A video has surfaced online of David Corenswet's Superman suit, and it offers a chance to get a close-up of the reimagined costume the actor wears in the upcoming film.

Judianna Makovsky (Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War), who previously collaborated with James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Suicide Squad, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is the costume designer for Superman. Although it should be noted that the Superman suit was a collaborative process between Makovsky, Gunn, and Corenswet.

As for the Man of Steel himself, David Corenswet has expressed how much he’s loving every moment of stepping into the role of DC’s iconic big blue Boy Scout. Interestingly, he’s also admitted that he feels the real pressure falls more on James Gunn as the director and mastermind behind the DCU.

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.

Also appearing in supporting roles 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.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I think telling a great story is more important. Plus he'll get an upgrade for the sequel. People are trying to hard to nit pick this movie, just let it go haha

dragon316 - 4/21/2025, 9:17 AM

@bobevanz - how many goodd story’s can people expect with good vs bad all time in comic book movies never changes only characters story and plot always remain same in these movies it’s characters are different

BruceWayng - 4/21/2025, 9:30 AM

@dragon316 - Well said

RegularPoochie - 4/21/2025, 9:32 AM

@bobevanz - Just watch him getting his actual suit in this for the last battle.

JurassicClunge - 4/21/2025, 9:35 AM

@RegularPoochie - and if he doesn't, you owe me a b!tch!

Preferably a hot one 👀

RegularPoochie - 4/21/2025, 10:44 AM

@JurassicClunge - Glad that I don't need to give you anything.

JurassicClunge - 4/21/2025, 11:50 AM

@RegularPoochie - 😅 we shall see sir!!

M3T4LL0 - 4/21/2025, 8:58 AM

Suit look great. Haters gonna hate.

Lisa89 - 4/21/2025, 9:00 AM

That lighting is doing the suit no favors at all. It looks even more like a sweater. Not good.

TGDestroyer - 4/21/2025, 9:15 AM

@Lisa89 - It's like playing a game, choosing a costume, and then opting for the matte look over the glossy (MCU) finish.

Lisa89 - 4/21/2025, 9:33 AM

@TGDestroyer -

RockReigns - 4/21/2025, 9:02 AM

Again, all you are talking about is the suit. And then suddenly we need to know every actor and who they’re playing in the movie.

Y’all gotta change the 400 word minimum thing.

breakUbatman - 4/21/2025, 9:14 AM

@RockReigns - All this time I've been wondering we keep getting all this other repeat information in articles. I never made the connection to the word count.

vectorsigma - 4/21/2025, 9:20 AM

@breakUbatman - most are copy pasting from previous articles to make the 400-word limit.

RolandD - 4/21/2025, 12:47 PM

@breakUbatman - Yeah, I just realized this last week.

harryba11zack - 4/21/2025, 9:08 AM

it still just looks like a standard CW biker suit.

CaptainAwkward - 4/21/2025, 9:19 AM

I have my reservations about this film, I am highly dubious about it but one of the things I do like is the suit. I have no complaints about it, I like it. I think it’s fine for what they are going for which is straight up goofiness.

slickrickdesigns - 4/21/2025, 9:20 AM

All messing aside, I am pretty excited to see what they do with this Superman movie. Could be the start of something fun and intriguing.

vectorsigma - 4/21/2025, 9:21 AM

So will they bring dogs in the theaters this time around? 😅

JurassicClunge - 4/21/2025, 9:22 AM

😩

Story should be good though 👀

MG0019 - 4/21/2025, 9:23 AM

The Warner Bros studio tour is a cool thing to check outif you get the chance.

BruceWayng - 4/21/2025, 9:28 AM

It’s the torso that makes it look off. The stomach area needs to be more tapered and the chest needs to come out a little more to resemble pecks. It’s too boxy as is. Hopefully they’ll make adjustments or change it in futures like Marvel did with Cap’s costume in the first Avengers.

TheVisionary25 - 4/21/2025, 9:35 AM

I still don’t particularly like the lines but I am trying to get over them since I understand it’s to add more texture to the suit so oh well..

I do like the rest though , especially the collar!!.

Superspecialawesomeguy - 4/21/2025, 9:36 AM

Def think that they're going with the whole homemade "Thanks my mom made it" situation with this version of Clark's suit.

NonPlayerC - 4/21/2025, 10:31 AM

@Superspecialawesomeguy - between the intricate lines on the sleeve, the material with the raised bumps, boots with differing levels, and plastic or hard superman symbol and belt, it definitely doesn't look home made. it doesn't look great in my opinion lol but not home made. I actually like the look of the trunks actually being trunks and not the equivalent of red whitey tighties but everything else including the belt aint for me. Home made would be better. Pretty much Brandon rouths suit from superman returns but with bigger trunks

Pictilli - 4/21/2025, 10:33 AM

@Superspecialawesomeguy - I wish they were, but at least the suit has the right parts and colors

RolandD - 4/21/2025, 12:50 PM

@NonPlayerC - Thankfully they got the colors right as opposed to Routh’s suit and the S shield is large enough.

NonPlayerC - 4/21/2025, 1:25 PM

@RolandD - yeah you're absolutely right, Rouths suit needed brighter colors and a bigger S

RolandD - 4/21/2025, 1:34 PM

@NonPlayerC - Fix those things and I would have liked it better, especially the red which was almost brown. I didn’t hate it but I liked it less than Corenswet’s even though there are things I would change with his also. If the overall movie is right, I will be absolutely fine with what we’ve got. Some aspects of it they one hundred percent got right.

NonPlayerC - 4/21/2025, 2:09 PM

@RolandD - exactly, the suit can always be changed in the sequel

NOID - 4/21/2025, 9:48 AM

Yeah, just can’t get into this suit… but if the movie is good, I won’t care… if there’s a sequel, they need to upgrade

TheNewYorker - 4/21/2025, 9:58 AM

By far the worst Superman suit EVER.

Gabimaru - 4/21/2025, 10:10 AM

Pretty sure they will fix this suit in the sequel. They better get rid of those baggy look. It looks like a children's party costume

Pictilli - 4/21/2025, 10:34 AM

I don't like the collar, but at least the suit has the right parts on it (trunks, cape, belt, boots, etc.) and the right colors, so that alone makes it better than the stuff of the last 20 years.

Wow!
It's really sad when you have to do pre-release PR pieces for your suit because you know it's getting a lot of (deserved) flak and criticism for how crappy it looks.

They know they've botched the suit.
If nothing else, this "puff piece" pretty much proves it.

Also funny to me is the fact that all the pre-release promo media and images they're releasing for the suit (illustrated) shows the suit as tapered and form-fitting as it should have actually been made, while the reality is that none of it matches the real-life buggy, foldy un-tapered mess that we ended up with in the photos and the trailer that we actually see.

Again, proving they knew they screwed it up.
You wouldn't need to touch it up in artists images if you had done a perfect job designing and making it.

RolandD - 4/21/2025, 12:53 PM

@spr0cks - If they thought that they screwed up the suit, drawing attention to it is the last thing that they would do.

spr0cks - 4/21/2025, 1:26 PM

@RolandD - That's now how PR cleanups work, though. If you want to get ahead of the negative narrative that the thing whose image you're trying to clean up is suffering from, then you kinda have no choice but to talk about it yourself by way of trying to paint it in a positive light. And that can't happen by avoiding to talk about it or trying "not" to draw attention to it. The negative attention is already here. You have to deal with it whether you like it or not. And unless you want others defining that narrative and perception, you have to get ahead of it yourself. That's what WB are clearly trying to do here - whether or not it will be successfull is a whole different other question.

RolandD - 4/21/2025, 1:29 PM

@spr0cks - Okay. I guess that I am thinking about my own personal style.

JobinJ - 4/21/2025, 1:05 PM

Still looks like Cosplay
