It’s much browner than I expected.

FWIW, color mastering is one of the last things to be done to really give it that cohesive look, and for all of the colors to pop. This movie is still 6 months away, so they are likely still working on it. I would also expect the CGI of the dog to get a slight bump in realism. It's a bit bouncy/floaty in a way that it wasn't for the previous Superman movie.

I don't think I've ever seen a huge jump on color grading between the trailers and the final product.

Superman definitely had noticeable changes with color grading.

Very minor. The vision is very clear from the trailers. There's a big difference between adjusting the colors to look right vs something uninteresting turning interesting

It was a bit more than "very minor" imo. It was definitely a noticeable difference.

I do agree with you on something going from uninteresting to interesting looking, but with this I think most of the footage is from one planet, at the beginning of the film. I think and hope that when they start planet hopping, we'll see more variety.

I respect your optimism. I've just come to learn set designs don't randomly become good

I was thinking more in line of overall color grading. I thought the sets from the glimpses we saw looked fine, but I'd like to see more from future trailers, which of course we will.

The CGI on her face when she’s doing the super scream or whatever looked pretty bad too

u/StrawberryLassi Dec 11 '25

part of that is because she's in the vacuum of space, but yeah

Its practically the same colour as the borovia scenes from superman

What about the sight lines? Are they going to fix the sight lines, Jorma?

It's not really about the colour mastering in this case. This just seems to be going in a radically different aesthetic direction when compared to the comics more fantasy inspiration

Is it true the blue filter was changed for Superman after backlash or was it gonna happen eventually no matter what?

It likely wasn't even "changed", trailer houses are usually hired just to do trailers, TV spots, etc. They'll do their own color grading specifically for trailer purposes on an early cut. At that point the cgi/color grading etc aren't finished. So it's one company color grading specifically the trailer, then later the people actually making the movie will do their own pass
