'Superman: Legacy' could bring back the Man of Steel's iconic trunks, James Gunn says.
James Gunn has revealed he’s considering bringing Superman’s trunk back for Superman: Legacy. Written and directed by Gunn himself, Superman: Legacy will kick off the new DCU in theaters. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for 1938’s Action Comics #1, Superman was introduced to the world with his iconic blue costume, complete with cape and red trunks over his pants.
However, the iconic red trunks have been absent from theaters since Henry Cavill took over the role in 2013’s Man of Steel. Cavill’s new look even inspired Tyler Hoechlin’s take on the character in Supergirl, where he first played the Man of Steel before getting his own TV show, Superman & Lois. Still, with the DCU being reset, Gunn has plenty of wiggling space to play around with multiple costume ideas.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT On June 12, Gunn responded on Twitter to some of DC’s fans' questions about the Man of Steel and Superman: Legacy. When asked if the trunks would return, Gunn said he was “undecided.” As the filmmaker underlines, “We are doing incredible amounts of concept art now with both and we’ll use whatever version looks best.
Superman: Legacy is expected to include other classic comic book characters. For instance, Gunn has already announced the upcoming movie features Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen. Furthermore, since there’s an Supergirl movie based on Tom King’s Woman of Tomorrow comics in development, the Kryptonian corner of the DCU should be at the center of Gunn and Safran’s intertwined story.
