Following the sneak peek, a supposed leak of the full costume started circulating online, prompting Gunn to address the situation.

Gunn recently gave fans a sneak peek at Superman's iconic "S" shield to mark the beginning of filming for the DCU movie. Like with other superhero movies, we can expect set photos and videos to eventually surface, showing Corenswet's Superman costume and the other DCU heroes featured in the film. But these glimpses may not be immediate.

The DCU movie has reportedly begun filming in Norway, possibly for scenes at the Fortress of Solitude, before heading back to the United States in early April. This means fans may have to wait a bit longer to see Corenswet as Superman or Clark Kent. Gunn might also unveil the official Superman costume before Corenswet starts filming scenes off-site.

This approach would ensure that leaked images are not the first glimpse fans get of the highly-anticipated suit. Gunn has not specified when the suit will be revealed, but he did mention last year that it would happen after filming started. Now that filming for the DCU's Superman is in progress, Gunn could unveil the suit at any moment, with a possible first look in April.
