SUPERMAN: Natalia Safran Teases Upcoming Costume Reveal As Another Hard-To-Believe Villain Rumor Surfaces

Natalia Safran, the wife of DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran, has teased plans for a SUPERMAN costume reveal as yet another bizarre rumour has started doing the rounds online about the movie's villain...

Last month, James Gunn announced that SUPERMAN had started shooting by sharing a first look at the logo which will adorn the chest of David Corenswet's Clark Kent. 

Clearly inspired by Kingdom Come, it's a design which has earned the approval of fans. However, until we get to see the entire costume, it's too soon to say whether DC Studios' take on the Man of Tomorrow's iconic appearance can truly be considered a hit. 

With Gunn confirming he'll miss this year's San Diego Comic-Con, we don't currently know when we'll get that full suit reveal. According to Natalia Safran, the wife of DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran, it won't be "for a bit yet."

She'd add, "But soon enough and it's oh so good!"

Production is set to move to Atlanta any week now and it's possible we'll then get set photos and videos. Gunn could choose to beat them to the punch by sharing an official shot of Corenswet suited up or may just decide to let them have at it and start marketing the reboot as planned closer to its release date. 

In other SUPERMAN "news," there's a pretty wild rumour floating around that joining Lex Luthor as the movie's lead villain will be Corenswet as a clone of Kal-El. We're not sure if this is a new take on Bizarro or Cyborg Superman, but if true, it's a little surprising to see Gunn head down the Superman III route of introducing an "Evil Superman."

Again, we're not putting much stock in this rumour but if this is even remotely accurate, the filmmaker will have to work hard to ensure it doesn't come across as lame, particularly with fans eager to see villains like Brainiac and Mongul on screen. 

Check out Safran's comments below.

Natalia Safran teases we should expect the full reveal of the ‘SUPERMAN’ suit ‘soon enough’

SUPERMAN tells 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.

David Corenswet is playing the Man of Steel, while Rachel Brosnahan has been tapped to star as Lois Lane. Other recent casting additions include Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White.

SUPERMAN is currently set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.

I'll be surprised if it doesn't appear in a set leak pic.

@Highflyer - I'd assume quite alot of it is closed sets (Norway aside) as Gunn's confident it wont be revealed until he's ready.

Likely they will release it before there's any shooting on location. Like how they released the photo of Wolverine and Deadpool.

Can only hope one gets leaked early which will probably prompt them to releastle an official one earlier.

Peter Safran's partner is always teasing upcoming DC things.

Just... his other partner.

If it gets leaked before they have a chance to officially reveal it then Gunn is a f*cking loser, man.

If the rumor is true then I could see it being Gunn’s take on Bizarro since in some iterations , Lex creates him but honestly I doubt this…



I’m still gonna cling to my theory of Lex builds the Engineer in this version who will serve as his hero but deals with issues in a more violent and anti-heroic manner which causes some to get behind her and against Superman and perhaps the other established heroes in terms of public opinion (which could be what Lex wants).

The rest of the movie will deal with Clark having to prove what heroism really means to the world to an extent.

@TheVisionary25 - if Lex is gonna create a superhero of his own, think Superboy just makes far more sense. Don't think it's gonna be Bizarro or the Engineer though.

I could definitely see him backing her (and soon the whole Authority) as his answer to superheroism. Kinda like Superman vs The Elite, but with The Authority instead.

TheVisionary25 - 3/13/2024, 8:11 AM
@bkmeijer1 - the only reason I think that is because in the Brian Azzarello Luthor comic , he does create a female that is his hero that does do something similar in terms of public opinion.

You could easily substitute that character for The Engineer but since it doesn’t seem to be an influence on Gunn from what we have seen , I doubt it will go that way

bkmeijer1 - 3/13/2024, 8:20 AM
@TheVisionary25 - can't say I know the comic, but after looking it up it does actually sound like something we could see in Gunn's Superman movie.

Both characters (from what I gather) are human-cyborg like characters, so they could very well be fused into one. You convinced me to subscribe to your theory.

Guess it's clever, making rumours part of real news articles. I try to avoid them as much as possible, but this way I can't get around them.

Anyway, I do hope they reveal the suit soon. An official image would be so much better than a leaked set photo, even if it's just concept art. No idea both wives were in on the DCU though.

"Another Hard-To-Believe...Rumor".

So, another bullshit clickbait article.

My question is, why the hell is Safran’s wife even saying anything? Does she work in DC?? The more third parties connected to the higher-ups keep talking, the less confidence I have in the project.

How about just answering the question with- “I dont [frick]ing know; I dont work at DC Studios.”

For [frick]s sake!

Bleah.

And regarding Bizarro, that does sound like James Gunn's route, so I won't be surprised if it were true. But even if it's not whoever the villains are, I am just praying this movie breaks records; a lot is riding on this movie, and some [frick]ers dont understand. Mrs Co DC head should shut the [frick] up and stay silent till 11th July 2025.

More realistic: Somewhere towards the beginning of the movie, Superman should face the reality of failure by being unable to save Hank Henshaw and his space crew and going into hiding in the interim, Lex Luthor being deceived by Brainiac, possibly even supplying the tech for his anti-Superman armor only to be betrayed and revealed that his true intentions are to deceive the world with confusion by revealing his "True Kryptonian savior"....(After credits scene)... Cyborg Superman.

Bizarro will never be a main villain for Cinematic Superman. If you know anything about Gunn, he pours his own life experiences into the themes of his films.

Gunn has gone on record saying a large part of Superman's appeal to him was his relationship with his Father. So, its only logical to try and formulate a threat that will bring Clark to grips with either Jor or Jonathan

@TheGreenRanger - so true! The way he brought that giant alien starfish to life in suicide squad was such a deep and thoughtful reflection of his childhood and brought some real existential and inspiring philosophical themes. He really poured his soul into that one.

@TheGreenRanger - gunn loves whacky and underutilized, bizarro would be on his list for sure.

@RedSkullBeats - bizarro is shtick. Not Gunns style. Starro has always been a threat.

I don’t believe that Gunn would miss a chance to go full-on loony tunes Bizarro … and sub with a lame clone thingy.

Unless maybe Kryptonian DNA cloning goes wrong and he turns out to be a big strong doofus.

Seems like James is trying to cram 75% of DC into one movie.
Anyways my favorite Bizarro will always be the 90s animated version.
