Filmmaker James Gunn, the acclaimed director of Superman: Legacy, recently shared enticing behind-the-scenes peeks with his fans. But it wasn’t just any snapshot – Gunn’s Instagram post sent the internet into a flurry of theories, debates, and speculations. The picture itself is endearing enough to make any heart melt: the star of the photo is none other than a delightful pooch named Nora. Dressed in a cape reminiscent of Krypto the Superdog, Nora poses confidently, basking in her momentary superhero status. Krypto, as DC Universe enthusiasts would know, has been teased by Gunn in the past as a character to make an appearance in the forthcoming film.
But it wasn’t just Nora’s adorable pose that caught the eagle eyes of the fans. Lurking in the background are several items that have made ardent followers of the DCU dig deeper. Among these, there is a vintage Superman vinyl in a Fleischer-era costume. The background also boasts posters, one of which, unsurprisingly, feature Krypto.
However, the true star of the speculations is an obscured piece, barely noticeable: a Super-suit with a distinctive yellow “S” emblem, hidden away in a box under a table. While the ensemble could very well have been one from a previous iteration or merely a prototype under consideration, many are wondering if this is the first sneak peek at what David Corenswet’s Superman might wear in Superman: Legacy.
Knowing Gunn’s meticulous nature and attention to detail, it’s hard to believe anything in the photos is there by mere accident. Yet, the entertainment industry thrives on its secrets, and only time will reveal the real story behind the suit.

But the world of Superman: Legacy isn’t just about suits and canines. The movie is gearing up with a stellar cast. Alongside Corenswet, audiences will see Rachel Brosnahan stepping into the intrepid shoes of Lois Lane. Brosnahan isn’t just making waves on set; she recently lent her presence and voice at the national day of solidarity rally, showcasing her support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
The roster for the film doesn’t stop there. Isabela Merced will soar as Hawkgirl, with Edi Gathegi bringing Mister Terrific to life. Nathan Fillion is set to light up the screen as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, while Anthony Carrigan will shape-shift into the role of Metamorpho.
The casting for Superman: Legacy isn’t complete yet. Auditions are currently in progress for iconic roles like Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White. Fans are eagerly awaiting announcements to see who will fill these seminal characters’ shoes. If everything aligns, the production for this much-anticipated reboot is set to roll from next January. Until then, fans can only speculate, hope, and eagerly await more such teasing glimpses from Gunn and his team.
Superman: Legacy is scheduled to be released on 11 July, 2025.
