<p>We’ve got confirmation that David Corenswet’s Superman will indeed wear trunks on his costume. Superman has one of the most iconic costumes in superhero comics, with the suit sticking close to its original design over various iterations. One of the most hotly debated topics concerning the Man of Steel’s costume always comes down to trunks or no trunks. Some fans like their Superman to have his red trunks, while others prefer a more “real-world” approach to having the trunks underneath the costume. As we approached the start of filming on James Gunn’s <em>Superman</em>, the anticipation for the big costume reveal only intensified. With the Superman costume officially revealed, we also can see there will be trunks as well.</p>
James Gunn’s photo reveals David Corenswet in a Superman costume featuring red trunks and possibly a black belt reminiscent of the Kingdom Come suit. The caption reads: “Get ready. Superman 7.11.25 @dcofficial.”

New Superman costume also has New 52 connection
David Cornswet’s Superman costume reintroduces the neck collar from DC’s New 52 era. During the reboot, Superman’s costume received updates, including a younger and less experienced Clark Kent. His first costume featured a casual t-shirt and jeans, while his Justice League attire notably lacked trunks and incorporated a collar.
The collar in the new Superman photo is subtle but noticeable, possibly a compromise between those who prefer the trunks and those who don’t. The trunks appear visible from the exterior while the costume still maintains a realistic appearance with a collar.
What is Superman about?
Superman’s journey, as depicted in DC Studios’ film, explores his reconciliation between his Kryptonian heritage and human upbringing as Clark Kent. Guided by human kindness in a world where it’s considered outdated, Superman embodies the ideals of truth, justice, and a brighter future.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav emphasizes the significance of DC, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, as a key growth driver for the company. Zaslav expresses optimism for DC, highlighting the completion of the first draft for the Superman script. He believes in Gunn’s dedication and foresees a positive future for DC, demonstrating its global strength and potential for sustained growth.
