One of Gunn’s first moves was to replace Henry Cavill, bringing in David Corenswet as the new Superman. The first official image emerged on social media—a candid shot of CorenswetSweat in costume, seemingly in the midst of a busy day, adjusting his boots in front of a city skyline with Metropolis in the background. Gunn emphasized that this was an authentic behind-the-scenes shot, not AI-generated, aiming to set expectation for a more grounded and realistic portrayal.
