First Look: David Corenswet As New Superman Is Breaking The Internet

James Gunn shared that the image was clicked on set 

Filmmaker James Gunn, who is also the CEO of DC Studios, has just dropped an exciting first-look picture of David Corenswet in the legendary role of Superman. The image is special because it also features a stunning redesign of the superhero's iconic suit. The new post, shared on Threads, paints a vivid picture of David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, replete with the classic “S” curl and a fresh take on the superhero garb. The image offers a more grounded portrayal of Superman as he prepares for another day of crime-fighting, captured in the simple act of donning his signature red boot. The costume bears subtle signs of wear and tear, which suggest that Superman has had an arduous time safeguarding the city. The flowing crimson cape and sleek, slicked-back hair that David sports bring forth the timeless essence of the beloved superhero. The film, initially titled  Superman: Legacy, will now be simply called Superman.

Along with the image, James Gunn shared that the film is scheduled to release on July 11, 2025. In the caption, he wrote: “Get ready. Superman. 7.11.25 @dcofficial.”

In the Threads post, James Gunn added: “The above photo was taken on set by Jess Miglio and was entirely in-camera.”
