Man Of Tomorrow Stars David Corenswet And Nicholas Hoult React To Viral Supergirl Theater Merch

Superman co-stars David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult have weighed in with their take on the viral Supergirl theater merch that, unfortunately, has a striking resemblance to a sex toy.

Supergirl swoops into theaters this weekend, and DC fans are understandably excited to return to the DCU after Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker Season 2. 

As with pretty much every major release right now, there will be a whole host of theater-exclusive merchandise available to buy. That includes popcorn buckets, collectables, and, in Supergirl's case, a very questionable cup.

Meant to look like the Woman of Tomorrow wearing her overcoat, unflattering comparisons have been made to a specific type of sex toy (if you're not familiar with it, we're not going to explain it to you; just replace one of the letters in flashlight, and you're on the right track).

Superman and Man of Tomorrow co-stars David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult were asked for their thoughts on the cup at last night's Supergirl premiere in New York and, well, their respective reactions were priceless...

This was a bit of a misfire, but any social media attention that brings more eyes on Supergirl during its opening weekend should be welcomed by DC Studios.

Box office tracking still hasn't been updated—current estimates range from $40 million to $55 million—but that may change tomorrow once the first reviews for the movie are revealed.

Hoult also discussed Lex Luthor's Warsuit in Man of Tomorrow after being spotted in set photos in full costume. He doesn't give much away, but it sounds like donning that was a big part of why he wanted to play the villain in the DCU.

Supergirl, DC Studios' newest feature film to hit the big screen, arrives in theaters worldwide next summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, and stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Alcock stars alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.

The film is executive produced by Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars P. Winther. Behind the camera, Gillespie is joined by director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, Visual Effects Supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Ramin Djawadi Junkie XL Claudia Sarne.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.

This Dude got kicked in the NUTZ & called a BITCH in the end. He wasn't HEROIC. He DID NOT SAVE THE DAY or Metropolis. Hes the Superman for those guys who fear masculinity. Gunns Contract is UP 2027!!!

@dragon316 - bro Superman SUIT with the red panties, the idea came to be in the 1930s when they created Superman...they based his suit of off the strong men aka wrestles back then. Of course Chris Reeves wore it etc BUT in 2026 that shit looks DUMB! NO DC character is wearing panties on the outside of their suits anymore whether it's comics or film. Zack had it right. Hes from another planet from another galaxy of course they wouldn't wear that shit! smfh. I understand you have to glaze & shill for Gunn.

I wonder if they will delve into Supergirl and Superman's differences in handling things in the next movie. Very curious of what there relationship will look like.
RolandD
RolandD - 6/23/2026, 10:49 PM
@BlackStar25 - From what Gunn said it sounds like they will in the next movie. There should be a contrast, although I hope by the next movie she’s embraced her heroism completely. That might happen in this movie too.

@BlackStar25 -

She’ll have embraced her role to help people but she’ll probably still be more skeptical of people than Superman is.

BlackStar25 - 6/24/2026, 3:57 PM
@PS118 - Yup! That exactly what I was thinking.
BlackStar25
BlackStar25 - 6/24/2026, 3:59 PM
@RolandD - Sounds like she will embrace her heroism in this for sure.
RolandD
RolandD - 6/24/2026, 4:07 PM
@BlackStar25 - Yeah, I think that you are correct.

If you’re that desperate to put your —— in something, then really doesn’t pretty much any large cup look like the toy that shall not be mentioned?

Man that trenchcoat is doing a lot of heavy lifting with the identity of this character
