'Superman' Director and Star Give a Perfect Reason for Bringing Back the Character's Classic Red Trunks

Superman director James Gunn and star David Corenswet reveal why the film brought back the classic red trunks, and the answer is probably the best explanation anyone has given. Superman has one of the most iconic superhero costumes of all time, though one common source of criticism has been the red trunks on the outside of his costume. In 2011, The New 52 relaunch got rid of the red trunks, with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel popularizing the idea of a new "trunkless" Superman for mainstream audiences. When David Corenswet's Superman costume was first unveiled, the return of the red trunks sparked much discussion.
