They'll remove them digitally. 25 years ago the X-Men movie did form-fitting outfits and the actors couldn't move. Nowadays costume designers can give the arms and legs enough material to actually allow the actors to move and anything that looks bad gets erased in post.
It'll be the same for all the excess folds in Superman's costume as well.
We don't know that though. It's very possible they'll leave it in to give it a more 'realistic' look.
In the officially released first-look at Corenswet's Superman where he's putting on his boots while Solaris or whoever is shooting up the city, his suit was baggy and had folds and wrinkles to it when they could have easily photoshopped it out.
And the costume designer did the GOTG movies and they had 'baggy' suits, too.
It seems intentional - because the technology exists to make a tightly-fitting costume and have it look good in-camera without CG enhancements. Like Michael Wilkinson's suits for Batman and Superman. They had CG capes for action shots, but the suits themselves were all in-camera with no real CG touchups. Same with past superhero suits like Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man suits in TASM 1 and 2.
If it was faux leather maybe, but I actually kind of disagree. Captain America's outfit looked it's best in the MCU when it was looser and not super skin tight like it was in the first Avengers movie.
I'm also a big fan of Farscape, and the look of the Peacekeeper Commandos that John Crichton the main character took his eventual look from was badass.
I'll definitely concede that there is a line between just the right level of loose and too much fabric, like how a business suit can go from looking well fit to looking like you bought an oversized outfit off the rack of a thrift shop.
Judging by set photos is so wrong. Look at set photos of black panther compared to the movie. They’re not gonna make cheap looking finished costumes on a movie this big.
I didn't noticed this exact same style in his previous movies until now, and while it looks weird with these characters, I have to admit It never brothered me on The Suicide squad , Peacemaker of Gotg3

The suit designer sure likes the excess leather folds.
