James Gunn’s Superman movie is currently shooting in Cleveland and photos from the set have started to pop up. To note, these are unofficial images, and while some may start to pick apart the way the super suit looks in action until we see how it really looks with CGI included, we really haven’t gotten a true glimpse of the character other than the official still from a few weeks back. You can also see what looks like Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific in the images.
As you can see, those Superman set photos didn’t actually show Corenswet on set, but it does reveal new looks at his character thanks to the front pages of the Daily Planet and the Metropolis Eagle newspapers. You’ll have to open these photos and zoom in a bit, but they show Superman stopping a speeding train and posing heroically after saving people from a collapsing building. I feel like either of these photos could have made a better official first look than the one we got.
Superman stars David Corenswet (Pearl) as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel) as Lois Lane. The cast also includes Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Guy Gardner, a charismatic and slightly obnoxious member of the Green Lantern Corps; Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific; Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho; María Gabriela de Faría (Deadly Class) as The Engineer, a member of The Authority; Sara Sampaio (At Midnight) as Eve Teschmacher; Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones) as Jimmy Olsen; Wendell Pierce (The Wire) as Perry White; Neva Howell (Logan Lucky) as Martha Kent; Pruitt Taylor-Vince (The Walking Dead) as Jonathan Kent; and Nicholas Hoult (The Great) as Lex Luthor.
The members of the Daily Planet newsroom have also expanded for the movie, with Beck Bennet (Saturday Night Live) set to play Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover (The Suicide Squad) as Cat Grant, and newcomer Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe.
DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran has previously teased that Superman will not be an origin story and will focus on “Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned.” Superman is slated to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
