As for the Man of Steel himself, Corenswet has previously shared that he's enjoying every aspect of suiting up as DC's big blue boy scout and that he personally thinks there's more pressure on James Gunn than himself.

Said Corenswet, "I like to grow and improve myself with criticism. I don’t take it personally," Corenswet said on any negative comments from fans. "Quite the opposite, it’s a learning experience. And all actors must accept it as what it is in order to grow professionally."

"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."

The James Gunn-directed (and written) film stars David Corenswet as Kal-El/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific.

Rounding out the cast are Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Additionally, Nicholas Hoult portrays Lex Luthor in the film, while Milly Alcock will appear as Supergirl before spinning off into her own solo adventure, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Rounding out the cast are Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan 'Pa' Kent and Neva Howell as Martha 'Ma' Kent.

Currently set for release on July 11, 2025, Superman, formerly titled Superman: Legacy, is the first film in Gunn's DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a reboot of Zack Snyder's DCEU.

About Superman:
Synopsis: Superman embarks on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent. The film arrives in North American theaters on July 11. Belgium and France will see the film released two days prior.

Image is oversaturated.

CyberNigerian - 4/19/2025, 1:34 PM

@CyberNigerian - about the wrinkles on the suit complaint.... Looks more comfortable than the MoS suit.

We read the article today about Ben Affleck complaining about how there was no consideration for tha actor in the suit. Dude was sweating buckets.

Gabimaru - 4/19/2025, 7:25 PM

@CyberNigerian - when they redesign the suit in the 2nd film i hope it's way more fitter with skin tight material than this shiiiiiite asssssss of a suit

JurassicClunge - 4/19/2025, 1:31 PM

Suit looks way better here, you see how making it tighter in certain areas goes a long way? 😮‍💨

Like,.....i can actually see a damn bicep 🥹

Conquistador - 4/19/2025, 1:49 PM

@JurassicClunge - better, but that's not saying much.. all them folds..😔

I'm sure the movie will be good, but I'd say it's the second worst live action suit...the one with that crown goes to Tyler's Hoechlin's first suit.

NoDaysOff - 4/19/2025, 2:03 PM

@JurassicClunge - man! Say what you want about Cavill/Snyder, but they were closest on the suit.

Look man, no folds! (I wasn't a fan of the abs stuff though)

JurassicClunge - 4/19/2025, 2:09 PM

@Conquistador - Tyler's first literally looked like it was made out of felt tip material 🤣😮‍💨 and the muscle padding was horrendous 😩😩

This suit would be perfect if they got rid of the padding and lines, made it tighter, gave him the traditional neckline and changed the texture and reduced the size of the trunks. Everything else is perfect (colours, cape length, emblem on cape, belt) 👀

GeneralZod - 4/19/2025, 2:22 PM

@NoDaysOff - Fully agree, and i'm not a Synder fan. I will qualify that a little brightness on the color palette would have made an "A" costume look "A+".

JurassicClunge - 4/19/2025, 2:53 PM

@NoDaysOff - i wholeheartedly agree sir!

The aura that suit gives off is crazy, the MOS one too

He actually looks like a Superman! 😮‍💨🥹

NoDaysOff - 4/19/2025, 3:28 PM

@GeneralZod - Its odd, I was never bothered about the ommission of the trunks before, but that fan edit does show it could work with the more classic frame of the suit...whereas with the Gunn version it's doesn't! As that's clearly more inspired by the new 52 and looks more like a uniform. They did it backwards. Lol.

GeneralZod - 4/19/2025, 3:35 PM

@NoDaysOff - Indeed, they did it backwards. In unrelated news, He is risen! Love the avatar.

NoDaysOff - 4/19/2025, 3:37 PM

@GeneralZod - Happy Easter! :)

McMurdo - 4/19/2025, 1:34 PM

I just have a strong feeling this film is going to be to the DCU what Iron Man was to the MCU.

Scarilian - 4/19/2025, 2:07 PM

@McMurdo -
Iron Man started the MCU and they built off the popularity of that character.

Comparatively after James Gunn's Superman we get:

• Supergirl (2026) - Filming
• Clayface (2026) - Pre-Production
• Sgt.Rock (2026?) - Pre-Production
• The Authority (2027?) - In Development
• The Brave and the Bold (2027?) - In Development
• Swamp Thing (2028?)
• Teen Titans (2028?)
• Bane & Deathstroke team-up movie

Sure, they can slot in a Superman sequel featuring Braniac and a Worlds Finest movie with Batman & Superman, but the general direction of this universe is so fragmented. We are going to have The Authority and Teen Titans before a majority of the heroes are even established or a Justice League film happens...

Why is Clayface & Sgt.Rock being prioritized as the natural exploration of the Gunn DCU?

CaptainAwkward - 4/19/2025, 2:14 PM

@McMurdo - It’s too late for that. The general audience are not bothered or invested in anything DC-related. Why do you think they’re not pushing forward with the Batman sequel. It’s just excuse after excuse, conveniently Matt Reeves is dealing with an illness. No this Superman film is tired, sure it’s gonna make money, cater to dog lovers etc but we will see what happens in the subsequent weeks after release. The box office and critical reception will say it all. I keep telling people and I’ll tell you too, y’all rejected Superman returns, rejected man of steel and now you really believe a scruffy looking white dog is gonna save the superman franchise? Really?! It’s too late. People don’t know what they want from a superman film. You are acting like that guy who just won’t move on from a past relationship, you give into hope, thinking you can still work things out. You can’t. It’s done. Mark my words this will be the end of superman, you can quote me because I’ve never been wrong about a prediction of a film and I won’t be wrong with this.

McMurdo - 4/19/2025, 2:15 PM

@Scarilian - dope lineup. Look at the creative talent behind those projects. The reason those projects are moving forward is because folks like Mike Flanagan and Luca Guadagnino genuinely WANT to make those projects.

The difference here is that the DCU isn't taking a systemic approach but a creative one, and that's a good thing.

McMurdo - 4/19/2025, 2:16 PM

@CaptainAwkward - hyped to see your commentary this July man.

Scarilian - 4/19/2025, 3:10 PM

@McMurdo -
Saying it's a 'good thing' doesn't make it so. Either approach unrestrained results in a mess.

This feels like random projects that may sink or swim but feel disconnected from each other and that can mean audiences don't feel inclined to watch them.

JacobsLadder - 4/19/2025, 3:41 PM

@McMurdo - I'd take a Superman movie on Iron Man's level at this point. A solid 7.5-8/10.

McMurdo - 4/19/2025, 10:44 PM

@Scarilian - saying it's not a good thing doesn't make it the case either homie hate to break it to ya.

DrDReturns - 4/19/2025, 11:47 PM

@McMurdo - Hope you're right.

Superman deserves it!

ModHaterSLADE - 4/19/2025, 1:37 PM

Liking the New 52 inspiration for the suit.

Steel86 - 4/19/2025, 1:37 PM

I know some don't like the suit but if you're a Superman fan how can you look at him and not see Superman. I like it more and more.

Ricter - 4/19/2025, 1:49 PM

@Steel86 - You just answered your own question: They're factually not Superman fans.

Obviously there will be the occasional actual normal person who says they simply don't like the design which is perfectly fine, but the majority of pathetic cringe-worthy failed troll attempts are exactly that.

Not to mention the fact that the vast majority of these complete losers are (by their own admission) only fans of literally *one* version of Superman out of his nearly 100 year history (i'll give ya three guesses which version), which proves even more definitively that they're just sad angry little fanboys who were out to hate and rage-fart about this movie since day one.

GeneralZod - 4/19/2025, 2:24 PM

@Steel86 - I'm a Superman 78 kid. The non-tapered costume distract the [frick] out of me.

Steel86 - 4/19/2025, 2:47 PM

@GeneralZod - Kneel! Kneel before Zod!

Steel86 - 4/19/2025, 2:52 PM

@Ricter - Perfect breakdown. There are alot of different costumes for supes in the comics. Not to mention if you're a true Superman you have to know that Superman is kinda unique when compared to the other top tier heroes as in alot of what common fans have come to love about Superman didn't originate from the comics. Lex, Kryptonite, him flying come from different mediums and where adopted to the comics. I say that to say if it keeps the heart of the hero true then there is room for different interpretations.

NonPlayerC - 4/19/2025, 1:40 PM

looks like he's struggling a bit too much for lifting a beetle. Nit picking a promo image I know. fingers crossed its good

Se4M4NSt4ine - 4/19/2025, 1:47 PM

@NonPlayerC - I think that’s less on purpose, and more on David selling his acting ability. It’d be kinda stupid if he just sat there blank faced like he was holding nothing above him.

Se4M4NSt4ine - 4/19/2025, 1:49 PM

@NonPlayerC - also, I’m sure that’s a fan poster to call back to the Action Comics issue 1. They’ve just took the BTS image of him holding something (We don’t actually know what he was holding cause of green screen etc)

LoudLon - 4/19/2025, 1:45 PM

I see more Superman in that pic and Corenswet in general than I ever saw in Cavill. To be clear, I like Cavill, I just always felt he was miscast as Superman. Snyder/Goyer/Terrio's writing of the character as being dour and brooding certainly didn't help. But I've had a good feeling about Corenswet from the jump. I think he's going to kill it.

epc1122 - 4/19/2025, 1:50 PM

@LoudLon - funny bc lately when I see Corenswet I’m seeing more Brandon Frasier and wasn’t a huge fan of that fan casting. I think Cavill has a good look for Superman but wasn’t given a chance to really portray it he hopeful/optimistic version that’s well known. Dave seems charismatic and from little I’ve seen of him, seems like a good actor so I’m hopeful I’ll enjoy the movie! My anticipation for this movie is sky high!!

LoudLon - 4/19/2025, 2:15 PM

@epc1122 - I think I see what you mean about Fraser. It's in the eyes, yeah?

Cavill -- like I said, I like him in general. I think he'd make a great James Bond, and he could bring even more physicality to it than Craig did (which is saying something). But years ago when I was on this site (I was banned for a bit lol) I remember saying that while I think Cavill certainly LOOKS like Superman, the characterization wasn't right.

Anyway, I'm psyched to see what Corenswet brings to the role.

epc1122 - 4/19/2025, 2:20 PM

@LoudLon - you were banned for that? People have said so much worse and don’t get banned that I’m surprised you were banned for that. Was never a huge fan of Bond but I agree that Cavill would make for a good bond. I think Cavill did a decent job with what he was given but could have been a better Superman if he had a different script. He also seems to have an affection for the character which I like. Not like that’s a prerequisite but I think it helps. I can’t wait to see the new movie. The suit isn’t my ideal but it’s grown on me.

LoudLon - 4/19/2025, 2:44 PM

@epc1122 - No, I was banned for calling Wilding a hack one time too many LOL

No hard feelings, Wilding. :)

harryba11zack - 4/19/2025, 1:52 PM

Soup's suit bee made like it was in the 90's

HashTagSwagg - 4/19/2025, 1:53 PM

@harryba11zack -

DanceDavile - 4/19/2025, 1:57 PM

Yes! Soup's suit bee made like it was in the 90's

6of13 - 4/19/2025, 2:08 PM

Say what you want about Superman Returns, the plane save scene is still spectacular as was the car save.

harryba11zack - 4/19/2025, 2:15 PM

@6of13 - the main reason that movie failed was because there wasn't enough "S" logos on the suit
