James Gunn‘s upcoming Superman film will see the titular hero don his signature red trunks, a move that the DC Studios co-head said he went back and forth on, and even consulted with another Superman director about.

While there will always be fans who want to pit the DCU against the DCEU (or "SnyderVerse"), James Gunn and Zack Snyder don't appear to have an issue. In fact, the Superman helmer turned to the Man of Steel and Justice League director for some very specific advice about the hero's costume.

David Corenswet's Man of Steel embraces his red trunks in Superman, the upcoming film by writer-director James Gunn. During the movie's early stages of production, however, there was serious consideration given by Gunn to keeping the red trunks off of the colorful superhero.
