David Corenswet appears for the first time in the “Superman” suit

James Gunn has released the first official image of David Corenswet as superman in the new film version of the DC superhero. The film, which Gunn writes and directs and which will be the cornerstone on which he will build the new DC Cinematographic Universe, will be released on July 11, 2025.

The image in question shows Kal-El dressed in his battered superhero suit putting on one of his red boots. The poor condition of the suit, and the enormous purple flash that can be seen behind the window in the sky of the city, presumably Metropolis, makes it clear that the new Superman has already entered into battle with what may be alien enemies.

New clues to try to intuit more things about Superman’s plot, which Gunn keeps secret. At the time, the filmmaker already assured that it will not be a story of origins and that it will present Kal-El fully exercising as a superhero while fighting, not only against fearsome enemies as this image seems to advance, but also with his duality as an earthling. and kryptonian.

According to its first official synopsis, provided when the project was announced more than a year ago, this version of Superman “tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way of life, guided by human kindness in a world that views kindness as old-fashioned.”

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Neva Howell as Martha Kent and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent complete the film’s cast. .

In addition, along with Corenswet as Superman, Gunn’s film will feature other great heroes of the DC Universe, such as the Green Lantern Guy Gardner who will be played by Nathan Fillion, Hawkgirl, who will be played by Isabela Merced, and Rex Mason/Metamorpho who will be played by Anthony Carrigan or Mr. Terrific, played by Eddie Gathegui.
