As a passionate cinephile, I’ve been thrilled to catch a fresh glimpse of David Corenswet as Superman – an image that many believe should have been the initial sneak peek of the hero in the upcoming DCU reboot. In the year 2024, director James Gunn unveiled this first glimpse of Corenswet as Superman. The picture, which portrays the Man of Steel casually putting on his boots while a massive alien spacecraft looms in the background, has stirred a mixed reaction among fans. This response was largely due to the image suggesting Superman wasn’t about to leap into action, and also because it felt like a subdued introduction to the costume design.

Fandango recently unveiled a unique image showing Corenswet in the iconic Superman attire, as shown below. The snapshot finds Superman standing tall within the Fortress of Solitude, adopting a dynamic action stance that offers a clear view of the entire costume. The ensemble draws inspiration from multiple comic book sources, such as the emblem on his chest reminiscent of “Kingdom Come,” the elevated collar influenced by the New 52 series, and the traditional red shorts. This amalgamation results in a design that maintains the essence of Superman while showcasing its own unique style.

‘Superman’ Marketing Has Focused on the Human Elements

For approximately a year now, James Gunn has unveiled the first visual of Superman. Since then, with trailers, posters, and additional promotional materials, fans have had numerous glimpses of David Corenswet as the Kryptonian hero. The most recent image doesn’t provide any fresh insights about the costume, yet it underscores the influence marketing has on how an audience perceives a film. Remarkably, it also sheds light on why Gunn opted for the initial reveal to present Corenswet as Superman and his new suit to the world.

The initial portrayal of Superman appears to mimic the famous cover of “All-Star Superman” featuring a laid-back Superman on a cloud. Director Gunn intends to present his version of Superman as more human and relatable, which is why he chooses to show him in his Metropolis apartment instead of the Fortress of Solitude. Additionally, he opts for a casual demeanor rather than the typical comic book hero action pose. This choice, coupled with the teaser trailer and sneak peek that begin by depicting a bruised Superman, aims to make him seem more relatable to an audience who often perceives him as too powerful.

Gunn’s focus on the human aspect and the superhero in Superman has sparked significant debate, particularly among Snyder fans who are still upset about Warner Bros.’ choice to replace Henry Cavill. It seems this group was never going to support any changes made by Gunn regarding Superman. Nevertheless, marketing strategies for Superman have proven effective, as both the teaser and trailer on YouTube have garnered a massive viewership. Showing a five-minute sneak peek of Superman before screenings of A Minecraft Movie, the most popular movie of 2025 thus far, has certainly boosted its visibility. Here’s hoping that all these efforts yield positive results, as the fate of the DCU hinges on Superman’s robust shoulders.
