Summary
- A new batch of fake images of David Corenswet as Superman have been released, deceiving fans into thinking they are real
- The images are likely generated by AI or Photoshop and are watermarked with “Shade of Alchemy”
- James Gunn has confirmed that the images are fake and that he only has the official photos
For the Man of Steel’s birthday, a new batch of fake David Corenswet Superman images have surfaced online which is duping fans into thinking they are real.
Following James Gunn revealing the new symbol and title, the same person that previously released fake David Corenswet Superman images based on pics of Henry Cavill is back at it.
The images, likely generated by AI and/or Photoshop, are claimed to be of David Corenswet as Superman on the set of the movie which started filming on Thursday, the birthday of the Man of Steel.
Again, as we see, the images are watermarked with “Shade of Alchemy” which is the same watermark used for those previously released confirmed fake images (see below).
“Glad you think he looks great, but there’s no leak,” Gunn previously said about the first batch of fake leaks. “The only photos taken of David in the Superman suit are on my phone and I’m standing with him.”
Update: Gunn also confirmed these images are fake on Threads.
“Come on,” Gunn responded to a fan questioning if the set images are real. “That looks like a real photo to you?

New title:
The new title of the movie is Superman and it flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.
The cast also includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner; Edi Gathegi is playing Mister Terrific; María Gabriela de Faría is playing The Engineer; Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho; Skyler Gisondo is Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio is Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore is Otis, with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Sean Gunn is also playing Maxwell Lord in the DCU, though it’s unconfirmed if he will be in the Superman movie. Milly Alcock is also playing Supergirl rumored to first appear in Superman prior to her solo Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film.
Gunn’s Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
