David Corenswet Superman costume is believed to be in use for filming after fans noticed its absence from the Warner Bros. Studio lot exhibit. Typically showcased beside Lex Luthor’s business suit, the iconic Man of Steel outfit was missing, replaced by a sign indicating it is “currently being used in production.” This discovery fueled speculation among DC enthusiasts about ongoing or upcoming filming projects.
Fan Observations and Social Media Reaction
A visitor to the Warner Bros. lot captured the empty display space and shared the image on Twitter, sparking conversations across DC fan circles. While the fan cautioned that the suit had been absent for some time and urged followers to treat the news cautiously, the sign strongly suggests active use during production. Many have connected this to the highly anticipated Superman sequel scheduled for release on July 9, 2027.

This tweet confirmed the costume’s removal and heightened anticipation about the Man of Tomorrow project.
Implications for the Upcoming Superman Sequel
Despite the ongoing buzz, official filming for the sequel titled Man of Tomorrow has not yet commenced. Pre-production reportedly began in September 2025, and cameras are expected to roll sometime in 2026. The removal of David Corenswet’s Superman costume could indicate preparations such as repairs or modifications for the forthcoming film, or the creation of an additional suit.
Fans have noted the practicality of reusing the existing costume given the relatively short timeframe before filming starts.
Makes sense to reuse the costume rather than make a new one if filming is happening so soon,
replied one fan.
James Gunn’s Announcement and Hints About the Sequel
DC Films chief James Gunn officially unveiled Man of Tomorrow on September 3, 2025, through his social media, shortly after the release of the latest Superman movie. Although plot details remain under wraps, new artwork shared by Gunn, Corenswet, and Nicholas Hoult—the actor playing Lex Luthor—offered fans a glimpse of the story’s direction.
The illustrations depict Superman and Lex Luthor together, with Lex wearing his green and purple armored suit. Interestingly, Superman appears to be repairing Lex’s armor, suggesting a potential alliance against a greater threat. This possible team-up between hero and villain marks a significant narrative development for the DC Universe’s next chapter.
Looking Ahead to the DC Universe’s Next Phase
The involvement of key figures such as James Gunn, Corenswet as Superman, and Hoult as Lex Luthor points toward an exciting continuation of the DCU’s story. The reuse and early handling of the Superman costume underline the franchise’s momentum as it moves into this next installment. Fans eager to learn more about upcoming projects can follow official channels and updates to see how this sequel and related productions unfold.
