On June 25th, images from the set of James Gunn Superman movie filming in Cleveland, where creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were from so they’re at least aware of the symbolism, hit the internet. Hopefully the writing will be less symbolic and more actual story but we can only judge what we know so far when it comes to the depiction of Superman. I will say that there are less red flags than the previous Superman works the past few years, but adaptation is still up in the air.
Still, there are things I wanted to bring up about the set images (“of course, or why else would you be writing this article, you idiot!”). We have a look at the actors in character, including David Corenswet as both Clark Kent and Superman. Being my number one favorite superhero and me being a defender of the Clark Kent identity, I have thoughts, though right now I’m really just padding this out for the homepage. The big question I’m going to have for this movie is do they understand Superman and his world, or is this all based on a surface level understanding of Superman by people who see the “super” but not the “man”, and so do whatever they want with the Daily Planet staff, the Kent clan, and the last days of Krypton and the House Of El? Well, I can’t pad this out any more than this, so let’s look at the pictures, courtesy of X-Twitter user(s) DCU Updates.
