James Gunn Breathes Fresh Life into Superman's Iconic Costume with an Epic Update

Summary

DC fans will have to wait longer to see David Corenswet's Superman costume in "Superman: Legacy" according to James Gunn.

Revealing the "Superman: Legacy" suit now might not be wise, considering its planned release in 2025.

The strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA pose a potential risk of delaying the filming of "Superman: Legacy" and subsequently pushing back the unveiling of the costume.

DC fans eagerly awaiting the new costume for Superman: Legacy will have to exercise some patience, according to James Gunn. The highly anticipated 2025 film, serving as the inaugural movie in the fresh DC Universe, features David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. While various DC superheroes have been revealed for the project, some key aspects, including Superman: Legacy's new costume, remain shrouded in secrecy. Recently, Gunn took to Instagram to break the news that followers will have to wait a little longer for the unveiling of Corenswet's attire.

Following a request from a fan to reveal the Superman suit, Gunn shared a disheartening update, disproving any anticipation by saying, "I'm nowhere near ready to do that." Gunn's statement indicates that the ongoing discussion concerning Corenswet's Clark Kent sporting trunks or not in Superman: Legacy will continue for an extended period.

Why It Makes Sense For Superman: Legacy's New Costume To Not Be Revealed Soon

The release date for Superman: Legacy is set for July 11, 2025. Given that the film is still nearly two years away, it is understandable that Gunn would prefer to keep an important aspect of the movie undisclosed until closer to its release. The Superman costume worn by Corenswet will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the marketing of Superman: Legacy, appearing in promotional materials and trailers. Therefore, there is no urgency to unveil it at the moment.

Additionally, Hollywood is currently facing significant uncertainty as a result of the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. Numerous films and TV shows have been delayed as a consequence. Although the 2025 release date for Superman: Legacy appears relatively secure, there is a possibility that the movie could be impacted, further prolonging the reveal of Corenswet's Superman suit.

Superhero projects frequently unveil their new suits through set photos, just like the comic book-accurate team costumes in Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The production of Superman: Legacy was originally scheduled to start filming in early 2024, but due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Hollywood strikes, there may be delays in filming, pushing back the reveal of the DC Universe's Superman suit. Additionally, Gunn might be waiting to unveil the suit because he hasn't finalized Corenswet's costume for Superman: Legacy.
