The internet has recently been flooded with set photos of David Corenswet in his Man of Steel outfit for Superman, but a lot of fans have been curious about what his other disguise is going to look like in the movie i.e., his Clark Kent persona.
Check him out:

What’s great is, there’s also a video of Corenswet acting as Clark, and we get to see him just be a bull in a china shop as he clumsily tries to navigate a crowd of people:

With Superman usually being portrayed as a sturdy, invincible figure, it has been a storytelling tradition to have the Clark Kent persona be a bit more clumsy in order to keep everyone off the scent of Clark’s alter ego.
Oddly enough, Zack Snyder’s version of Clark Kent was still pretty serious and he pretty much kept the same hairstyle as Superman; but I do appreciate that James Gunn is going back to one of the core personalities of the character that we haven’t seen on the big screen in a while.
With a look at Clark in the movie, I’m now excited to see the rest of the characters of the Daily Planet. If Batman has his Bat-Family, the characters that make up the Daily Planet are Clark’s version of his work family, what with Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White.
It’s only a matter of time before we get to see just how Rachel Brosnahan brings her Lois to life.
Superman flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.
