David Corenswet\u2019s Superman suit picked up some key changes for Superman 2, officially titled Man of Tomorrow, and new photos make the differences easy to spot. Corenswet debuted the costume in 2025\u2019s Superman, the film that launched James Gunn and Peter Safran\u2019s rebooted DC Universe, and he wore the same outfit again during his appearance in this summer\u2019s Supergirl<\/a>. The design got its “S” crest from the Kingdom Come comic and restored the classic red trunks, a detail that divided fans long before the movie even hit theaters.<\/p>\n

Set photos from the Atlanta production of Man of Tomorrow<\/a>, the first movie sequel in the DCU, reveal five clear changes to the suit Corenswet will wear when the film opens in theaters on July 9, 2027. Gunn, who wrote and directed both movies, confirmed on Threads<\/a> that his star is wearing a brand-new costume, one with slight adjustments from the 2025 version. Each tweak is small on its own, but together they give the Man of Steel a sharper, more streamlined silhouette.<\/p>\n

Filming began in Georgia in the spring, and Gunn shared his first photo from the set in April<\/a>. Recent night shoots turned downtown Atlanta into Metropolis for a street brawl between Superman and Nicholas Hoult\u2019s Lex Luthor, who wears a practical version of his comic-accurate Warsuit. Several images show heavy scorch marks across the suit\u2019s midsection, suggesting Lex\u2019s new hardware does real damage before the longtime enemies join forces against Lars Eidinger\u2019s Brainiac.<\/p>\n

Key Changes Made to Superman\u2019s Suit in Man of Tomorrow\u00a0A Tighter, More Form-Fitting Design \"David
\nDC Studios<\/p>\n

The 2025 costume left room between the hero’s skin and the material. Wrinkles gathered around the arms and torso in plenty of shots, and the fabric had a soft, relaxed drape that made Superman look approachable instead of armored. That was deliberate, as Gunn described the outfit in interviews as something closer to a wrestler\u2019s gear, designed to put ordinary people at ease.<\/p>\n

The Man of Tomorrow suit<\/a> hugs Corenswet\u2019s frame far more closely. The material fits smoothly across the chest and shoulders, with barely a crease visible in the newest photos, and the sleeves appear slightly trimmed down as well. Some of that may come down to the actor\u2019s conditioning, though the cut itself is clearly tighter than the baggier original.<\/p>\n

An Adjusted Collar Design \"The
\nDC Studios<\/p>\n

One major part of the first suit that attracted a lot of scrutiny was the neckline. Gunn cycled through a couple of different collar shapes during production on Superman, and chose a version with a soft rounded edge that curved gently around Corenswet\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n

The sequel\u2019s collar is noticeably different. It rises higher on the neck and features a deeper, more defined notch at the front, exposing more of the throat and pushing the design closer to the New 52 comic suit that already inspired much of the costume\u2019s line work.<\/p>\n

A Bigger ‘S’ Emblem \"Superman's
\nDC Studios<\/p>\n

The House of El crest keeps the Kingdom Come-inspired shape<\/a> introduced in 2025, so this change is a resize rather than a redesign. In the new photos, the emblem stretches visibly wider across Corenswet\u2019s chest and rests a touch higher than it did on the original suit.<\/p>\n

The difference is subtle up close but a bit more noticeable at a distance. Although the change is small, it\u2019s still evident in the dim, chaotic set photos, so it should be even easier to spot by the time official photos get released and when the film hits theaters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Deeper Shade of Blue \"Superman
\nDC Studios<\/p>\n

Color was one of the best aspects<\/a> of the first movie\u2019s suit. On screen, the 2025 costume looked bright and cold, with a cyan-tinted blue that popped under the film\u2019s heavy color grade.<\/p>\n

The new suit looks like a richer, truer blue, much closer to classic comic book royal blue than the icy tone of the original. However, this could easily look different when the film releases, since the final color will still pass through a grade before it arrives in theaters. The change does appear consistent across multiple batches of set photos, though. It also stops well short of the near-navy palette worn by Henry Cavill\u2019s Superman in the DC Extended Universe.<\/p>\n

Diagonal Belt Loops \"The
\nDC Studios<\/p>\n

The smallest change is only noticeable upon zooming in. Close-up shots of Superman’s gold belt show that the loops on the red trunks now cut diagonally, angling outward toward the hips instead of running straight up and down as they did on the 2025 suit.<\/p>\n

It’s a subtle but interesting tailoring choice, one that follows the V shape of the trunks and gives the waistline a nice finish. The trunks themselves survive untouched, which should surprise nobody. Gunn credited Corenswet with helping pick that part of the design on the first film, explaining that “Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him,” and the sequel doesn\u2019t intend to walk that philosophy back. Some fans might not like the trunks, but it looks like it\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Corenswet\u2019s Superman suit picked up some key changes for Superman 2, officially titled Man of Tomorrow, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[944,11845,27203,96,205636,2839,113600,951,96773,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-725959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-action","tag-adventure","tag-david-corenswet","tag-entertainment","tag-man-of-tomorrow-2027","tag-movies","tag-superhero","tag-superman","tag-superman-2025","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
