DC has been very sparing when it came to reveals of the new Superman from James Gunn, but with a recent wave of set photos hitting the internet, we have a better look at David Corenswet in his Man of Steel get-up.

Besides Superman, the movie will also be featuring other established superheroes in DC. We don’t have images of Hawkgirl or Green Lantern, but we do have a look at Mister Terrific played by Edi Gathegi:
This has to be one of the most comic accurate suits I've ever seen in a CBM. Like that's just Mister Terrific. pic.twitter.com/UZvVXcVpdG

Going back to Superman, we can see just how brightly colored the outfit is in the sunlight. Not only does he have the signature trunks, but he’s also sporting the yellow belt as well. One particular element they also kept from the classic Superman designs is that he has the yellow shield on the back of the cape.
We don’t know how James Gunn plans to introduce this Superman to the big screen and his rebooted DCU, but it does look like he’s going to be running into a bunch of other heroes who could help him establish his role as a superhero.
With Zack Snyder’s incredibly serious take on the Man of Steel, it’s said that Corenswet’s Superman is going to be the more positive ‘beacon of hope’ that the character has always been throughout his comic book run.
Let’s just hope that Gunn’s passion for the project shines through and we get a completely original new take on Superman when he flies into theatres on July 11, 2025.
