New image from the James Gunn-produced superhero horror Brightburn

January 12, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures has revealed a new image from the James Gunn-produced superhero horror Brightburn featuring young actor Jackson A. Dunn as Brandon Breyer, a Clark Kent-esque child from the stars who ultimately chooses a very different path to that of the Man of Steel.

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.

Brightburn is set for release on May 24th and sees David Yarovesky directing a cast that includes Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones, Meredith Hagner, Steve Agee, Becky Wahlstrom and Stephen Blackehart.
