David Corenswet’s Superman has to fight to repair his reputation after his nemesis, Lex Luthor, releases some damaging information.

Move over, Henry Cavill, there’s a new Superman in town! David Corenswet makes his debut in the iconic red and blue suit in James Gunn’s Superman.

The latest superhero movie, which launches Gunn’s new DC Universe, smartly avoids rehashing Clark Kent/Superman’s origins and instead drops us in the middle of a new story.

The film is set three years after Superman (David Corenswet) announces himself to the public, and he’s already working at the Daily Planet and dating Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), who already knows his true alien identity.

After Superman stops a conflict between the fictional nations of Boravia and Jahranpur, his nemesis, tech billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), seeks to destroy his popularity by releasing some damaging information – before trying to wipe him out for good.
