Overview

• The latest trailer showcases Superman’s extreme power levels, featuring heat vision, skyscraper lifting and deep-space flight.
• James Gunn and costume designer Judianna Makovsky trialed the suit with and without red trunks during pre-production to determine the most fitting look.
• David Corenswet argued that the trunks’ playful aesthetic would undercut Superman’s intimidating alien nature and enhance his approachability for children.
• Gunn consulted former DCU director Zack Snyder, who shared his unsuccessful experiments with red trunks on the Man of Steel suit, before finalizing the decision.
• The film is slated for release on July 11, 2025, as a key installment in James Gunn’s reboot of the DC Universe.
