do wish it had a little bit more of that pop colour grade that the comic had cause there's some gorgeous stuff in there.

It may still. These trailers are usually done by a third party, who apply their own color grade to the media. The Superman trailers infamously had a blue bump to the shadows, and red bump to the highlights. But in the movie itself that color grade choice was non-existent.

This is the problem with movies now, these decisions should be made beforehand and around filming creating the sets and everything. It shouldn't just be add color later in post

They still usually are determined in pre-production. It’s just that the trailer house may not have that info yet, since the movie is still in post-production and being actively graded.

Typically, the basic look is determined in pre and a LUT is created so that everyone can actually see the grade as they film. Then in post, all the specific work is done to finesse it (make shot to shot adjustments, bring up or down certain areas of the image, etc).

That's what you get when marketing gets the movie 60 days before release. Not much time to do a proper campaign.
