What does this mean
New photos that have surfaced on social media from the set of the next Superman movie show David Corenswet wearing the classic Superman costume. His hands are tied behind his back and he is being taken by the military into a building called Metropolis City Hall.
Fans also caught a glimpse of a mysterious man standing right behind Superman, whose all-black costume has the letter ‘U’ written on it. His face is also covered with a black mask. Many speculate that the U represents Ultraman, Clark Kent’s evil lookalike from Earth-3. Another guess is that the masked man could be Ulysses aka Neil Quinn, who is working with the military against Superman. However, there is no official information yet about the story or villain in Superman: Legacy.
A user on X compared the leaked image of Superman’s arrest to a fictional scene from Zack Snyder’s 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in which the military is taking away Henry Cavill’s Superman, who is also handcuffed.
People It was also reported that Rachel Brosnahan was also spotted on set, but she concealed her appearance by wearing an all-black outfit to hide from photographers.
