The latest trailer for the upcoming Superman movie has sparked excitement among fans, but also raised questions about the identity of the mysterious villain known as the “Hammer of Boravia.” Initially thought to be a cameo by Gorilla Grodd, the character is now revealed to be an independent vigilante from the country of Boravia.
According to the Daily Planet article obtained by @DCU_Updates, the Hammer of Boravia targeted Downtown Metropolis, causing over $20 million in damage and hospitalizing 22 citizens. The villain claims it was retribution for Superman’s recent political interventions in Boravia.
Theories abound online about who the mystery villain is, with some suggesting Adversary or Ultra Humanite. However, experts believe that Lex Luthor’s Ultraman is likely behind the attacks, using the Hammer of Boravia as a means to turn the people of Metropolis against Superman.
The article also mentions comments from Superman himself, stating that he felt forced to act when people’s lives were threatened. The plot outline appears to be unfolding: Superman gets involved in an overseas conflict, Lex uses it to vilify him, and Ultraman is unleashed to take down the Kryptonian hero.
Despite some questions remaining, Gunn’s approach to Superman seems to be shaping up as intriguing, with fans eager to see more of this mysterious villain.
