Superman’s Arrest
The photos show Corenswet in the iconic Superman costume, with his hands bound behind his back as he is escorted by the military to Metropolis City Hall. The images have led to much speculation about the storyline.
The Mysterious ‘U’ Man
Another intriguing figure spotted in the photos is a mysterious man dressed in all black, with a ‘U’ on his costume and a black mask covering his face. Fans are speculating that this character could be Ultraman, Superman's evil counterpart from Earth-3. Others think he might be Ulysses, also known as Neil Quinn, who might be collaborating with the military against Superman. However, no official details about the plot or villains of "Superman: Legacy" have been confirmed yet.
Comparisons and Speculations
>A user on X pointed out that the scene resembles a moment from Zack Snyder's 2016 film "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice," where Henry Cavill’s Superman is also seen being escorted by the military in handcuffs.
Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane, was also spotted on set, but she kept her costume hidden under an all-black outfit to avoid spoilers.
Star-Studded Cast
In addition to David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, the cast includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis. Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald will play Daily Planet reporters Cat Grant and Ron Troupe, respectively. Mikaela is a familiar face in James Gunn's projects, having appeared in "The Suicide Squad," "Guardians of the Galaxy," and "The Belko Experiment," while Christopher is a newcomer.
The film also features Maria Gabriela de Faria, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, and Nathan Fillion among others. Produced by Warner Bros, this movie is a part of the DC Extended Universe and is set to release on July 11, 2025.
