SUPERMAN Unused Posters Put The Spotlight On The Man Of Steel And His Closest Allies

A handful of posters not used in the marketing campaign for 2025's Superman have surfaced, putting the spotlight on the Man of Steel, Lois Lane, Mister Terrific, and Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

With the Man of Tomorrow cast finally taking shape, four unused posters for last summer's Superman have found their way online. 

As you'll see in the Instagram gallery below, Superman (David Corenswet), Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) are front and centre. However, we have to believe that more—likely spotlighting the rest of the Justice Gang, for starters—could follow, given what a large cast the movie boasted.

Superman got its fair share of character posters during the build-up to its release, and there are always going to be designs that don't feature in a blockbuster's marketing campaign. 

When it comes to what the future holds in store for these characters, Superman and Lois Lane will return in next year's Man of Tomorrow. A team-up project with Lex Luthor, the James Gunn-helmed movie will see Clark Kent and his foe-turned-ally matching wits with Brainiac. 

Guy is expected to feature in Lanterns for a small cameo role, but Mister Terrific's DCU future is less certain. He was a breakout character in Superman, though, so we surely haven't seen the last of him.

In our review of Superman, we wrote, "Superman is an indescribable joy, and a beautiful, moving thrill ride. David Corenswet is the perfect Man of Steel in a movie packed full of ideas, but under James Gunn’s expert direction, those all work, creating a rousing experience that flies higher than DC has in a very long time."

Written and directed by James Gunn, Man of Tomorrow stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Maria Gabriella de Faria as The Engineer, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag, Sr.

We recently learned that Lars Eidinger will play the movie's big bad, Brainiac, while several actors and characters are rumoured to appear, including John Cena's Peacemaker. Earlier today, it was finally confirmed that Lanterns star Aaron Pierre is officially on board as John Stewart/Green Lantern.

"At its core, [Man of Tomorrow is] about Clark and Lex," Gunn previously shared. "I relate to both of them. I relate to Lex’s ambition and obsession — minus the murder. And I relate to Superman’s belief in people, his Midwestern values. They’re two sides of me," the filmmaker added, emphasising his personal connection to the movie's leads.

Man of Tomorrow arrives in theaters on July 9, 2027.

This man is clearly a genius when it comes to numbers.
Put him in charge of the Department of the Treasury and that $40 trillion debt will be OBLITERATED within a week.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I don't think this poster would have helped the movie become profitable at the box office. Although, it does hide the horrendous suit!

@Forthas - fans like suit before they saw movie especially with stupid underwear they demand it to have

@Forthas - I absolutely HATE the suit. Worst live action Superman suit ever put to screen IMO. Even the one used in Superman & Lois was better. Gunn really has piss poor taste in design and aesthetic.

@EscapeMySight - for me, sometimes the suit looked great in some scenes and other times it was horrible. I don’t think it was the design but the materials used and they had Corenswet get too big. Not a fan of a bulky Superman like all star Superman. Prefer Gary Frank which was modeled after Christopher Reeve. Cavill to me is like the Jim Lee comic book version.

@epc1122 - For me its the entire design. Everything from the material, to the lines all over it, to the collar, to the emblem. I think the entire thing looks horrendously cheap.
epc1122
epc1122 - 3/12/2026, 7:24 PM
@EscapeMySight - I used to hate the collar and even the collar looks different in some places but it is what it is. Respect your opinion but again, I’ve seen some fan designs of the suit and to me it comes off better when it looks more fitted.

epc1122 - 3/12/2026, 7:25 PM
@EscapeMySight - do you have a favorite live action version of the suit?
EscapeMySight
EscapeMySight - 3/12/2026, 8:18 PM
@epc1122 - The fit too, definitely. The Cavill one was better, but the Christopher Reeve suit is still my favourite of them all.

epc1122 - 3/12/2026, 8:25 PM
@EscapeMySight - I liked the Batman v Superman suit but thought at times it looked too puffy. I liked Cavill’s suit in Justice League. The man of steel suit, was probably my least favorite. I used to love reeves suit, still love it but I do think it’s a little dated now. I liked how in Superman and Lois you kind of see the evolution of the suit. The last one was a bit too dark.
EscapeMySight
EscapeMySight - 3/12/2026, 8:42 PM
@epc1122 - Definitely with you there. You couldn't do the Reeve suit in 2026. I think Cavill's suit was a really good modern interpretation of it. For Corenswet, I think an updated but still classic suit would be the way to go.

Agree with Superman and Lois. It wasn't the best suit, but it was better than what we have in the films now. I agree it was too dark at the end and I was never a fan of the shading used on the S which stayed throughout the revisions, oh and thank goodness they got rid of those "clips" they used for the cape had during his Supergirl days. Overall, it was a decent suit for tv.

@EscapeMySight - generally agree with your post. I will say though, Corenswets suit has grown on me
And it really depends on the scene and I’ve seen some really good fan made images of him in the suit. It is what it is though. I love the colors of dean Caine suit. Also the neckline and the side of the cape but not a fan of the shape of the s and the trunks are too much like a bikini to me.

I think this guy does some nice work and i like seeing the Superman’s together.

@Colton - I genuinely don’t get people whose first thought, upon hearing a movie mentioned, is to compare it to another movie out of spite. What does one get out of this?

Are the pictures not coming up for anyone else or is it just me?.

While I do think the film was perhaps a bit too overstuffed , the focus still remained on Clark imo who had a satisfying arc so I hope that remains true for him and Lex as co-leads in MOT aswell…

Also just because there are other heroes in these films doesn’t mean it takes focus away from Superman because they are supporting characters like in pretty much every story who help facilitate his journey through the story.

It really reminds me of MCU Spidey which I know some have issues with but considering he lives in a world of heroes , it’s fun to see him interact and play off that thus same with DCU Superman…

Plus we have had atleast 6 prior Superman films with him as a solo hero regardless of how one felt about them so it’s nice to just do something a bit different now!!.
