Work on SUPERMAN continues and, as we reported earlier this week, production is now expected to wrap in July. That news came from a recent Be More Super interview with David Corenswet's stunt double Justin Howell.
More excerpts have since found their way online, with Howell calling Corenswet a "down to earth and just a sweet guy." He'd go on to say the actor "embodies the character so well," another endorsement for the relative unknown's take on the Man of Steel.
DC Studios co-CEO and filmmaker James Gunn shared a first look at Superman's costume when production started, but that was only the logo (which pulls inspiration from the Kingdom Come comic book series).
We'd hoped set photos might reveal the suit in its entirety - trunks or no trunks? - but that still hasn't happened.
Howell was reluctant to say too much, but after previously doubling for Chris Hemsworth in Thor: Love and Thunder and serving as Halo's Master Chief, he says Superman's suit "is the most mobile of any of the other suits I’ve worn."
He'd also say serving as Superman's stunt double is the "mountain top" of his career, calling the whole thing "a very, very cool experience."
As for what it's been like to work on SUPERMAN, Howell called the movie "the start of a new era," adding, "The things James [Gunn is] doing with it are very interesting."
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.
The movie's supporting cast includes 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, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa Kent, Neva Howell as Ma Kent, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Milly Alcock is also expected to make a cameo appearance as Supergirl before taking flight in her own movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
SUPERMAN is currently set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.
