David Corenswet Settles the Superman Trunks Debate (With a Better Reason Than the Comics)
When a fresh interpretation of a well-known character comes to life on the movie screen, filmmakers can introduce their unique twist on traditional designs. In the case of the upcoming ‘Superman’, there was much discussion about whether David Corenswet’s Kryptonian would stay true to the character’s roots by incorporating red shorts in his costume. During a visit to the set of ‘Superman’, director James Gunn revealed that it was actually Corenswet who made a compelling argument for wearing trunks, suggesting that doing so might make him seem more relatable to younger fans. This idea went against Gunn’s initial thoughts about having Corenswet’s Superman not wear trunks at all.
