In a flurry of recent updates, the DC Universe is buzzing with news about its upcoming Superman movie, directed by James Gunn. David Corenswet has been cast as the new Superman, with fan art and a concept trailer already bringing this new vision to life. Jake Gyllenhaal is imagined alongside him as Batman in fan-created content. Gunn has been active in addressing rumors, notably debunking speculation about the film's villain and clarifying details around Superman's cape, hinted at by Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan on social media. "James Gunn fuels speculation" around the cape, while also "nixing Superman villain rumors" and "stopping more Superman rumors faster than a speeding bullet." Amidst speculation, Gunn confirmed the main villain for the 2025 Superman movie. Additionally, while Henry Cavill is confirmed to be stepping away from the Superman role, Gunn is open to casting him in another character within the DC Universe. Corenswet's portrayal is said to draw inspiration from 'All Seasons' and 'All-Star Superman,' but with a narrative that is "totally its own thing," promising a fresh take on the iconic superhero. The anticipation for Corenswet's full Superman suit is high, with "a detailed adaptation in new DC Universe fan art" and Gunn "sharing a video from the set." The wait "may not be as long as previously thought," as Corenswet "performs a classic Superman movie in an epic piece of DC fan art," and the "vibes of the new 'SUPERMAN' movie are similar to 'All Seasons' & 'All-Star Superman.'"
