A new photo from the set of superman has appeared online, revealing a possible link between LuthorCorp and the US military Find out more about this intriguing teaser here!
Work on James Gunn-directed Superman reboot continuesand a new image from the film’s set has caught the interest of fans. As you can see, the “LuthorCorp” logo is stamped on military vehiclessuggesting a connection between them and Lex in this film.
LuthorCorp and the military?
Previously, we had already seen what appeared to be a improvised military baseand the comics have occasionally explored this route as well. The question now is, does Lex work alongside the military or is this version of LuthorCorp more focused on weaponry than we’re used to seeing in the pages of comics?
Either way, it seems likely that the villain will be aiming all kinds of weapons at Superman.…including a certain power suit if we’re lucky (it’s about time Lex shows up on the big screen in it)!and theories
Lex is rumored to create a clone of Clark, possibly a new version of Bizarro or Ultraman, and if this is true, Lex will probably continue to be portrayed as a “mad scientist.” “I’ve been working out,” Hoult previously said of his preparation for the role. “There is that part in All-Star Superman where he talks about his muscles being real and hard work and all that. I took that as a little fuel for the fire.”

All Superman reboots at the movies
Since his debut on the big screen, Superman has had several significant reboots in cinemaeach trying to capture the essence of the hero and introduce him to new audiences.
The first major reboot was with Superman: The Movie in 1978, directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve. This film established many of the iconic elements associated with the character. In 2006, Bryan Singer tried to revive the franchise with Superman Returns , with Brandon Routh in the lead role. Although the film paid homage to Donner’s films, it was not as successful as expected, leading to another reboot.
The next attempt came in 2013 with Man of Stehe directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill. This version presented a darker, more modern vision of Superman, setting the tone for the DC Extended Universe. Now, with the reboot directed by James Gunn, Superman is expected to return to his more classic roots, combining modernity with the essence of the character. This new approach aims to reconcile Superman’s Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas.
These multiple restarts demonstrate the Superman’s persistent relevance and appealand how each generation seeks to reinterpret its history in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences.
