Zack Sharf Digital News Director The new Superman suit has finally officially debuted. As filming on James Gunn‘s “Superman” (formerly “Superman: Legacy”) continues, the writer-director shared to his Threads account a first look at star David Corenswet in costume as the Man of Steel. The first thing fans might notice is the suit is quite dirty and weathered, which suggests Superman will be doing plenty of down and dirty fighting in the movie.
Corenswet is getting the big break of a lifetime as the star of “Superman,” which marks his first time leading a major Hollywood tentpole film. The 30-year-old actor is best known for his supporting roles in two Ryan Murphy-created Netflix series, “The Politician” and “Hollywood.” His most notable film role prior to “Superman” was probably “Pearl,” the Ti West-directed horror movie starring Mia Goth. Starring opposite Corenswet in “Superman” is “The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel” Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult is taking on the role of Superman’s infamous villain Lex Luthor, while Gunn’s cast also includes Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillon (Guy Gardner), Isabela Mercad (Hawkgirl) and more. While originally titled “Superman: Legacy,” Gunn revealed in February that he trimming the title down to just “Superman.” Around the same time, Gunn posted the first cast photo from the movie’s first table read of the script.
Speaking to Variety at the SAG Awards this year, Brosnahan said it was thrilling to hear Gunn’s words aloud. “It was pretty amazing,” Brosnahan said about the table read. “Some of us met for the first time.
