“Come on…”: Be careful, this photo of Superman shared on the networks is fake!

As James Gunn announced on his Instagram account, the filming of Superman Legacy has been named SupermanVery simply – it started this Thursday, February 29th, a rare and symbolic date (Superman’s birthday, please) for the project’s (and DC’s) lead director.

Since then, a “stolen” photo has made the rounds online: a purported photo of Superman’s new interpreter in his full costume on the set in question. And the least we can say is that the photo caused a lot of ink flow due to its somewhat “cardboard” appearance, edited down – not to mention “cheap”.

However, fear not, it appears to be a fake. Indeed, on the Threads platform, James Gunn Responding to a fan who asked if the shot was real, the director replied:Let’s go…” – a rather amusing “let’s be serious” sort of response to the appearance of the costume.

More and more fans asked him the same question, James Gunn He then ended his reply by analyzing the picture with great sarcasm!

“Let’s see. Could the man on the left be photographed holding an amorphous black blob and staring at an eyeball from the front of his hat? Can a man on the right body separate from the right hip and can he be stupid enough to wear pants that go down the back? Are David Korenswet’s hands made of wax, without bones or veins? And can Superman’s underwear be knitted with yarn? Ask yourself these questions and I am sure you will be able to answer them yourself.“

In his Instagram post that we reported on yesterday announcing the start of filming and the new title, the director also posted an official photo, this time very stretched and somewhat snowy. The suit worn by David Korenswet in the film and the logo on the chest.

But that’s not the only rumor DC’s new boss has to dispel this week either. Also on Threads, the filmmaker responded to a fan who showed him a report on Superman’s budget. The amount was said to be $364 million, which is why fans were clamoring for it James Gunn Was it true or false?

His answer is categorical: “Absolutely not” and accompanied by a laughing emoji. “How the hell do they think they know our budget?“, he added.

What will Superman talk about?

The long-awaited feature film at a turning point “Tells the story of Superman’s journey in reconciling his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.“- says the official synopsis of the film. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and American principles guided by human kindness in a world that considers kindness old-fashioned.“

With the presence of snow on the official costume published by James Gunn, we can assume that Superman will be spending some time in his famous Fortress of Solitude, which is generally located in the polar region. Not an origin story, the film will feature a superhero already established in Metropolis.
