James Gunn revealed to Fandango that he consulted none other than Zack Snyder over whether or not to add red trunks to the new Supperman costume. Snyder’s “Man of Steel” famously featured a Superman costume sans trunks for Henry Cavill. The director helmed two more movies with Cavill’s Superman, 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League.” Now the DC Comics character is being rebooted by Gunn — and those red trunks have been a fan fixation since the first photos of actor David Corenswet in-character leaked online.
