the director shares the first image of the hero on networks

Both Corenswet and Gunn had shown small teasers of what Superman’s suit would be like in ‘Superman: Legacy’, the reboot of the DC Universe that the director is preparing in the company of producer Peter Safran. But until now we haven’t had a chance to see the full suit, which Gunn (and Corenswet) show putting the hero in a relatively everyday situation: putting on his boots before facing a threat in Metropolis

The suit is clearly a continuation of the uniforms we have seen in recent years, especially in Henry Cavill’s version. One thing is different, which is making fans of the original Man of Steel comics celebrate Gunn’s vision: in this version, Superman wears the iconic red trunks outside of him.

The most curious thing about the image, without a doubt, is that we do not see Superman turning an alien creature upside down or flying through the skies of Metropolis or in outer space, but in an almost comical situation, which lowers him to the level of humans. . It is an approach clearly related to James Gunn’s superhero filmswhich usually, through humor, strips the characters of mythical components.

‘Superman: Legacy’ is the first film to return to the forefront of DC superhero cinema, even anticipating the sequel to ‘The Batman’. We will see it on July 11 and it is one of the few films that is dated from the so-called Chapter 1 of this new DC Universe. At a time when there is more talk about “superhero fatigue” than about the upcoming films of the genre, Gunn’s image comes to show that we can still experience a certain expectation of what is to come.
