David Corenswet is the Newest Superman in the James Gunn Film
Being a big fan of the many Superman movies and TV shows of the past, I can’t wait to see the newest super hero version, coming to the big screen in July to a theatre near you. The photo above reveals David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel as filming is underway for the new July movie ‘Superman’. In May, director James Gunn shared the first official picture of Corenswet in full costume. In Gunn’s photo, Corenswet is adjusting Superman’s famous red boots. Superman will be Corenswet’s first outing as Clark Kent in Gunn’s new DC Universe. Director James Gunn is certainly no stranger to Panama. James Gunn shot Suicide Squad 2 in Panama City and Colon recently. During his 2 weeks of production, a pregnant stray dog started following him all day, so he decided to rescue the dog. Likewise, producer Peter Safran’s family rescued a small kitten too.
Superman’s impressive cast features Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. Additional characters include María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, and Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl and Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, along with the damaged streets of Metropolis, which are actually the streets of Cleveland Ohio.
James Gunn is the writer and director of Superman, which originally had the title of Superman: Legacy. Peter Safran, co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios with Gunn, will produce Superman. Unlike previous Superman films, Gunn’s version will not be an origin story. It will pick up with Clark working as an established reporter at the Daily Planet. Superman flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.
