David Corenswet’s Superman Gets a New Suit, But There’s a Surprising Twist!

by

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the new take on Superman by James Gunn, but there’s been some buzz about whether David Corenswet’s second superhero suit will make an appearance in this reboot. Ever since the DCU was announced, Superman’s costume has been a hot topic among fans. The design of Corenswet’s Superman suit is a faithful adaptation of the comic book version, with its striking blue base and bold red accents, complete with red briefs and a yellow belt. Not to mention, the iconic ‘S’ shield on his chest. Initially, there was some criticism when the suit was first unveiled, but as the release of the reboot approaches, opinions about the DCU’s Superman costume have generally been positive.

In recent weeks, marketing for the character Superman has been intense, and one method to maintain excitement is by frequently showcasing Superman’s famous costume in promotional content and digital media. Given the iconic nature of this costume, some fans have speculated whether Tyler Hoechlin’s portrayal of Superman will feature a second costume in the movie. However, hints from a DC mobile game may suggest that the Superman in the DC Universe will indeed don another suit in the film.

The mobile game Injustice 2, which was previously announced on X, has shared that David Corenswet’s Superman and Krypto will be making their appearance in the game soon.

Upon closer inspection, the image seems to reveal an alternate Superman outfit for the film, hinting that this rendition might make an appearance sometime. Moreover, the prominent red collar in the picture strongly implies that this is a fresh take on David Corenswet’s Superman suit.

In other words, it remains uncertain if viewers will witness this costume in James Gunn’s Superman, given that neither the director nor David Corenswet have verified whether an additional suit has been created.

In a previous report by ViewerAnon, as noted in this Reddit discussion, there was a whisper that Superman would wear just one costume in the upcoming movie. However, an image leaked from behind-the-scenes, shared by Gunn, seems to suggest that Corenswet is donning a new suit with red trim on his collar.

Under the guidance and penmanship of James Gunn, the film titled “Superman” delves into the tale of the main character, Superman (a Kryptonian hero), who faces various perils orchestrated by Lex Luthor, all while safeguarding those dearest to him. Joining David Corenswet in the impressive ensemble cast for “Superman” are Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, and Skylar Gisondo.

Will Superman Receive a 2nd Superhero Suit in James Gunn’s Reboot?

In the upcoming movie, it remains uncertain whether David Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman will get a replacement costume; however, existing patterns could justify the need for a fresh outfit based on his character’s development.

In the trailers for the upcoming movie, Superman, it’s been made clear that our hero will engage in numerous battles. Towards the end of the film, his Superman costume will sustain significant damage. It’s intriguing to note that merchandise related to Superman, such as Funko Pop! figures and McFarlane toys, already feature battle-worn versions of the character.

Given the extensive wear-and-tear on his battle suit following encounters with the Engineer, Kaiju, and Ultraman, it seems likely that a backup suit might be stashed away somewhere in the Fortress of Solitude, ready for Superman to retrieve once things calm down. This second suit could potentially be what was inadvertently shown in the Injustice mobile game.

In this upcoming DCU movie, it’s likely that Superman will continue wearing a single suit, though there might be slight modifications to his costume for potential changes in sequels or different DCU ventures under the banner of DCU’s Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
