Set photos from James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” movie have surfaced, revealing a detailed look at David Corenswet in the iconic costume. The film, which is slated for release in 2025, is currently being shot in Cleveland, Ohio, and these behind-the-scenes images offer fans a sneak peek into the action.
The new photos highlight Corenswet’s Superman suit, a noticeable departure from Henry Cavill’s grittier version. The updated costume features a bright yellow crest on the cape, giving it a more classic look. The scenes captured appear to involve an intense action sequence, complete with emergency services and rubble.
Rachel Brosnahan, portraying Lois Lane, is seen stepping out of a spaceship, while Edi Gathegi’s Mister Terrific makes a striking appearance alongside Superman. These images, credited to Joshua Gunter, showcase the characters in full costume, adding to the excitement.
Who is Mister Terrific?
Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, is a relatively lesser-known character in the DC universe. Originating in Sensation Comics #1 in 1942, the mantle was initially held by Terry Sloane. The current Mister Terrific, Michael Holt, was introduced in 1997.
Michael Holt is depicted as a brilliant perfectionist with multiple PhDs, black belts in various martial arts, and an Olympic gold medal. His drive to help others stems from a personal tragedy—the death of his wife in a car accident. Holt uses advanced technology, including T-Spheres, which are multi-functional devices that aid him in combat, communication, and cloaking.
James Gunn has shown interest in Mister Terrific for some time, hinting at his involvement by sharing Alex Ross’ JSA #76 cover on social media back in November 2022.

Potential Supergirl Cameo

The leaked set photos have heightened anticipation for James Gunn’s “Superman” movie, promising a fresh take on the beloved superhero. With a stellar cast and intriguing character introductions, fans have plenty to look forward to in this 2025 release.
