Some more photos/videos/details from the set of James Gunn's Superman have been shared online, and this time we get to see the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) make a save in the wake of an explosion.

The videos highlight what looks like a pretty exciting practical stunt, while the accompanying shots feature Supes running through the falling debris to shelter a little girl from the blast.

The photos also include a blue figure in a kneeling position. Despite speculation that this might be be a new CGI character, it's most likely just a CGI reference model for Corenswet - but a new rumor relating to the movie's unnamed villain is doing the rounds.

Possible spoilers follow.

Several fan accounts and photographers have shared (since deleted) posts indicating that revealing new details on this mysterious masked man have come to light, and after doing some digging, we're hearing that he has indeed been referred to on set as Bizarro.

This may simply be a placeholder name for a character who appears to be an amalgamation of several comic book villains, but, if accurate, it would certainly be an intriguing development.

Have a look at the photos and videos at the links below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Superman will also star Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl is also rumored to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie, but that's yet to be confirmed.

We're still not sure exactly how these other superheroes will factor into the story, but Gunn has previously revealed that Superman's dual-life as both Clark Kent and the Man of Steel will be explored in the film, suggesting that these characters will be his "super friends." Whether they'll be part of an actual team or not remains to be seen.

“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn captioned the first official photo earlier this year. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film ‘Superman: Legacy.’ By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN,” he added. “Making our way to you July 2025.”

Cool!!.

I do wonder why he’s running towards the girl then flying (unless he’s just close by which could be the case).

Also definitely seems like that suit has been through a scrap now and is dirtied up.

I wonder if this is all from the third act of the film or are they just doing all their Metropolis location shooting in one go?…

I could see it being the latter.

Oh no. Superman is saving a girl. Doesn't he know girls and women don't need no help from men?

Somebody call sweet baby. Clearly they need to bring their genius to movies 🤣

@TheBlueMorpho - sweet baby inc. It's a consulting company for video games. Literally their whole purpose is to make sure the writing for video games is "inclusive" enough.

The cape looks to be shorter, which is an improvement, IMO.

@tylerzero - he may have a smaller cape for stunts.

Yeah right.

Next you'll tell me that the Batmobile in every Batman movie was actually multiple vehicles, each specifically designed for a specific cinematic shot...

@Malatrova15 - True.
This is a hate crime. Cgi that melanin challenged indivdiual out at once Gunn and replace it with someone of the politically prefered pigmentation!
Also, she did not consent!

Jokes aside… that IS Superman if I’ve ever seen him.

@Se4M4NSt4ine -yep

I like that we are seeing Superman save civilians rather than just beat the bad guys.

@TheVisionary25 - yeah call me old fashioned, but I love watching Supes save people in the most unrealistic far fetched way. The bigger the scale the better. He’s the man we wish we could all be in difficult situations, that’s what makes him Superman.

Yes, I like what I'm seeing. We have had "different" for a long time. I think a spot on Superman is what is called for. Saving the kids, getting a cat out of a tree, and rescuing his friends is all part of the mythos that needs to be there. I like the look of it too and think it will be just fine when it hits the big screen.

The other cool thing is Gunn is embracing the internets and getting some hype out in the world. LOTR ONline was the first site that put backstage info online way back when they were filming Fellowship and it worked. We certainly want some surprises but no need for total secrecy. Everyone knows what he's making.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Exact.y. He could still defeat a world engine if they were a thing in the DCU, but this is also what he does. Loving it.

The amount of set photos is getting pretty ridiculous

@Colton - I remember Man Of Steel had a tone of set photos released week after week from that Smallville fight sequence with the Kryptonians. I’m hoping this is the same and all that we’ve seen is just a small chunk of the film…
