SUPERMAN: Mister Terrific Takes Flight And The Man Of Steel Snaps Off A Salute In Spoilery New Set Video

A new video from the set of Superman shows Mister Terrific taking flight, but why is the hero decked out in such an elaborate rig? You can see his and the Man of Tomorrow's interaction after the jump...

This week, we've been treated to a first look at many of Superman's lead characters. However, the only two superheroes on hand have been the Man of Steel himself and Mister Terrific. 

Now, a new set video has surfaced on social media showing the dynamic duo on a Metropolis rooftop. What's weird about this one, though, is the fact Terrific is wearing some sort of flying rig (on the page, he typically uses his T-Spheres to take flight). 

Actor Edi Gathegi is lifted into the air and Superman snaps off a salute to his fellow hero before he makes an unsteady landing. It's a pretty cumbersome-looking contraption, though it could be that it's meant to be a battle suit of some sort. 

We're expecting shooting to continue in Cleveland today, so it's possible we'll see more of this and other Superman cast members. Even if the big reveals are starting to wind down, we've seen enough at this stage to build excitement for the movie in a way the first official image didn't. 

Some new photos of Superman's extras have also been spotted showcasing the unique style we can expect to see in this comic book/retro-inspired take on the DCU from DC Studios. 

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 cast includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.

Supporting characters include 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, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher MacDonald as Ron Troupe, 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.

Looks awesome.

Snyder fans on suicide watch.

In Gunn we trust!

@HermanM - Not all of us DCEU Snyder fans are toxic, you know. ;p

I'm still concerned with the overall direction of this new (semi-new...?) universe and how cohesive it will all be. But as a standalone film, this looks very promising; baggy suit be darned.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 9:52 AM
@Amino - no but you all have terrible taste and your condemnation, praise, or concern posting means nothing for actual fans of DC. You guys are like the nolanites of yesteryear and will eventually share their fate in obscurity.
IvanBadski

@HermanM - I dont know what fate you are yapping about, but TDK-Trilogy is a standalone masterpiece.



HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 10:52 AM
@IvanBadski - Begins & TDK are great, but TDKR sucked aside from a few scenes.

For a while, nolanites were everywhere, they were bigger Nolan fans than fans of the characters. Now they're extinct and the characters are still here. So it will be with snyderbots.

@HermanM - they’re not extinct. Nolan’s movies came out a long time ago and aren’t current discussion topics. People still love the Batman Nolan trilogy.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 11:20 AM
@Epc11223 - they are extinct compared to what they were. They're a niche sub group that barely posts nowadays. Half of them became snyderbots.

@Amino - I'm right there with you, man. Aside from the "very" promising...
Epc11223
Epc11223 - 6/27/2024, 11:42 AM
@HermanM - extinct means they no longer exist. May not be as much as used to, but again, extinct means doesn’t exist. As time goes by, people tend to talk about what’s relevant and current, doesn’t mean there still isn’t love for the Nolan trilogy.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 12:05 PM
@Epc11223 - nolanites have been extinct since the mid 2010s, thankfully. Awful fanbase. But they were angels compared to snyderbots, who have every bad quality imaginable.
Epc11223
Epc11223 - 6/27/2024, 12:26 PM
@HermanM - two wrongs don’t make a right. Saying snyderverse fans are on suicide watch is equally bad. Saying another fan isn’t a “true dc” fan is ridiculous, especially since it can’t be measured or defined. That does not defend what Snyder fans or “Nolanite” fans say. The problem is, people don’t know how to talk to each other in a respectful way without demeaning other people’s point of view.

@HermanM - Can you please clarify? Are you talking about fans of Nolan, in general, or just fans of his Batman movies?
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 12:48 PM
@Epc11223 - The snyderbot asshurt is through the roof right now and it is comical to see them seethe over a more comic book accurate Superman movie.
Epc11223
Epc11223 - 6/27/2024, 12:54 PM
@HermanM - you’re no better than them with an unprovoked comment like “snyderverse fans are on suicide watch”. I don’t understand why someone can’t be excited about something without the need to put others down.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 1:04 PM
@Epc11223 - I am better because I actually like the characters, they don't, and their taste is terrible.

If you're just going to be the sensitive editorial police for everything I say, there's no point to us communicating and I'm going to block you.
Epc11223
Epc11223 - 6/27/2024, 1:11 PM
@HermanM - you’re not a true Superman fan…….lol that’s you’re go to, when you’re wrong you say you’re going to block the person.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 1:23 PM
@Epc11223 - I am, and the people who don't like the character and the point of the character as defined by his creators aren't fans, and I'm okay with saying that.

I don't just say I'll block the person, I do it. I'm not interested in personality attacks. Either refute my arguments or talk to someone else.
Epc11223
Epc11223 - 6/27/2024, 1:38 PM
@HermanM - nope, you’re not a true superman fan. A true superman fan know that the character has been around 80 plus years and there are versions that resonate more than others but all are valid. Gunn gets it. A true fan also aspires to be better. You’re just egotistical and think you’re better than everyone else. A true superman fan at least tries to talk to people with respect. Block me, don’t block me, doesn’t really matter.
HermanM
HermanM - 6/27/2024, 1:45 PM
@Epc11223 - A true Superman fan doesn't like the snyderverse garbage. Cw, or New 52. If you like that stuff and have a problem with what Superman's creators created, you're not a fan of the character. Simple as. I do not respect snyderbots or their opinions, they have earned any disrespect they are given from me.

You want to be a fence straddler and say the deconstructionists are fans too when they're obviously not, then condemn me for defending the actual character against them.

You never refute any of my criticisms, you just repeat platitudes over and over and finger wag about sensitivity training.

I'm blocking you, mate. Good riddance.

@Mixedsuperman - it's grainy footage from far away
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 6/27/2024, 9:21 AM
Look at how the civilians are dressed. It's very retro. I wonder if Gunn's universe is going for a timeless feel like Tim Burton's Batman films.
mountainman
mountainman - 6/27/2024, 9:28 AM
@comicfan100 - Some are retro others look modern. That bald dude in the blue suit with one button buttoned 100% could only exist over the last 5-10 years. But other people look like they are from the 70’s /80’s. It’s so weird!
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 6/27/2024, 9:49 AM
@mountainman - Yeah. Some of these styles are coming back irl, but it feels very intentional here.
mountainman
mountainman - 6/27/2024, 9:54 AM
@comicfan100 - Gunn may intentionally be trying to make the movie come from an indistinguishable time period.
Mixedsuperman
Mixedsuperman - 6/27/2024, 9:55 AM
@mountainman - Its kinda in the same spirit that Singer tried with Superman Returns. Just not as gothic heavy. There are definitely touches of art deco. I personally like a completely modern and semi futuristic world for Metropolis in the same fashion as like the latter seasons of Westworld.

@comicfan100 - I could see that , something similar perhaps to the animated series even?.

Makes me even more interested to see this version of Gotham.

I am so [frick]ing excited about this movie.

I just hope James Gunn doesn't kill off Mr Terrific.

Hold on, since when did Mr Terrifoc fly??
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 6/27/2024, 9:51 AM
@THEKENDOMAN - That's clearly some sort of jetpack of some kind. But he sometimes flies on his T spheres
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 6/27/2024, 10:00 AM
That has got to be the most awkward flying scene, even though it hasn't been edited, I've ever seen. That takeoff makes Superman IV believes a man can fly. yeeesh
