asking the question, he said Superman. And I said what? Because you guys at Superhero Hype! said Talladega nights. Then Sam Raimi himself said Superman, and there was another man listening who confirmed that. But then Sam said well I don’t know what “they’re” doing but they told me Superman Returns. Keep a look out.
There is no doubt that showing a Spider-Man 3 trailer in front of Superman Returns is the best place for it. You’ve got your target audience pretty much all there. The only reason this surprises me a little is that I didn’t think they were far enough into filming to have a teaser ready quite yet.
Expect there to be very little in the teaser. It’ll probably mostly be graphics and flashback footage with only a few seconds of actual new footage… which is fine since it’s just a teaser anyway. Thanks to Joel for the heads up.
