Fans React to David Corenswet's Superman

DC has unveiled a first glimpse of David Corenswet in the new Superman movie, prompting many fans to share their opinions.

DC Studios co-CEO and director of the Superman movie, James Gunn, has provided an early glimpse of the Man of Steel's outfit. The image shows a hero prepared for battle, with a massive purple sky laser in the background indicating that there are challenges ahead.

The image provides answers to some questions while raising new ones. Fans are pleased to get a preview of Superman before the movie's release next year, especially seeing Clark Kent in the familiar red and blue outfit.

“WE DID IT BOYS… THE RED TRUNKS IS BAAAAAACK,” wrote a fan on Reddit.

To the average moviegoer, Corenswet's Superman suit may not seem much different from the one Henry Cavill wore for the past decade. However, fans were quick to notice a key difference: the red trunks. 

Cavill's Superman outfit opted for a more grounded look, without the red trunks traditionally associated with the hero. Gunn's new interpretation of the character reintroduces this popular element to the big screen.

“He’s got the trunks, he’s got the hair curl, he’s got the looks,” another fan on X added. “David Corenswet IS SUPERMAN.”

However, another part of the suit left some fans with mixed feelings.

“That mix of the classic touches with the more recent grittier appearance is clashing for me.” a user commented on Reddit. “Love the hair and trunks, but the texture and collar are giving me traumatic flashbacks.” 

Many fans are holding off on forming an opinion until they see Corenswet's Superman suit in action. However, initial fan reactions to the outfit are positive.
