DC Studios co-head James Gunn has unveiled an official photo of David Corenswet’s Superman logo on Instagram, coinciding with the one-year countdown to the film’s release. In the caption, Gunn announced, “In exactly one year Superman opens all over the world,” introducing fans to the new emblem that Corenswet will sport in his portrayal of the iconic superhero.
Gunn’s post also highlighted the involvement of Stephen Blackehart, who has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. Blackehart, who was tagged on the post alongside the recast of the cast, is familiar to Gunn’s fans, having appeared in minor roles across several of his projects including the Guardians of the Galaxy series, Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, and Brightburn.
While the logo had been glimpsed previously in both the official Superman suit reveal and various set photos, this post provides the clearest look yet at the emblem of the House of El for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s revamped DC Universe. The movie marks the beginning of Gunn and Safran’s ambitious plans for the DCU.
The anticipation for the next Superman movie continues to build as these set photos paint a fuller picture of what fans can expect. With San Diego Comic-Con approaching, it might not be long until more details are revealed about the DC Universe project.
