David Corenswet as Superman in first look at James Gunn's new movie.

James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie will feature one very iconic piece of costume, the hero’s traditional red trunks. But the DC boss said he was originally against the idea of bringing back the underwear-like accessory, that is until star David Corenswet convinced him otherwise.
