New SUPERMAN Photo Sees David Corenswet Standing Tall as the Man of Steel
Here’s another shot from James Gunn’s Superman, and it features David Corenswet as the Man of Steel standing tall in the Fortress of Solitude.
There have been reports of mixed reviews for this film from test screenings, but as a fan of Gunn and his films, I’m excited to see what he is going to deliver with this.
Warner Bros. likes it, though! According to studio heads Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca, Gunn has delivered a great film.
De Luca previously shared: "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment. His heart's in the right place, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new version of DC."
Superman will tell 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, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
“It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU."
It will be the first official film in the new DC Universe timeline, kicking off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a rollout that will eventually include five films and five shows, among them Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold, Clayface, Swamp Thing, and more.
The cast of Superman also includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois, Skyler Gisondo as Clark’s best pal, Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce as The Daily Planet’s Perry White; Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl; Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl; and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner.
It also stars Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt, aka Mister Terrific; Maria Gabriela de Faria as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampan as Eve Teschmacher; Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason, aka Metamorphosis; Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.; Neva Howell as Martha Kent; and Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent.
The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
