New Set Photos Reveal Corenswet’s Superman Getting an Adorable Animal Co-Star! Could It Be a Second Green Lantern?

Superman is widely recognized as one of the greatest, most popular, and strongest comic book characters ever. Since his debut in 1938, he has been one of DC Comics’ biggest assets. Superman has largely embodied the ideals of heroism, becoming almost synonymous with the concept of a superhero.

His on-screen portrayals have been numerous, spanning various formats from live-action to animated. Superman has been a staple of modern American pop culture for decades. James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie will be a new addition to an already extensive library of films featuring the iconic character.

We’ve recently discussed how Gunn’s vision for Superman might differ from Snyder’s darker interpretation, as set photos and videos from the filming process continue to surface online. In this report, we will focus on a new batch of set photos that may reveal the introduction of a significant new character to the film.

These new set photos showcase Superman interacting with an adorable and unexpected co-star—a squirrel. In the images below, you can see Superman, in full costume, engaging with the furry little creature:

These photos may not reveal much, but they reinforce what we’ve previously reported: Gunn is aiming for a more classic and lighter interpretation of Superman, contrasting sharply with Snyder’s darker portrayal. Snyder’s Superman rarely interacted with animals in such a manner. It’s not the first hint that Gunn’s Superman will have a lighter tone.

In these images, Superman appears to be rescuing what seems to be an ordinary squirrel, highlighting his role as an everyday hero. This contrasts starkly with his actions in Snyder’s films, where he faced monumental threats like General Zod. However, there’s a twist.

The squirrel might simply be a random choice, but it could also be teasing the introduction of a significant and intriguing character in Superman’s story. DC Comics fans will recognize Ch’p, a pivotal member of the Green Lantern Corps who resembles a squirrel from the H’lvenite race on the planet H’lven. These aliens, resembling bipedal squirrels and chipmunks, make it plausible that the squirrel in the set photos could indeed be Ch’p. However, without more details from the set photos, it remains uncertain.

We’ll continue to track this story closely, so stay tuned for updates!
