James Gunnhas shared the first-ever look at David Corenswet as Superman – and it’s pretty epic.
Gunn shared the image to Threadswith the caption, “Get ready. Superman. 7.11.25.” The photo, which Gunn says was taken on set by Jess Miglio and was entirely on-camera, sees a rather dirty and beaten-up Clark Kent putting on his signature red boots. In the background, a rather terrifying eyeball-looking creature appears to be causing destruction.
Superman, which wasformerly known as Superman: Legacy, is the the first movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU – titledChapter One: Gods and Monsters– and follows a younger Superman as he embarks on a journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent.
It was announced back in Julythat Corenswet, who you might recognize from Ti West’s Pearl, had won the role. He reportedly beat out Nicholas Hoult and Tom Brittney.
The full cast includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Maria Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner,Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemare as Otis,Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, andNicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
