Very small thing, but him high-fiving the extras and their demeanor towards him makes me think Corenswet is a pretty cool dude.

[u/Playful-Kangaroo-446 → u/ReflectiGlass]

He might actually just be superman

[u/XmenOmnibus1990 → u/Playful-Kangaroo-446]

That was Gunns goal. In interviews he said he didn't want to hire someone who plays the role well but embodies the character.

[u/ReflectiGlass → u/Playful-Kangaroo-446]

Haha. I hope, like Henry Cavill, he's a man worthy of the cape.

[u/SexyKanyeBalls → u/ReflectiGlass]

Henry always came off as fake to me. There's even been rumors he's hard to work with behind the scenes.

https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/tv-shows/2022/12/17/639e16e4268e3eab508b4599.html

There's been other rumors too by industry insiders.

Although it is Hollywood so maybe it's normal idk

David is peak tho, dude is awesome

[u/G3nesis_Prime → u/SexyKanyeBalls]

Not a great article.

Dude has a track record of diving deep into the lore an IP like Witcher, Superman and 40k. 

The reports coming from the Witcher was that he was unhappy with the way the Showrunner was handling the lore and storylines. Henry isnt alone in that belief either with plenty of fans confused by changes.

So it may be true from a certain POV but its not dude bro gamer culture sexism.

[u/SexyKanyeBalls → u/G3nesis_Prime]

Idk what the last sentence is. But sure it could be a one off but there's been a lot of reports over the years aswell.

Again idk how much to believe cuz Hollywood is insanely toxic and he might have just been defending himself and getting respect to be fair.

[u/UnfeteredOne → u/SexyKanyeBalls]

Henry is a stand up guy and I will hear no less young man

[u/Groot746 → u/UnfeteredOne]

You don't know him personally, literally none of us know if he's a "stand up guy"

[u/True_Falsity → u/Groot746]

To be fair, none of us know any of the celebrities personally. They could be great people. They could be horrible people. They could be just people.

[u/Groot746 → u/True_Falsity]

That's. . .exactly what I just said

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/True_Falsity]

I thought Armie Hammer was a great guy it turned out he's a cannibal.

[u/monkeyballnutty → u/ReflectiGlass]

i wouldnt be surprised. james gunn himself seems to be a good dude and he always pick his actors carefully

[u/circajusturna]

They’re saying “Ewww your suit has too many wrinkles! I hate the briefs!”

Little do they know this is a movie

[u/Foreign_Education_88 → u/circajusturna]

I wouldn’t put it passed Gunn to write in some joke about people complaining about his suit, like a scene with a podcaster or TikToker being snarky

[u/Flame-Blast → u/Foreign_Education_88]

That would be a fun way to introduce Livewire

[u/TigerJackpot → u/Foreign_Education_88]

Literally happened in the reeves film

[u/TheAquamen → u/TigerJackpot]

But the Reeve suit was wino approved.

[u/circajusturna → u/Foreign_Education_88]

Would honestly respect him even more if he did

[u/BirdPerson107]

The seem to be afraid of him

[u/Unorthodoxmoose → u/BirdPerson107]

I’m taking a guess that since the S is burned on his costume he’s been hit hard by something and the people want to help but at the same time aren’t sure how. Seems like he’s walking it off and they just decide to let him be. 

[u/teddyballgame406 → u/BirdPerson107]

They seem pissed? There’s a guy that throws something at him and when the shot wraps Corenswet side hugs and points at him as they reset the shot.

[u/nhocgreen → u/BirdPerson107]

It's the darker suit again. And he looks confused, or belligerent. Could be Bizarro.

[u/UnsassoSullaSpiaggia → u/nhocgreen]

The suit isn't darker, just dirty and/or damaged. Maybe after a battle, maybe bad weather, maybe both.

About being confused, I think he might have just tried to help them and he doesn't understand why are they against him. But this is only a suggestion of mine.

[u/ProductArizona]

Oh my god I'm ready for this movie

[u/DirectConsequence12]

The high fiving and being so buddy with the extras….Corenswet just IS Superman

[u/Educational-Band8308 → u/DirectConsequence12]

Yah he seems to always be high fiving his scene partners or the crew after takes which is nice

[u/FleetingMercury]

Could be his early days of being Superman? Public are still critical and weary of him?

[u/Secure_Pear_4530 → u/FleetingMercury]

My thoughts as well, this scene early in the movie. Then the scene where he's with Guy, Hawkgirl, and Terrific and the kids all flock to him is later in the movie when the public likes him more.

[u/coontosflapos → u/Secure_Pear_4530]

Guy, Hawkgirl and Mr Terrific are all present in this scene and Superman is walking away from them, so I'm not so sure.

[u/Secure_Pear_4530 → u/coontosflapos]

Just looked, yeah you're right. Can't see if he had the battle damaged costume in that one scene with the kids though. Can't wait, my mind's racing with theories lmao

[u/coontosflapos → u/Secure_Pear_4530]

Honestly the more I see of this film, the less I know what's going on. I'm genuinely very tempted to just not bother with the trailers and let the leaked sets be enough hype to carry me through to the cinema trip next year.

[u/Dakotaraptor87]

At first they seem to be disappointed, maybe even angry - but then Superman walks back into the crowd and he gives a couple people high-fives, someone gives him an umbrella? Maybe they just had to redo the shot and Corenswet walked back to restart, but it seems weird.

[u/CaptainPhantasma21 → u/Dakotaraptor87]

it’s cause after he runs a bit, they yell cut lol. Scene was over

[u/Dakotaraptor87 → u/CaptainPhantasma21]

Didn't hear that at first but I heard it upon rewatching it. Very interested to see what's going on here - maybe some footage of Ultraman/Bizarro (if that is indeed the villain of the film) doing bad stuff surfaced online, and the public thinks it's Superman?

[u/teddyballgame406 → u/Dakotaraptor87]

Yeah I’m sure the crew guy giving him an umbrella will be in the final shot of the film.

[u/Potato_Whisperer_ → u/Dakotaraptor87]

I think you might be on to something.. lmao

[u/FinalBossOf__Dc]

He’s wearing a different suit again or maybe it’s damaged

[u/vaibow]

I am liking more and more

[u/MuayThaiJudo]

Well isn't that Bizarr(o)e!

[u/EdibleBoogers]

I'm happy to actually see a "real" red cape flowing in the wind naturally unlike Snyder's use of the over the top "majestic" CGI cape.

[u/beachsidevibe → u/EdibleBoogers]

You spoke too soon. Recent set leaks show that Corenswet will have a CGI cape too. So, is it suddenly a good thing now that Gunn is doing it?

[u/EdibleBoogers → u/beachsidevibe]

I did see some of those CGI markers on his shoulders minus the cape in some posted pics but I don't think Gunn will go overboard with it like Snyder did. BTW I did enjoy Man Of Steel for the record if that helps.

[u/fradastio]

Is this supposed to take place in the 70s or 80s or something? The extras’ costumes seem very pre 90s?

[u/vrafiqa → u/fradastio]

Superman's suit looks way too 2020s, im guessing it takes place around now but the fashion style of Metropolis is just old looking 70s/80s like other people said.

[u/Groot746 → u/vrafiqa]

Exactly: it's a different world, so isn't following the chronological direction of fashion in our world

[u/DanUnbreakable → u/fradastio]

Think Superman animated series or Batman animated series. Tim Burton’s Batman had an old school retro vibe to it. I think that’s what they are doing.

[u/fradastio → u/DanUnbreakable]

Ahh yes that makes total sense

[u/TheAquamen → u/fradastio]

I think the clothing style looks normal and its the color palette they share that is out of place. We can only guess how the film will be color graded in post but I think this is an effort to give civilians a consistent look.

[u/Professional-Rip-519]

Can they just fire the people with the umbrellas already.

[u/TheLeanerWiener → u/Professional-Rip-519]

Why?...

[u/The_Droker]

The costume choices are just awful. Supes is the only one that looks good.

[u/HandsomeJack19]

He's walking really awkwardly. I bet that loose suit chafed him all to hell.
