DC Studios is getting ready to bring Superman back to the forefront of superhero movies, and this time, it will be with a new actor as the character instead of Henry Cavill, and it will be from the mind of James Gunn. Gunn will be directing Superman: Legacy, which will be the first film out of his and Peter Safran’s DC Studios slate that featured projects like Lanterns, Swamp Thing, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and he has already found his Man of Steel. Gunn previously revealed he cast David Corenswet as Superman in Superman: Legacy, and fans are excited to see the actor as the iconic superhero. One artist even went as far as creating a new concept of Corenswet in the classic blue costume.

David Corenswet Superman Fan Art
An artist on Instagram who goes by the handle of @Subi.Ozil created a new work of fan art that shows how Corenswet could look like the Man of Steel. In the Superman: Legacy fan art, Corenswet gets the character’s classic look but ditches the red trunks. With the ongoing WGA and SAG-Aftra strikes, it is unlikely that we will see any looks at Corenswet as the iconic superhero for quite some time. You can check out the fan art below.
