New Video Offers an Up-Close Look at David Corenswet’s SUPERMAN Suit
If you’ve been wanting to get a better look at David Corenswet ’s Superman suit, a new video has made its way online, and it offers our best look yet at the suit that’s set to define the new era of the DCU.
The suit is the result of a tight-knit creative collaboration between costume designer Judianna Makovsky, director James Gunn, and Corenswet himself.
Makovsky has also worked on films such asCaptain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Now she’s lending her talents to the House of El, crafting a design that nods to tradition while carving out its own identity.
While I’m excited about watching this movie, I’m still not 100% sold on Superman’s costume design. I’m kind of a purist when it come to costume designs like this and this is such a huge departure from the versions of the suit that I love. But, I’m just hoping that the film tells a strong story!
Corenswet talked about taking on such an iconic role, syaing: “James Gunn has a tremendous imagination. I’m only here to deliver the lines he’s written. It’s a very particular vision, spiced up with some wonderful elements and performances. I hope I measure up to it in the audience’s eyes.”
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."
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.
