FIlmmaker james iv Gunn’s upcoming DC motion-picture show adult male of Tomorrow is cinematography at outstanding speed and a few behind-the-scenes images and videos have appeared online, offering fans an early look at David Corenswet as Superman. The leaked photos show him battered and bruised, suggesting he’s just been through a violent clash with Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. The shots hint at a darker, more physical showdown between the hero and his longtime nemesis.The leaked photos detailsOn a night shoot in Atlanta earlier this week, leaked photos reveal Superman’s suit seriously damaged; scorch marks and rips across the chest and shoulder, likely from a direct hit by Lex Luthor’s Warsuit cannon. Superman himself looks mostly unscathed, but the costume clearly shows the aftermath of the blast. The images also indicate that David Corenswet is still wearing the same suit introduced in Superman, with only a small change to the collar. Because the outfit is so battered, fans are already guessing he may get a new or upgraded costume later in the movie. New footage reveals what sparks the fightNew leaked footage also shows a tense scene in Metropolis: Lex Luthor, wearing a functional version of his Warsuit, stands in the middle of a crowd when Superman arrives. He suddenly fires a green energy blast, scattering people and raising the stakes just before the two confront each other. Fans think this moment may be connected to Brainiac’s larger scheme. Several theories on social media, especially Reddit, indicate that Brainiac (Lars Eidinger) has issued a dire ultimatum to Earth: hand over Lex Luthor within 12 hours, or Metropolis will be destroyed. That ticking deadline helps explain why Superman seems unusually forceful toward Luthor. He may be acting out of urgency to stop a catastrophic threat linked to Brainiac.
