Superman Reimagined
In a revealing interview with Screen Rant, director James Gunn shed light on David Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman. Gunn explained that Corenswet's costume design draws inspiration from professional wrestlers, a choice aimed at making the character more approachable to children. He commented, "Superman is an alien with incredible powers—he can shoot beams from his eyes and lift trucks—so it’s vital that he presents himself as a symbol of hope and positivity. His appearance should evoke a sense of safety and admiration rather than fear."
