The official trailer of James Gunn’s Superman has broken numerous records and exceeded the expectations of fans and the general audience. However, what intrigued fans the most was: Who is this hammer of Boravia? And why is he beating Superman? And what’s his motive? As for the DC comics, there have been no such characters that exist in the comics. In this article, we’ll try to figure out who he is, and Spoiler Alert if you don’t wanna know.
There have been a lot of theories about who he might be, We’ll discuss all of them one by one.
3. Supergirl
As unlikely as it seems, there might be a chance that it’s Supergirl. The theory is that Lex Luthor manipulated Kara’s mind into thinking that Superman is her enemy and he gave her a armour so that his cousin wouldn’t recognize him, lazer beam coming from his eyes also supports this theory.
2. Bizzaro
Introducing Multiverse in the first film is not a bold choice, though, but still it could be Bizzaro, considering this is how Bizarro is usually introduced in different parts of media, for example, in the CW’s Superman & Lois TV show he first appeared in a armour suit but later turned out to be Bizzarro.
1. Ultraman
There’s no doubt that Ultraman is the most mysterious character in the film. Fans are eagerly waiting to know who he is, but there’s a high chance that Hammer of Boravia is Ultraman and there’s strong proof to support that.
Recently, Funko Pops, which is known for making unique action figures, might have spoiled the identity of Hammer of Boravia. What happens is that they labeled the same number on the Box of Hammer of Boravia and Ultraman, which is not usual and only happens if they are different versions of the same character, which almost confirms that they are the same character.
Superman is set to release on July 11.
