DC Studios co-head James Gunn took to social media yesterday to celebrate Superman’s birthday by unveiling the first official look at the iconic House of El crest for the upcoming movie Superman, previously known as Superman: Legacy. The sneak peek quickly captured the attention of fans and the internet at large, showcasing the “S” symbol David Corenswet will wear as the iconic DC Comics hero. This significant moment marks a new chapter for the Superman saga, with Gunn at the helm steering the direction of one of the most beloved superheroes in comic book history.
In the wake of this official reveal, several set photos purportedly showing Corenswet in full Superman costume began circulating online. At first glance, these images might seem genuine to some, but a closer examination raises questions about their authenticity. The quality and context of the photos make it difficult to believe they represent actual scenes from the production of Superman, which is rumored to be filming in Norway before moving to the United States.
Responding to the spread of these questionable Superman images, James Gunn addressed the speculation head-on. A fan reached out to Gunn on Threads to ask about the legitimacy of the set photos, to which Gunn confirmed that they were indeed fake.
