Underpants yes or underpants no? Classic doubt gnaws at any Superman fan about whether The Man of Steel must show the garment in his suit or not. There are all kinds of opinions, but from what we have seen in the few images of David Corenswet in the new James Gunn adaptation, finally there will be underpants.
Although it may seem like a minor issue, it is not, and in Zack Snyder’s version with Man of Steel there were no underpants. On that occasion he opted for a one-piece outfit, but now Gunn has explained how it was Corenswet who convinced him that Superman I had to show them.
“I was on the no-underpants team for a long time. For a long time. And Zack [Snyder] He said that when he was doing it, he tried a million different versions of underwear, like we did. And I kept coming back to no underwear. And I said, well, let’s move on. Let’s keep trying with underwear and see what happens. And David [Corenswet] He told me something that really affected me. We were trying on all these different versions, and we did screen tests with underpants and without underpants. And one of the things David said is that Superman wants kids not to be afraid of him.”
The actor started from the basis that Superman He is a Kryptonian and His powers give him an aura that can be terrifying. for certain people. The superhero’s goal is none other than to take care of all humanity, while proving that he is trustworthy.
“He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler, he dresses in a way that makes people not afraid of him, that shows that. That really clicked with me. And I think trying to pretend that Superman’s suit doesn’t have a certain frivolity at its core, trying to make it look serious is silly, because he’s a superhero, brightly colored and that’s who he is. And that’s where we end up and finally we all come to a point. which almost all of us agreed on the underpants.”
Those underwear, along with the cape and the rest of the suit Superman We will be able to see it very soon with the first trailer for the film and, of course, in movie theaters on July 11, 2025.
