A list of Superman toy leaks reveals spoilers for the movie and confirms some of the rumors.
I suppose if you have been following all the news and rumors closely, the spoilers don’t really spoil much but the list reveals two potential major spoilers.
Worth a mention is that when questioned, James Gunn did seem to say they’re not major spoilers, as Gunn responded to the leaks, “I’m not sure what you’re talking about but I have to okay all the toys and I don’t think any of them spoil anything.”
Gunn also responded to villain rumors a while back and confirmed the villain is Lex Luthor: “The primary protagonist of Superman is, shockingly, Superman. The main villain of Superman is, shockingly, Lex Luthor. I don’t know where all the stuff is coming from that it’s something other than this. There are so many stories coming out every day it’s difficult to deal with and everytime I strike something down I’m giving it attention. So, I’ll say again, don’t believe anything unless you see it HERE (& why would you want to know everything before the movie comes out anyway?).”
What do the Superman toy leaks reveal?
The Superman toy leaks confirm that the David Corenswet Superman does indeed battle Ultraman, and that the leaks reveal Lex Luthor has something to do with a baby kaiju.
A while it ago it was rumored that Ultraman would be in the movie. However, it’s not the Ultraman most fans are familiar with. Set pics revealed an actor with black goggles, wearing all black with a silver “U” on his chest, as Superman was seemingly arrested by Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr.

Some fans are theorizing Ultraman was created by Lex and is some sort of Lex/Superman hybrid, maybe similar to Bizarro. Worth mentioning is that Gunn never shot down the Ultraman rumor, again, Gunn just confirmed Lex is the villain.
Regarding the baby kaiju, kaiju is the Japanese term for “monster,” as Godzilla, King Kong, etc. are referred to as kaiju. So maybe Lex steals a baby kaiju (monster of some sort) and the mom isn’t too happy. Or the baby kaiju grows up and battles Superman.

DC describes the film as telling the story of the Man of Steel’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.
“Superman is the true foundation of our creative vision for the DC Universe,” said James Gunn in the big DCU announcement. “Not only is Superman an iconic part of DC lore, he is also a favorite character for comic book readers, viewers of earlier movies, and fans around the world. I can’t wait to introduce our version of Superman who audiences will be able to follow and get to know across films, movies, animation and gaming.”
