James Gunn is gearing up for the start of principal photography of Superman: Legacy. The film which will be led by David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan will start shooting in March this year and will be released in July next year.
In the past few months, some reports regarding a leaked photo of Corenswet in the Superman suit started circulating online. However, Gunn himself has rubbished these reports and revealed that no official pictures of the film have been out yet.
James Gunn Speaks Out About Alleged Superman Leaks
Over the past few months, James Gunn has updated fans on every pre-production development regarding his upcoming film Superman: Legacy. The director also shared with fans about how his Superman and his suit will be a mix of the old and the new. David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and the other cast will start shooting the film in March this year
On Threads, a fan asked Gunn about whether a leaked photo of Corenswet (which was circulated on X) if the suit was legit, Gunn dismissed the leaks and claimed that the photos of him in the suit were only in his phone. He said,
“Glad you think he looks great, but there’s no leak. The only photos taken of David in the Superman suit are on my phone and I’m standing with him.”
Fans should refrain from unconfirmed sources and wait for Gunn or WB to release official stills and information from the movie. The movie has not started shooting yet so one should not expect any kind of first look from the film anytime soon.

Supergirl Will Reportedly Make Her Debut In Superman: Legacy
James Gunn and his team are currently screen-testing actresses for the role of Supergirl in his DCU. As put by The Hollywood Reporter, the current status is that Milly Alcock and Meg Donnelly are the final two contenders for the role. The outlet also stated that her on-screen debut will happen sooner than one might expect.
According to THR, Supergirl will make her debut in David Corenswet’s Superman: Legacy which is the first film in Gunn’s DCU. The screen tests are happening in Atlanta where Corenswet’s film will start shooting in March. It is not known how Supergirl will factor into the story of the film as of yet.
The most likely scenario is of Supergirl having a cameo appearance in a post-credits scene. The film is already crowded with so many characters already and it seems unlikely that she will have a proper role in the film. But anything is possible with Gunn and for now, it remains to be seen how Gunn weaves his magic into all these iconic characters and brings it to life.
