James Gunn Drops Exciting Bombshell About Superman: Legacy Suit

Highlights

James Gunn confirms that the release of David Corenswet's Superman suit in Superman: Legacy is still a long way off due to ongoing work and casting processes.

Due to the ongoing actors' strike, David Corenswet is unable to try on the suit, resulting in further delays to its release.

Given the suit's design for Superman: Legacy, it holds great importance for future DCU suits. Consequently, James Gunn intends to take his time to ensure that his long-term vision is fully achieved.

James Gunn recently delivered disappointing news to fans of the DCU regarding the costume that David Corenswet will be wearing in the upcoming film, Superman: Legacy. Gunn has been actively engaging with fans on social media, providing updates on his DCU projects. Much of the focus has been on Superman: Legacy, which is set to be the first DCU movie written and directed by Gunn. These updates have covered casting choices, dispelling rumors, and possibly hinting at the inclusion of one of Superman's most formidable allies. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing writers' and actors' strike, Gunn's ability to progress with his projects has been limited. Nonetheless, fans had been hoping for a glimpse of the Man of Steel's suit designs.

One fan recently asked Gunn on one of his Instagram posts if he could finally reveal the suit. In response, Gunn stated that they are nowhere near ready to do so. It appears that fans will have to wait a while longer before catching a glimpse of David Corenswet's Superman suit. Furthermore, Gunn's comment implies that there is still a significant amount of work to be done before they can unveil the suit. It is even possible that they have not yet decided on a logo for this particular version of Superman.

There is a possibility that the suit has not been released yet because they want to see David Corenswet wearing it first. Due to an ongoing actors' strike, actors are currently unable to perform any work for the studios, including trying on costumes. Even if they have different ideas for the design of the suit, there are several steps involving Corenswet that need to be completed before they can reveal its appearance.

Furthermore, this suit will establish the style for future suits in the DCU, similar to how Henry Cavill's Superman suit in Man of Steel sets the tone for other suits in the DCEU. Therefore, James Gunn should take his time to determine his long-term vision before finalizing the suit for Superman: Legacy.

The release of Superman: Legacy is currently set for July 11, 2025, but it may be subject to delays because of the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. Despite this, the 2025 release date allows Gunn ample time to determine the desired appearance of the Superman suit. Fans will need to be patient and wait a little longer for a glimpse of the suit.
