And I kept going back to no trunks, no trunks, no trunks.
And I’m like, well, let’s just grind it out.

The decision wasnt made lightly, though.
The team tested multiple variations, with and without the trunks, during the design phase.
Gunn recalled:
David [Corenswet] said something to me that really affected me.

We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened tested with trunks and no trunks.
And one of the things David said is that Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him."
He’s got these incredible powers.
Follows the titular superhero as he reconciles his heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way in a world that views kindness as old-fashioned.
He shoots beams out of his eyes, can blow the truck over.
I was like, that really clicked in for me.
He’s the first one, brightly colored and that’s who he is.
