James Gunn Denies CG in Superman's Flying Face After TV Spot
DC Studios co-chief James Gunn has addressed the online buzz surrounding Superman's flying face after a new TV spot for the upcoming Superman movie sparked debate over the weekend. The 30-second video features two new clips: Lex Luthor exiting a helicopter in a snowy wilderness, possibly in search of the Fortress of Solitude, and Superman performing a barrel roll over an icy landscape as he speeds toward an unknown destination.
Some viewers pointed out that Superman's face, portrayed by David Corenswet, appeared unnaturally still despite his hair and cape billowing in the wind, leading to speculation about "wonky CGI." However, Gunn took to Threads to clarify that no CGI was used on Superman's face in the shot. Responding to a fan who praised the TV spot but noted something off about Superman's face, Gunn stated, "There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People’s faces can look different when you put a wide angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real as is David." Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago, served as a filming location for parts of the movie.This revelation confirms that David Corenswet's seemingly knowing smirk while flying is entirely natural, possibly enhanced by a fan blowing on his face during filming. Despite Gunn's clarification, fans continue to discuss and compare the shot to that of Adam Warlock flying in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, another film written and directed by Gunn.
The excitement for the Superman movie remains high, with its release scheduled for July 11, 2025. As the first film in the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, it has generated significant interest. IGN provides detailed coverage, including an explainer on all the DC Heroes and Villains in the new trailer, insights from James Gunn on Krypto being a rather terrible dog in the movie, discussions on how Superman embodies hope, and more.
