SUPERMAN Set Photo Recreates A Touching Moment From DC Comics' ALL-STAR SUPERMAN

As upset as many fans were to see Henry Cavill's time as the Man of Steel reach its end, it's been clear for a while now that the world wants a more optimistic, less brooding version of the character on screen. 

All signs point to us getting exactly that in DC Studios' Superman, something that's evident from a newly discovered Easter Egg. 

Copies of The Daily Planet spotted on set have already teased the Krytonian's heroic deeds, but we now see that just like his comic book counterpart in All-Star Superman, this Kal-El similarly flew a group of young cancer patients to see the Egyptian Pyramids. 

This is exactly what Superman fans have been waiting to see from the hero; whether any of these good deeds which extend beyond saving the world or Metropolis make it into the movie itself remains to be seen. 

A new shot of David Corenswet as Clark Kent has also surfaced which shows The Daily Planet reporter walk by a star full of "Superman" merchandise (some of which are real-life products, including statues produced by McFarlane Toys and Pure Arts).

This suggests he's been serving as a superhero for some time and is popular among Metropolis' residents. 

Finally, filmmaker James Gunn has shared a new behind-the-scenes photo of his Superman cast. 

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.

Fantastic. Gunn just keeps doing all the right things so far. I can't wait to see this movie!

@HermanM - My gosh, you lick Gunnanus harder than any Snydercuck there was. 🤣, but I'm sure the movie will be better than Snyder's offerings. I'm a big lover of 70% of MoS though.

@UniqNo - Gunn is doing the right things so far so he should be praised though. Unlike Snyder and his cult of personality followers.

@UniqNo - the only good things in Snyder's MOS were the Metropolis fight and the scene where he breaks the handcuffs.

@HermanM - Na, that metropolis fight is my biggest gripe.

He shoulda flown Zod out to a desert somewhere and been alot more aware of the destruction he was causing, that and the way they killed of Pa Kent were dumb.

The suit, flying, smallville fight, musical score were all amazing. He was just too broody.

I like where they left him joining the Daily Planet though and wanted to see that journey continue but they made him a side character his own sequel and doubled down on the broodiness.

@UniqNo - if by flying, I presume you mean his initial flight scene and that was great.

@RolandD - All of it, we were eating with the amazing flights we got in that movie.

@The1st - Imagine how much money they would have saved on that budget had they done that in a desert. The Smallville fight scene were destructive enough and was much more effective.

@UniqNo - Pa Kent's death was terrible and overly contrived and stupid, like much of the movie.

In addition to the shuffled storytelling which was more incoherent at times than not and the brooding mopey tone of the movie, the entire take on Superman was wrong. They portrayed him as the Martian Manhunter, a fish out of water, first contact story, nomad who only does good due to his alien nature while the Clark Kent aspect was only a detriment to him and stifled him the entire time. The suit and its reason were dumb, Clark should have created the costume and S symbol himself, the movie missed out on an opportunity to really dive into the motivations of why Clark Kent created the Superman persona as well as the mild mannered reporter disguise, instead it tacks the reporter disguise on at the end after doing away with the secret identity and makes the whole reason he is Superman because he was told to be by his alien space ghost AI dad in a cave. The real character is the opposite, being an alien is just the explanation for the superpowers in the comics for 70 years and in Siegel & Shuster's version, but the movie overemphasized this aspect to the point of dehumanizing Superman, losing Clark Kent, and making the character boring.

The only good things for me were seeing him punch something, it is just too bad the movie didn't make anyone care about what was going on by the time that happened.

Killing Zod and the Metropolis fight are the least of the problems with the movie.

HermanM - 6/27/2024, 4:00 PM
@UniqNo - Thr Smallville fight was dumb because Snyderman literally flies Zod into a populated area and it is a town that Clark grew up in, and he does this while leaving 3 of Zod's henchmen with Martha. 🤡

The Metropolis fight already had half of the city destroyed from the world engine. I think the fight would have been better if they illustrated Zod trying to attack people and keep going back into the city more, culminating in him maniacally trying to just kill random people who can't escape from him, which results in Superman killing him. They needed to illustrate that better. I didn't like that they changed how heat vision works in it either.

@HermanM - Zack portrayed Superman in REALITY. His suit made sense, he's a ALIEN so is his suit! The color should look alien also. Henry Cavill LOOKED like Superman!!! His body etc!!! This guy looks like a Henry Cavil knock off who skipped the GYM in a NERF material like suit that's bulky with red undies & belt?????????? This movie looks like the unsuccessful comics that wasn't selling!!!!!!!!!!!

@mck13 - Making the costume alien because Superman is is actually retarded and less realistic: why would Superman, who is sent away as a baby in a makeshift spaceship in an emergency at last minute, have an adult sized costume that just happens to also fit him that also just happens to have a symbol on it that resembles an S for the name he will be called one day?

It is much more realistic if Clark creates the costume himself along with the S shield like how the comics did it for over 70 years.

Henry Cavill is a charisma vacuum and terrible wooden actor who struggles to do an american accent, all he did was mope and scream when he played Snyderman.

Corenswet not only looks just as much like Superman as Cavill, but he has the proper haircut, a more accurate costume with more accurate colors, and he is Superman's actual comic book height and an actual American and can act and has a personality. He will do great.

@HermanM - Me too!

Also, I want that merch in the background of the black & white photo. The coffee mugs are cool; but I also want a closer look at those Superman statues. The S is the same, but wondering if they repurposed existing statues & just added the new symbol.

@mck13 - So take the most upbeat, hopeful character and make him just as moody and miserable as everyone else? Good idea! Red trunks aren’t realistic enough for your alien superhero? Like, aliens would never wear that in real life? Come the f on 😂

That’s cool!!.

Also man , Corenswet looks a lot like Brendan Fraser (perhaps him for Jor El?).

That’s cool. One thing Snyder got right was the physics of Superman’s strength like how he was slowly pulling the ship by its anchor chain through the ice cause if he tried to push it or lift it his hands would go through it and pulling it fast would pull the chain out. And saving the rocket how it buckled and bent from where his hands were. That’s why I hated the Joss scene of Superman carrying an entire building away. And in the Superman Returns scene where he saves the plane, he would have went through the nose of that plane trying to hold it like he did. As for under the bus shot if he’s grabbing it at the right spots on the frame it’ll hold but not for a long time.

@AnthonyVonGeek - When it comes to the physics of the scenes you said, it's cool details, but it's also in a movie based on a comic book about a flying alien who shoots heat beams from his eyes. Gotta let some things slide.
JonC
JonC - 6/27/2024, 4:39 PM
@AnthonyVonGeek - .. and the oil rig that fell over? It was 2" pipe under his feet used as a catch net for people that fall off the helicopter platform that he was using as a base to support that tilting oil rig.... can't say the physics were anything short of mega stupid on that.

@AnthonyVonGeek - The physics in all of these movies don’t hold up under scrutiny but it’s Superman so it really shouldn’t have to. I’d be more concerned with making it entertaining.

@RolandD - Yeah, she was going to jump since she thought her therapist was bailing on her, but he just got caught up by a Superman save. And then Superman tells her he really was caught up with something.

Poor kids had to sit in the bus for a 35 hour flight to Egypt. No way that bus would hold up if he was flying faster than 150 miles an hour in the air. lol.

@JobinJ - Not to mention that he would have to have been flying at a fairly low altitude the entire time, as school buses don't have pressurized cabins, from what I recall...!☮️😉
