Ex-Superman Turns Heads With New Look Amid His Replacement’s Box Office Success originally appeared on Parade. Henry Cavill has left his Superman days behind him, ditching his formerly clean-cut superhero aesthetic amid his replacement David Corenswet’s major win at the box office.

James Gunn is feeling "incredibly grateful" for the initial box office success of Superman and the positive reception from audiences. The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios took to Threads on Sunday to express his appreciation after the superhero blockbuster saw an estimated global debut of $217 million.

The question now is if DC Studios can keep the momentum going with movies about Supergirl and Clayface.
