‘Superman’ director drops first photo of David Corenswet as Clark Kent: ‘Get ready’

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … 𓂃not He🎐nry Cavill!

D෴C Studios CEO James Gunn of the latest actor to play Clark Kent, David Corenswet.

“Get Ready. Superman. 7.11.25,” the director wrote Mon🧸day in a caption on the social media platform Threads alongside the image of Corenswet, 30, decked out in the iconic Superman suit.

The Warner Bros. film had previously been titled “Superman: Legacy,” but Gunn announce♎d in February🔯 that he had chopped off the second half of the name. 

“When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film ‘Superman: Legacy,’” he wrote. “By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the t🐼itle was ‘Superman.’”

Corenswet takes over from Cavill — who turned 41 on Sunday — after he played the hero in six films, beginning with 2013’s “Man of Steel” and ending with an uncredite🅺d cameo in last year’s “The Flash.”

Superman is by far the biggest ro🐓le to date for Corenswet, who has previously appeared on two Ryan Murphy Netflix series, “The Politician” and “Hollywood.”

He’ll star opposite “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and “The Great” actor Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. 

“🥃Superman,” which will hit theaters July 11, 2025, is the first film in the planned revamp of the DC Universe. It’s part of an init𒉰ial grouping of movies dubbed Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
