The highly anticipated film Superman is poised to be a landmark moment in the DC universe, marking the beginning of a new era in the iconic superhero's cinematic journey. While details about the movie have been scarce, James Gunn, the visionary director behind the project, recently shared some exciting insights at CinemaCon. According to Gunn, the film will delve into the formative years of Superman's career, exploring his early days as a fledgling superhero and journalist. Here is all you need to know about the upcoming Superman movie and who is taking on the exciting role.
David Corenswet as new Superman
David Corenswet is embarking on a monumental challenge in his career as he prepares to take on the iconic role of Superman. This beloved character poses a significant test for any actor, especially considering the numerous adaptations and interpretations that have come before. While Superman remains the most recognizable superhero, his character has often been overshadowed by other notable figures like Batman and Spider-Man, who have undergone successful reimaginings on the big screen by various actors.
Despite these challenges, David Corenswet's portrayal of Superman marks a significant milestone in his career. Although he has established himself in film and television, Corenswet brings a fresh and exciting presence to the world of Metropolis.
New Superman Costume
David Corenswet's Superman suit has made a lasting impression, distinguishing itself from the plethora of CGI-heavy costumes that dominate contemporary superhero films. One of the standout features of the suit is its remarkably authentic appearance. It is enhanced by the deliberate inclusion of creases on the arms, shoulders and torso.
Although some elements of the costume may have initially raised eyebrows, the overall reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans and critics alike praising the suit's thoughtful design and commitment to authenticity.
Superman movie to have an intimate love story
Talking about the movie’s romantic plot, James Gunn said in a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, “We have robots and monster babies and giant kaiju and all of that stuff. But that is also grounded around these incredibly real relationships with a couple that started dating a few months ago, and now they're really learning the ins and outs of each other.”
Superman First Look
The latest video release offers an extended glimpse into a scene initially teased in the film's original trailer. This full scene, showcased at CinemaCon, showcases Superman summoning Krypto the Superdog, who promptly appears. In a humorous turn of events, Superman instructs Krypto to "take him home," and the loyal canine obliges, dragging Superman back to the Fortress of Solitude.
