Concept artist Constantine Sekeris has shared some more of his designs for James Gunn's Superman, and this time we have a detailed look at Ultraman's costume.

Like the previous artwork Sekeris posted to his Instagram page, this appears to be the villain's final design (or very close to it).

The identity of Ultraman remains a mystery for the majority of the movie, but after taking heavy damage during the final battle, he unmasks to reveal that he is indeed an exact clone of Kal-El. David Corenswet also plays Superman's doppelgänger, who has long hair but otherwise looks pretty much the same.

Lex Luthor reveals that he was able to clone Superman from a strand of his hair, and that the silent Ultraman is technically stronger, but "even stupider" than the Man of Tomorrow. When Krypto destroys Lex's means of communicating voice commands to Ultraman, Superman is able to defeat his foe by sending him hurtling through a black hole that opens in Metropolis thanks to Luthor's continued use of a pocket universe.

Gunn has hinted that we might see Ultraman again at some point, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if he returned as a version of Bizarro.

Check out the concept art at the link below.

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

The cast also Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted last year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out a synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

@jst5 - Yeah the studio went from one extreme to another. With James Gunn’s superman the underlying message is that superman doesn’t kill and yet he was forced to kill Ultraman by pushing him into the black hole which is basically - killing in self defence. What a joke. Gunn made superman continuously emphasise that he’s so kind and that Krypto might kill the cows at the Kent farm and that they needed to study the kaiju monster before mr terrific killed the thing blah blah blah. It’s flawed writing.

Superman is a benevolent force for good, utterly compassionate prioritising human life above anything else but when the chips are down, even superman understands the importance of necessity. Sometimes the bad guys just have to die. Every superhero understands this. It’s not glorious or poetic it just is!! 🤦🏿‍♂️

Anyway superman was emasculated in this film. Too weak. Spends the entire film lying on his back and doesn’t perform enough heroism. Instead he is the one who needs saving the most. What a joke. Gunn doesn’t respect the character. He prioritised Krypto over Kal-el. Complete failure imo. Still a fun movie but not a solid representation of the character.

@Canyoublush - Ultraman ain't dead kiddo. Gunn confirmed it and in the film its stated you simply get trapped. The portal system is utilizing black holes to teleport. You end up elsewhere. You just gotta pay attention to dialogue

Please tell me how The Fantastic Flop isn't a mess?

That movie is twelve ways from Sunday kinda jacked up.

They could recycle the movie and it would still be a pile of steaming garbage 🗑️.

Nolanite out

Superman was kinda MID

Superman was fine.

I don't remember shit about Clark Kent.

Ma and Pa were [frick]ing ridiculous.

Lois was fine.

Lex was [frick]ing amazing.

Mr. Terrific was TERRIFIC. (see what I did there)

Hawkgirl was awful.

Guy Gardner was a shoehorned goofball.

Ultraman was kinda WTF - why not just make 1000 of them and take over the world? Also, how did Lex not figure out he was Clark Kent when he had his own home made Clark?

WTF was up with the pocket universe and the Portable Portal in a Tent gimmick?

Would have been a fine second movie or side project but NOT the big debut.

@Batmangina - Yeah the dimensional portal thing was kinda weird and convoluted tbh. It doesn’t make sense that mr terrific could just stop the whole thing by pushing a few buttons at Lex’s headquarters. 🤦🏿‍♂️

I actually liked the Kent’s. Their scenes were minimal but they did great for what they were given. Lois was awesome. Arguably the best portrayal thus far. Mr terrific was too good for this movie. Someone give this guy his own solo film. He outshined Superman at every turn. I wanted more Clark Kent, wasn’t enough of him. Lex was hilarious. That scene where he dragged miss teshmascheur from the closet by the legs had me in stitches.

Didn’t care for GG & Hawkgirl. They added absolutely nothing. Overall the movie is disappointing. It could have been sooo much better without the justice gang in it because they literally did all the heavy lifting but this is supposed to be a Superman solo outing however my worst fears came true.

Gunn turned this into a superhero team movie. It should be retitled - guardians of metropolis. No outstanding action sequences either. Superman failed to showcase any new powers nor did he use his abilities in innovative ways. He just flew around, a bit of heat vision, a bit of artic breath and the usual strength and durability feats that were better demonstrated in Smallville.


This honestly feels like discount/temu superman made for the TikTok generation. Where’s the real superman film? Gunn dropped the ball man.

This suit reminds me of Zoom from the flash tv show. I do get wanting ultramans identity to be a mystery but would have preferred a more original design. With that said, I think they did a great job of translating the concept art into reality and curious how they’re going to update the look should the character ever come back.

I find it funny that a Black Noir looking dude was the clone of Superman in this because if you have read The Boys comic then well , you know…

I do wonder where the specific design idea came from since it’s not from the comics , especially the goggles since they feel very Parademon-esque.

Anyway I thought the character was fine though I do like the idea of Lex creating a clone of Superman and calling him “ Ultraman” given how petty this version is.
