Director James Gunn revealed that the movie’s cast would be at next year’s CinemaCon to “kick off the summer of Superman,” according to a live video from the set in Atlanta, Georgia, where filming is underway. David Corenswet (Superman) and co-star Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) also appeared.
Gunn’s anticipation for the Summer of Superman was palpable as he shared, “I can’t wait to be in Vegas with all of you next year as we kick off the thrilling Summer of Superman.”
During the video montage, Cornswet declared, ”Can we disclose something?” Inciting massive discussion among all social media before closing with, “We can’t tell you anything about what we’re going to do today. [There’s] at least one man in a cape.”
As a special treat, near the end of Gunn’s presentation, the full Superman logo from the Man of Steel’s new costume for “Superman” was exclusively revealed on the screen.
Earlier this year, on Feb. 29, Gunn revealed the first official image of the new logo from the Superman set in Norway. This was from a prior report, which touched upon how the design is quite similar to past and present variations, with the main source of inspiration being pulled from artist Alex Ross.
