Superman has his trunks in James Gunn's DC movie, but the decision was only made at the very last moment after one crew member "refused to give up"

For such an iconic character, Superman's look is always in flux. There have 🐓been eternal debates raging over everything from the 'S' logo, to the boots, cape, and, yes, even whether 🌃the Kryptonian should wear red trunks over his outfit.

According to one recent interview, the decision to put trunks on David Corenswet's Man of Steel was a very last-minute decision in 2025's Superman, and even director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn was torn over the issue.

, costume designer Judianna Makovsky said the trunks debate was a "topic of discussion" every day before starting the movie, with the choice of wearing trunks only set in stone on the night before filming commenced.

Makovsky, though, was very much T🍰eam Trunks in this instance, and appeared to be a driving force behind bringing them back after Henry Cavill's Superman ditched them in favour of a cleaner, all-ꦦin-one look.

"There were a lot of people who did𝐆n’t want the briefs, and a lot of people who did. And James was very divided. And I ಞhave to say, I refused to give up," Makovsky revealed.

The costume designer added, too, that🍃 David Corenswet was also keen to have trunks as part of the Superman cosꦺtume.

The final Superman suit, then, more closely🌊 resembles the bright, vivid costumes of the Silveꦫr Age comics, complete with red boots, flowing cape, and red trunks with a yellow belt.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first Superman reactions have also leaked, with early cinemagoers describing the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One opener as "unique" and "damn beautiful."

Superman, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult, flies into cinemas on July 11, 2025. For more, check the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies headed your way and our guide on how to watch the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC movies in order.
