Despite the shocking news, Superman’s future in the new DCU is still incredibly bright and Gunn himself is currently working on a new film that focuses on a much younger Clark Kent. It turns out that fans already have their top pick to become the next Kryptonian hero and the name David Corenswet has been reverberating for a number of weeks now.Instagram artist @jscomicart recently unveiled an amazing fan image depicting the 29-year-old as the new DCU’s Man of Steel. Instead of giving him the modernized Superman suit used in the franchise, the artist went with a look that closely resembles Max Fleischer’s original comic book design for the character and I gotta say, the Silver Age look is doing it for me.

If Gunn really wants to make good on his promise of putting the fans first, then his first order of business is to listen to their fan-casting calls. I mean, even Kevin Feige did it with John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic so this one shouldn’t be that hard.Meanwhile, in other DCU news, the franchise’s next film Shazam! Fury of the Gods is scheduled for release on March 17, 2023.
