James Gunn returns to Twitter with an extended trailer of 'Brightburn', take a look

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn who was off the social media for quite a long time now following the controversy over his past tweets, has finally made a comeback on the microblogging site on Friday. The director officially resurfaced on Twitter on March 15 after Disney rehired him for 'Guardians 3' by posting a thank-you note.

The filmmaker returned to social media with an 'extended' trailer of his upcoming directorial 'Brightburn'. Gunn shared the 3.11 minute-long video on Twitter and captioned it saying, "And here's an extended version of the trailer!"

Here's the post:

'Brightburn' is a superhero sci-fi story with a twist that offers a subversive take on the genre and is slated to be released on May 24. The concept of the story is essentially Superman’s origin story but with a shocking, dark twist. Exploring the possibilities of what a boy of the alien race adopted by a human family could have been turned out into, Gunn portrays a dark and gloomy spin-off.

As per Entertainment Weekly, the official synopsis of the film read, “What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? With 'Brightburn', the visionary filmmaker of Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.”

James Gunn teased the making of this 'secret movie' long back as he was scheduled to reveal about the same at San Diego Comic-Con. However, things got delayed because of the whole Disney controversy involving him and finally, he introduced his fans to his first 'Superhero horror' venture this weekend at Brazil’s Comic-Con. Gunn is producing the project while David Yarovesky serves as the director. The film features Elizabeth Banks, Meredith Hagner, and David Denman in the lead roles.
