We recently shared a photo of a Superman cast and crew wrap gift featuring the Man of Tomorrow, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor. While not "official" artwork, it was created by someone involved in the movie and is thereby likely a good indication of what we'll see on screen.
Today, we see the rest of the character designs and that means getting a first glimpse at Hawkgirl's wings, Metamorpho, and Eve Teschmacher's colourful pink attire. Also pictured are Jimmy Olsen and The Engineer, two characters we spotted on set.
The fact their costumes match what we saw in those photos all but confirms this artwork is based on official material the crew member has seen while working on Superman.
Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho was the only Justice League International member we didn't get to see on set, but it's clear James Gunn is sticking to the comic books here.

We recently learned that Superman & Lois will return for its fourth and final season a little sooner than expected on October 7 and The CW has just shared the official descriptions for the two-part premiere.
The first is titled "The End & The Beginning" and teases, "Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) is locked in a brutal battle with Luthor’s monster; Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) and the boys race against time to save General Lane (Dylan Walsh). Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Brent Fletcher & Todd Helbing."
The second episode is going to be called "A World Without" but this synopsis understandably offers no real insights into the outcome of the Man of Steel's battle with Doomsday.
However, it sounds like Lex Luthor is still on the loose and about to enact his twisted plan for Smallville. "Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette) join the fight against Luthor (Michael Cudlitz), who starts making moves in Smallville.

There's a huge amount of intrigue surrounding James Gunn's plans for the Dcu and, this week, the decision to potentially cast Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin as Hal Jordan in HBO's Lanterns has raised eyebrows among fans.
The 56-year-old actor isn't exactly who the majority expected to play the iconic Green Lantern Corps member; now, though, scooper Daniel Richtman has shared some rumoured insights into DC Studios' approach to the character.
Apparently, "they're eyeing Josh Brolin because their vision for Hal Jordan is to have him as an older, gruff, no-nonsense mentor to a younger and reckless John Stewart. And as we know, Brolin excels at playing the grumpy type."
That sounds very much in line with what we'd expected and it's clear now that Gunn has some very specific plans for the Dcu's Hal.
Addressing what the filmmaker is going for beyond that character, Richtman says he's...

DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have given fans an early glimpse of actor Skyler Gisondo in his role as Jimmy Olsen for the upcoming Superman film. Gunn shared two photos of Gisondo in character on social media to celebrate the 83rd anniversary of Jimmy Olsen’s first appearance in comics.
In the comics, Jimmy Olsen debuted on August 19, 1941 working as an “office boy” in Action Comics #6. He later became a photojournalist at the Daily Planet in Metropolis and a close friend to Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Gunn noted Jimmy Olsen’s long history in the comics in his social media post marking the character’s anniversary.
The as-yet untitled Superman movie recently finished filming under Gunn’s direction. He has described his vision for exploring Superman’s struggle to balance his Kryptonian origins with his human upbringing. The movie aims to showcase themes of truth, justice,...

Fans of Superman & Lois are preparing for the final season coming this fall, and there are a few things we’d love to see in the last year!
The CW has been in a major state of flux in the last few years, thanks to network upheaval and the cancellation of scores of shows. That includes the beloved Arrowverse with Superman & Lois eking out a renewal for a fourth and final season. That’s good, as the third season ended on a huge cliffhanger of Superman battling Doomsday.
Season 4 has changes like a big cast overhaul and only ten episodes. Yet, as we get ready to take off into it, here are ten things we’d love to see in Superman & Lois season 4 that would make this final year a great one for fans.

Superman filmmaker and DC studio chief James Gunn has taken to X to offer a first look at Jimmy Olsen, as played by Skyler Gisondo, in his Warner Bros superhero flick.
He posted the set photo yesterday to commemorate the anniversary of the character, who debuted in comic books on August 25, 1941.
“Happy Anniversary to Superman’s pal, Jimmy Olsen, who debuted on this day in 1941 (although he did appear earlier as “office boy” in Action Comics 6),” writes Gunn in the post, which you can view below. “Created by Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster & Bob Maxwell. I can’t wait for you to see @SkylerGisondo’s portrayal in #Superman on July 11, 2025. @dcofficial @superman.”

If you've watched Twisters (and you really should because it's a blast), then chances are you spotted Superman star David Corenswet. And he's playing...well, let's just say his character isn't exactly likeable!
The way he towers over his co-stars in that movie is a pretty good indication he'll make a fine Man of Steel - physically, at least - and we now have footage of the Twisters cast celebrating the news that Corenswet had joined the Dcu.
Filmed during production of the Twister sequel, it sees the likes of Glen Powell and Katy O'Brian absolutely losing their sh*t for the actor's good news and the whole thing is incredibly wholesome. That's nice to see given what Hollywood can be like for rising stars such as Corenswet.

Zack Snyder explained why he had to kill off Jimmy Olsen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as this remains a massive debate among fans. The character, in the comics, is a photojournalist from The Daily Planet who is pals with Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
Credits: Zack Snyder via Netflix
When Olsen was introduced, the viewers expected he’d have more significance in the movie, but he was immediately removed as the story unfolded and revealed he’s a CIA operative. Fans need not worry anymore because James Gunn will correct this in his upcoming Superman film.
Zack Snyder Sheds Light On Jimmy Olsen’s Death
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was one of the most controversial DC installments helmed by Zack Snyder. While it is a commercial hit, the critical reviews were quite harsh. In fact, it only received a disappointing 29% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The live-action world of DC comics is forever going to change, or so the fans believe, after James Gunn took over the reins of the DC franchise. Earlier steered by Zack Snyder, fans are excited to see more ‘comic-book accurate’ versions of their favorite characters and stories in live-action.

One of these many characters is Superman’s best pal, Jimmy Olsen. While Gunn recently revealed his version of the character, several DC fans looked back at Snyder’s version of the character and yet again refused to support his decision and berated him for his controversial choices.

James Gunn’s DC universe is currently undergoing major reconstruction and reorientation with the comic universe’s mainframe being surgically fixed after the past 11 years’ worth of trauma. Among the central triarchy, Superman rises to the occasion before the rest as David Corenswet takes on the mantle passed down from the oh-so-controversial Henry Cavill.

To match James Gunn’s personal ambition, Superman is set to get a most faithful adaptation in live-action with Corenswet already building himself in the image of his comic counterpart. Meanwhile, the director and CEO of DC Studios whips out a sink-or-swim version of the studio’s new chapter that will determine whether the DC cinematic universe will survive in this era of Superhero fatigue.

It's the dawn of a new day in the DC Universe, with James Gunn's upcoming movie "Superman" introducing a new version of the titular Man of Steel, played this time around by David Corenswet. This reset is particularly important for Jimmy Olsen, the fresh-faced photojournalist and cub reporter who works alongside Clark Kent and Lois Lane at the Daily Planet. The most recent movie version of Jimmy was introduced briefly in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" as a CIA operative (played by Michael Cassidy), only to be killed off almost immediately.
Now, through the magic of a soft franchise reboot, Jimmy will be reborn in "Superman" -- played this time around by Skyler Gisondo. To celebrate the 83rd anniversary of Jimmy Olsen's first (named) appearance in DC Comics, Gunn shared a first look of Gisondo in the role. He certainly has the perfect dimpled smile to play Jimmy,...

Today marks 83 years since Jimmy Olsen made his DC Comics debut and Superman writer and director James Gunn has shared two new shots of Skyler Gisondo's version of the character.
One was released on X and the other on Instagram; the actor is wearing the same costume we saw in set photos, suggesting that will be his main look throughout the duration of this movie.
The actor certainly looks the part and is best known for roles in Licorice Pizza, Booksmart, Vacation, The Righteous Gemstones, and Santa Clarita Diet.
It's been a while since we've seen Clark Kent's friendship with Jimmy explored on screen. With Gunn - a huge comic book fan - in charge of the Dcu, that finally looks set to change.

Superman wrapped production last month, but the film’s release is still nearly a year away. This will give Superman director James Gunn enough time to perfect the VFX during the post-production process, and it’s all by design.
On Threads, a fan brought up the plight of overworked VFX artists who are forced to work very tight deadlines in order to get a film out on time. Now that James Gunn is running DC Studios, things will be different, with Superman getting a lengthy post-production schedule.
“If you do some research you’ll see my films have always taken a different approach and I’ve always given my VFX artist-collaborators time to do their jobs properly, and the respect they deserve,” Gunn wrote. “And the quality of the VFX in those films is uniformly great because of it (and because my friends at Weta and Framestore and Ilm and...

Filmmaker James Gunn spent quite a bit of time in the MCU directing the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy (or "quadrilogy" if you could The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special).
As new DC Studios co-ceo, it appears he's learned from both that and a 2023 which saw him forced to make big cuts to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and help reshape The Flash, a failed blockbuster he'd bizarrely describe as one of the "greatest" superhero movies ever made.
Taking to Threads, Gunn shared insights into how he's approaching VFX and why Superman, which wrapped shooting in July, will be in post-production for close to a year.

What a week it's been in comic books. The Power Fantasy No. 1 by Kieron Gillen with art by Caspar Wijngaard was a reminder to read comic books from Image Comics, Daredevil No. 12 by Saladin Ahmed continued to show a side of Daredevil we’re still not used to seeing, andI can’t forget Absolute Power No. 2, during which Amanda Waller and Brainiac Queen did something that even Superman can’t forgive.
This week, these 10 new titles are also must-reads. But that doesn't mean we can't make some time for a classic pick too.
As always, let’s start with the pick of the week.

Production on Superman wrapped up last month, but James Gunn told a fan on Threads that there’s still a lot of work to be done. “Heck no. Once you’re done shooting you’ve only just begun!” Gunn wrote. “Still lots of editing, VFX, sound, and scoring to be done!” When another fan mentioned that reshoots might add a lot of time to the post-production process, Gunn responded, “I don’t know.

In a lengthy new post on Threads, filmmaker James Gunn has revealed that he doesn't anticipate helming any reshoots for his upcoming Superman reboot.
That may sound like a bold proclamation (what if test audiences don't like it?!) but Gunn's track record speaks for itself, something that's evident from him pointing out what happened while shooting his last two movies.
According to Gunn, "I've done a total of one day of reshoots on my past two films combined." As a reminder, those were Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Suicide Squad, two incredibly successful blockbusters which have 82% and 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively.
These insights from the DC Studios co-ceo are fascinating as they unpack his creative process. We also see how his methodical approach to the movies he writes and directs means extensive reshoots, which typically rework movies during post-production, aren't required.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" not only features a bunch of Deadpool variants making up the infamous Deadpool Corps. from Marvel Comics, it also reveals a bunch of Wolverine variants from across the multiverse. One of them is comically short, both in accuracy when compared to the comics and visually hilarious, while another has been given quite the grandiose crucifixion on a massive X in the middle of a pile of blood-red skulls. But one of them is a totally ripped, gruff, and perfectly grumpy Wolverine played by none other than "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill.
The introduction of this version of Wolverine not only takes a stab at DC Comics letting their Big Blue Boy Scout go without much of a celebrated send-off, but it shows that Cavill was basically in the wrong comic book universe this whole time. While it's not likely that we'll see Cavill pick up the...

While The Boys put Jack Quaid (the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) on the map, the actor has proven that there's more to him than just Hughie thanks to memorable performances in the likes of Scream, Oppenheimer, and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
He's also joined the DC Universe in recent years as the voice of the Man of Steel in Adult Swim's popular My Adventures With Superman. The show has exceeded expectations since launching and Quaid is frequently praised for his take on the hero.
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to secure him the role title role in DC Studios and James Gunn's live-action Superman reboot.
Talking to Josh Horowitz, Quaid confirmed he auditioned but admitted to not getting particularly far in the process. "I think everyone did,'" he says in the video below. "If you fit a bill...it’s like just one of those things.

James Gunn announced on Threads that “Superman” is getting closer to the end of filming after the cast and crew wrapped a six-week shoot in Cleveland. The writer-director stressed that “we are not done shooting” and there’s “still a couple weeks left,” adding: “It’s a long shoot…but we’re getting close!!” Prior to Cleveland, Gunn and his “Superman” cast kicked off production in Atlanta.
“Cleveland — today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting,” Gunn posted. “From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place. I would walk down your streets and someone would stop me and tell me how grateful they were we were shooting in their city — not once, not twice, but dozens of times.”

Shooting continued on Superman this weekend and things aren't looking good for the Man of Tomorrow in Metropolis' LordTech Field.
The Engineer and Ultraman circle the downed hero who is clearly struggling to get to his feet. After a brief conversation where Superman seemingly addresses them both, the Kryptonian takes flight, likely fleeing the battle to regroup.
While it's strange to see Superman leave a fight like this, he may have no other choice. However, seeing as The Engineer can clearly go toe-to-toe with Supes, it appears he doesn't have the same God-like powers as Henry Cavill's version.

Work has resumed on Superman in Cleveland's Progressive Field Metropolis' LordTech Field, and David Corenswet's Man of Tomorrow has been spotted taking flight.
As you'll see below, he's spinning through the air during what looks like an exciting battle with Ultraman and The Engineer. While the latter briefly overpowers him (suggesting she's even more powerful than her comic book counterpart), an angry Supes soon takes the fight to the villains.
All signs still point to Ultraman being considerably stronger than the Kryptonian, likely explaining the name. Little is known about this version of the character, though we anticipate him being a clone rather than a Multiversal doppelganger.
The fact he's wearing a mask suggests that reveal will be saved for later in the movie, though we're keeping everything crossed that when Superman does unmask Ultraman, the face staring back at him is both his own and the Dcu's take on Bizarro.

Up, Up, and Away! Truth, Justice, and The American Way. These immediately cause comic fans to conjure up one specific character, The Big Blue Boy Scout. Superman. Heralded as the one that started the superhero boom in comics way back in 1938, there have been a lot of live-action versions over the years. Last year’s Flash movie highlighted some of the more popular ones and even one that had never actually been put on film. With James Gunn taking over the Dcu and using a new Superman film as the starting line, what can we expect from the upcoming film?
Who’s In It?
It’s always interesting to see who will get the chance to put on the suit. Will they go more for the look of Superman, or will they find an actor who can convey the wholesomeness of the character? Sometimes, they get both. The characters surrounding...

Earlier today, we got a first look at the cast of Superman assembling at Metropolis' Lordtech Field. The baseball stadium will be home to an epic battle between the movie's heroes and villains and, in these latest videos, we see more of that clash.
Superman and Ultraman are shown exchanging punches likely after the Man of Steel drags the mystery baddie across the ground, though all signs point to the hero being no match for a character many believe is his clone.
As you may recall, rumours have swirled about Lex Luthor making his own Superman in the form of "Ultraman," with the expectation being that the clone will eventually be unmasked as a twisted new take on Bizarro (a character James Gunn can have fun with).
In a second video, The Engineer fights Mister Terrific, flying through the air with the tech genius before planting him onto the field below.

Rumours have been swirling for the past day or so that Marvel Studios might release the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World today. Unfortunately, their usual trailer release time has been and gone, so we're hoping it's on the way this evening.
In the meantime, we can put the spotlight on another great American icon! With just one year to go before DC Studios releases Superman in theaters, James Gunn has shared the official logo for the Dcu's Man of Steel.
We've seen this on the hero's chest both in an official photo and countless set photos, of course, but the hi-res shot offers our clearest look at the eye-catching Kingdom Come-inspired design yet. It's also quite the departure from what we've seen in the past.
That was perhaps inevitable, especially when Gunn and his DC Studios co-ceo Peter Safran decided to replace Henry Cavill as Superman.

The Man of Steel was back on the set of Superman yesterday, albeit a little worse for wear than normal. An unknown foe had seemingly punched the hero at least a few feet into the ground, with Metropolis' citizens rallying around the hero to help him up.
Now, we have some closer shots of the battle-damaged Supes courtesy of Cleveland.com. Based on these and other photos from the reboot's Cleveland set, it appears the Man of Steel will spend a fair bit of this movie with a dirtied, battered costume.
While Lex Luthor is Superman's main villain, we don't necessarily expect him to get physical with the Kryptonian unless James Gunn plans to finally bring his battle suit to the big screen.
Instead, it seems far more likely that the mysterious "Ultraman" will pose the biggest threat to Superman and is probably the one who sent him crashing down to the city streets.

Over the past couple of days, Superman has moved production to Cleveland's Detroit-Superior Bridge with James Gunn directing extras and stunt performers as they flee from Metropolis (resulting in cars colliding).
Next up is Progressive Field which, based on what we've heard from the set, is being transformed into "LordTech Field."
Yesterday afternoon, stuntmen were spotted rehearsing a scene which appears to show Superman battling an unknown foe in the air before dragging them face-first across the baseball stadium's ground.
Not only is it impressive that this sequence is being shot practically, but it dismisses the complaints from those who feel Gunn is making Superman too soft by embracing the comics. Yes, that's a legitimate complaint on social media!
The actors are expected to report to Progressive Field LordTech Field soon, and we'd bet on the Man of Steel delivering a beatdown to the mysterious masked brute believed to be the Dcu's Ultraman or Bizarro.

As shooting resumes on Superman in Cleveland, Ohio, a stuntman has been injured while filming a high-speed chase sequence on the Detroit-Superior Bridge yesterday.
Cleveland.com broke the news that a stuntman was driving a motorcycle when, "He took a spill, clutching his knee as he hit the ground. The camera crew stopped filming as he was placed on a stretcher and put into an ambulance."
While it thankfully doesn't appear to be anything life-threatening, the site confirms that "The stuntman received treatment for several minutes before the ambulance left the scene with him inside."
His current condition is unknown and there's no word on who he was doubling for; given that he was dressed in black, it's possible he's meant to be Rick Flag Sr. or another of the A.R.G.U.S. agents spotted on set recently.
As for what was being shot, it's said, "The stuntman rehearsed the scene several times without incident.

The Batman was released in 2022 to positive reviews and a $772 million box office haul, making it one of the most successful DC movies in recent memory.
Warner Bros. wasted no time in green-lighting a sequel, while a small screen spin-off - The Penguin - will premiere on Max this September. However, like The Batman, that will take place in Matt Reeves' standalone "Bat-Verse" instead of the Dceu or DC Studios' Dcu.
That means James Gunn will have to cast a new Caped Crusader for The Brave and the Bold, a prospect which hasn't exactly thrilled a lot of fans. The perfect solution would be to add Robert Pattinson's Batman to the Dcu, but it's hard to imagine Reeves or the actor being keen on the idea.
While we don't expect it to happen, a phenomenal piece of fan art offers an idea of what it might look like for...

After David Corenswet’s images from the Superman set in Cleveland, Ohio leaked a few days earlier, fans now get a good look at Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner in a new set of photos. Isabela Merced and Nathan Fillion appeared on the set alongside Corenswet and Edi Gathegi in their full superhero gear. Fans were not kind to the actors’ attires as Merced received harsh criticism for the Hawkgirl costume.

Both Fillion and Merced’s costumes were designed similarly to the one worn by Gathegi’s Mister Terrific, featuring a Lord Tech logo. James Gunn responded to the Superman leaked images, sharing that it was fully expected after the outdoors filming.

Earlier today, we got a first look at Nathan Fillion and Isabela Merced suited-up as their respective characters on the set of James Gunn's Superman, and thanks to some new photos, we now have a better look at Green Lantern Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl's costumes.
Like Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), both Gardner and Kendra Saunders' are sporting the Lordtech logo on their suits, which indicates that they will all be part of a team (most likely an early incarnation of the Jli) assembled by the villainous Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn).
We're not sure whether the other heroes will attempt to recruit the Man of Steel (David Corenswet), but they are all clearly working together.
In related news, production is set to move to Cincinnati later this month, and there's speculation that filming could take place at the Cincinnati Union Terminal - which was the inspiration for the Hall of Justice.

Despite a divisive first look, Superman has greatly impressed fans in recent weeks. That's down to what feels like an endless supply of photos and footage from the movie's Cleveland set, all of which have showcased the reboot's characters and "Metropolis" setting.
Way back in 2013, it was down to Zack Snyder to put a fresh spin on Superman in Man of Steel. That split opinions for its take on the iconic DC Comics character, as did Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
With Superman, James Gunn is looking to relaunch the hero and the entire Dceu as the new Dcu. We won't know how he's fared until sitting down to watch this movie, but in the meantime, there are some telltale signs that the filmmaker's vision for Superman is vastly better than what's come before.

James Gunn’s Superman movie is currently shooting in Cleveland, and over the last week, we’ve seen plenty of photos emerging from the set. One such photo has revealed a very special cameo which honours Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in four movies.
Will Reeve, Christopher’s youngest son, will make a cameo in Superman. He’s said to be playing a TV reporter in the film, which shouldn’t be too much of a stretch as he works as an ABC News correspondent.
Will, along with his older siblings Matthew and Alexandra, was also featured in the Super/Man documentary, which celebrates his father’s life and disability activism following the horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. “The majority of my memories of my dad involve him after the accident because I was not yet three years old when he was injured,” Will told...

Work has resumed on Superman in Cleveland (we're going to miss these daily updates when the production inevitably moves elsewhere) and the Man of Steel is back in action!
This time, David Corenswet's iconic DC Comics superhero is shown taking flight to try and save a falling civilian. That is indeed the actor performing his own stunts for the scene and, in contrast to other recent photos, it appears Superman's suit is a lot more beaten up here.
In fact, it looks as dirty as the version seen in James Gunn's divisive first-look photo, suggesting this sequence takes place later in the film when Metropolis comes under attack.

If you need further convincing that David Corenswet is the Man of Tomorrow after the past week or so of set photos, look no further than these latest snaps from the set of Superman.
Production continues in Cleveland, Ohio, and the iconic DC Comics superhero has now been spotted taking flight. As you might expect, Corenswet's Kal-El kneeled to the ground before leaping up, up and away (with special effects no doubt set to show him taking off after he jumped into the air).
The actor certainly looks the part and this is an iconic piece of Superman imagery which should look incredible on screen.
We're hearing rumblings that Hawkgirl and Supergirl could be next to be seen on set, so the reveals might not end here. In the meantime, though, this is a fantastic sight to behold and we'll hopefully get some footage to go with the photos in due course.

Work has resumed on Superman today and David Corenswet has just been spotted suited up as the Man of Steel holding some sort of falling debris.
It's hard to identify exactly what he's holding, though it's likely it will be swapped out in post-production, anyway! In the full gallery of photos posted by Cleveland.com, shocked onlookers watch on and Superman is approached by a dog.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be Krypto and is likely just a fun moment which sees the adorable pooch walk up to Metropolis' protector as he looks to stop nearby citizens from getting hurt.
This is the Superman many fans have been waiting to see on screen and between this and the newspaper headlines spotted on set, it's fair to say this version of the character is a very proactive superhero.
"I completely relate to Superman because he’s everything I am," filmmaker James Gunn previously said.

Work on Superman continues in Cleveland, though how much more we'll see from the reboot's set is tough to predict. A new video recaps some of what we've missed, including a glimpse of Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner!
It appears The Suicide Squad star was shooting scenes inside and, when he exited the building, Fillion was covered from head-to-toe in a cloak which, unfortunately, hides his costume. As a result, we've missed out on getting a first look at the Dcu's first Green Lantern...for now, at least.
You can watch the full video in the player below.

Hollywood star Chris Pratt has ignited speculation about a potential jump to the DC Universe (Dcu) following a recent visit to the set of James Gunn’s highly anticipated “Superman: Legacy.” The actor, best known for his role as Star-Lord in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of joining the competing superhero universe.
In a recent interview with TMZ, Pratt confirmed that “there’s always a chance” he could make the leap to DC. When asked directly if he would join the franchise, Pratt responded with an enthusiastic, “Yes, of course.” He added, “If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense, I would love it.”
The speculation began when James Gunn, now co-head of DC Studios, shared a photo of Pratt visiting the “Superman: Legacy” set earlier this month. Gunn captioned the image, “Always nice to have friends visiting set,...

After taking on the MCU multiverse, Chris Pratt isn’t ruling out a jaunt to the Dcu.
Following his recent visit with director James Gunn on the set of Superman, the actor said “there’s always a chance” he could make the franchise leap, but he played coy when it came to naming a character he’d like to play.
“I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide,” Pratt told TMZ. “I’m not exactly sure. I’m truly not sure.
When asked flat-out if he’d join the competing franchise, Pratt didn’t hesitate in declaring, “Yes, of course”
“If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense, I would love it,” he continued. “Of course I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance that can come back. I just feel so blessed to be able to do any of it,...

Superman set photos have been coming in thick and fast this week, and if we're lucky, another round will hit later today. Yesterday was all about Mister Terrific, though, with Edi Gathegi's genius superhero seemingly interacting with Krypto before being lasered in the foot.
Now, upon closer inspection, we see that Mister Terrific is sporting the Lordtech logo on his chest. We know that belongs to the company owned by Maxwell Lord because it was previously spotted in a Metropolis store window.
Why is this important? Well, not only does it suggest that Mister Terrific is working for Lord at this stage in his superhero career but it may also confirm previous rumours about the Justice League International factoring into Superman.
In the comics, Lord was introduced as a businessman who established his own superhero team, the Jli. He financed the operation but was secretly up to no good,...

James Gunn’s Superman continues to get flak from the fans of Zack Snyder. However, one of the latest leaked images from the film would make any Superman fan happy. The image alluded to an instance from the comic book and fans are already thrilled to see the tiny detail that Gunn has included in his movie.

Gunn has already impressed some comic book fans with his comic-accurate characters. Snyder fans may provide some leniency toward Gunn after the attention to comic detail, something the Man of Steel director was also keen on.

As upset as many fans were to see Henry Cavill's time as the Man of Steel reach its end, it's been clear for a while now that the world wants a more optimistic, less brooding version of the character on screen.
All signs point to us getting exactly that in DC Studios' Superman, something that's evident from a newly discovered Easter Egg.
Copies of The Daily Planet spotted on set have already teased the Krytonian's heroic deeds, but we now see that just like his comic book counterpart in All-Star Superman, this Kal-El similarly flew a group of young cancer patients to see the Egyptian Pyramids.
This is exactly what Superman fans have been waiting to see from the hero; whether any of these good deeds which extend beyond saving the world or Metropolis make it into the movie itself remains to be seen.

This week, we've been treated to a first look at many of Superman's lead characters. However, the only two superheroes on hand have been the Man of Steel himself and Mister Terrific.
Now, a new set video has surfaced on social media showing the dynamic duo on a Metropolis rooftop. What's weird about this one, though, is the fact Terrific is wearing some sort of flying rig.
Actor Edi Gathegi is lifted into the air and Superman snaps off a salute to his fellow hero before he makes an unsteady landing. It's a pretty cumbersome-looking contraption, though it could be that it's meant to be a battle suit of some sort.
We're expecting shooting to continue in Cleveland today, so it's possible we'll see more of this and other Superman cast members. Even if the big reveals are starting to wind down, we've seen enough at this stage to build...

Superman Set Video Reveals New Look At [Spoiler] Taking Down The Man Of Steel And Surprise Dcu Cameo
We'd thought the biggest reveal from Superman yesterday would be a first look at David Corenswet as Clark Kent. However, as cameras continued rolling into the afternoon, we caught a glimpse of Ultraman and The Engineer alongside Creature Commandos and Peacemaker season 2's Rick Flag Sr.
Now, a set video has surfaced which shows Ultraman pinning the Man of Steel to the ground, binding his hands, and then lifting him to his feet as The Engineer, Flag Sr., and military watch on.
We then watch as Ultraman walks Superman down the street while Metropolis' greatest superhero talks to Flag Sr. We'd imagine A.R.G.U.S. is somehow involved and Ultraman's presence is bound to be a big talking point in the coming months.
Rumour has it Lex Luthor creates a Superman clone using the hero's DNA but this guy is even larger than the 6'4" Corenswet. How much...

We thought a first look at Cat Grant was going to be it for Superman set photos today. Instead, it seems nearby photographers were saving the best for last as we now have a shot of David Corenswet as Clark Kent!
Typically, the Man of Steel disguises himself with a pair of glasses and a slight change in hairstyle; in Christopher Reeve's case, his smartly combed hair was replaced with the now-iconic "Superman curl."
Filmmaker James Gunn appears to have taken inspiration from Superman: The Movie, albeit on a somewhat more extreme level. As you'll see below, the Dcu's Clark has a messy mop of curly hair to better disguise himself. With it covering most of his forehead, we can now better believe that his colleagues at The Daily Bugle wouldn't recognise him as Superman.
This isn't necessarily what we expected but it suggests Corenswet will completely change his physicality as Clark Kent,...
