After much speculation and waiting, the first official look at actor David Corenswet in the new “Man of Steel” suit for the new Superman movie has finally been revealed.
Filmmaker James Gunn, director of the film, which was previously called ‘Superman: Legacy’, was in charge of sharing the image, which has already gone viral, on the social network Threads. DC later did the same in X.
In the photograph you can see the legendary Kryptonian sitting in an armchair, while adjusting one of his boots, in addition to revealing what the suit will be like and the iconic S on the chest. In the background, through the window of the building where he is, you can see a ray of pink light and a huge ball of energy over a city.
Something that caught the attention of users is that the hero shows off his worn, or apparently burned, shield. This shows that far from having his pristine suit, here Superman could head for a second assault against the enemy in question.
Superman, which will hit theaters around the world on July 11, 2025, will be the first time fans will see the hero played by Corenswet, who became famous thanks to series such as ‘Hollywood’ and ‘The Politician’. However, this interpretation of the superhero is expected to take him to the stratosphere of the Mecca of Cinema.
David, 30, who also appeared in the cult horror film, ‘Pearl’, will share the screen with Rachel Brosnahan, who will play Lois Lane.
They will be accompanied by Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho; Nathan Fillon as Guy Gardner, and Isabela Mercad as Hawkgirl.
It is worth mentioning that this Superman project will set the initial tone for a new stage in the DC superhero family, which will be continued by other already confirmed films, such as ‘Batman and Robin’, ‘Supergirl’ or ‘The Authorithy’.
