Highlights

  • James Gunn teased “Superman” film updates, revealing the title and showcasing David Corenswet’s costume details.
  • BossLogic reimagines Corenswet’s Superman suit, incorporating Kingdom Come elements, sparking mixed fan reactions.
  • Maria Gabriela de Faria hinted at Superman project preparation as production begins for the anticipated superhero film.



Some Superman fans didn’t approve of the photo they saw from James Gunn’s post when the director teased the upcoming superhero flick, so one designed his take of David Corenswet’s Superman costume.

Gunn publicly confirmed Superman: Legacy in January 2023 and announced it would be out by 2025. Last week, he shared an update, announcing that he was done with the final draft and that the final title of the anticipated movie would be Superman. He also shared a glimpse of Corenswet’s Superman costume, highlighting the suit’s “S” shield in yellow and red colors, with the rest of the costume left out of frame.



A number seemingly disapproved of the suit’s “S” shield because before Superman started filming, the logo had appeared online through the cast members’ nameplates during their table read, and it was noticeably based on Mark Waid and Alex Ross’ Kingdom Come. The primary distinction was the color, with Gunn’s Superman symbol using yellow instead of black. BossLogic shared his take on the costume by adding the Kingdom Come hues and uploaded it on Instagram. The fan art showcased the Superman logo in red and black. It was also noticeably larger, which many fans seemingly approved.





The artist pointed out that he adjusted Corenswet’s body and the Superman logo because they wanted “him a little bigger and the logo even larger.” Several people praised the fan art, with one acknowledging how fast the artist made the adjustments based on his followers’ feedback. Another said the version “looks much cleaner.” However, a few had some issues with the Superman logo being off-center while some didn’t like the fabric and the logo. Nevertheless, the majority liked the fan art.

Corenswet’s Superman costume has been among the favorite topics that online users discussed lately after Gunn gave a glimpse of the “S” shield. Many even speculated what the rest of Corenswet’s Superman suit looked like because Gunn’s photo only showed the logo. This is a normal response from fans since costumes are significant elements in superhero movies and franchises like Superman. However, the subject has garnered too much attention, with some leaking fake photos of Corenswet rocking a Superman costume. One fan shared a snap of the actor in his Superman element and tagged Gunn to confirm if the costume in the photo circulating online was real or fake. The Guardians of the Galaxy director pointed out several factors that disprove the image’s authenticity, confirming it was fake. For instance, Corenswet’s hands in the picture looked plain and had no hint of bones or veins. His red trunks also appeared to be knitted with yarn. Additionally, the man holding the camera seemingly wore his pants with the drawstring in the back.


The Superman cast is gearing up to start production. In January, Maria Gabriela de Faria shared a photo of her working hard to prepare for a “wild shoot.” Many believed that she was teasing her followers about Superman. Gunn announced they had started the principal photography on Feb. 29, which coincided with Superman’s birthday. Although the director was careful to keep Superman’s costume under wraps, it might not take long before photos of the entire Superman costume leak, especially since the production is underway.

Superman is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.
