Exclusive Superman Image Reveals New Look At David Corenswet's Man Of Steel, Krypto And Robots Inside The Fortress Of Solitude

This article is part of ScreenRant’s Exclusive 2025 Summer Movie Preview. Make sure to keep an eye out for the full feature next week!

A new image from James Gunn’s Superman movie reveals a fresh look at David Corenswet’s Man of Steel and the Fortress of Solitude in the DC Universe. July marks the month of Krypton’s last son finally making his return to the big screen, as Gunn’s Superman movie is almost here. While audiences have been waiting to see Gunn’s take on the Man of Steel, Superman will set the foundation for the DCU going forward, with several more projects on the way from DC Studios in the new interconnected superhero universe.

ScreenRant is proud to debut an exclusive first-look image from the Superman movie ahead of its major summer release on July 11. The image shows Corenswet’s suited-up Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, having a conversation with Krypto the Super-Dog, who doesn’t look entirely amused, while one of the fortress’s robots stands behind and listens to their chat. The other robots can be seen in the background in standby mode, as they are likely recharging. See the full-size image below:

Based on the new look at the Fortress of Solitude, it’s clear that Gunn’s movie intends to make Clark’s home base feel a little more lively than past versions in other live-action Superman movies and TV shows. In most iterations, the Fortress of Solitude usually only has the presence of a Kryptonian A.I. voice – Jor-El in most cases – while characters like Krypto or the robots have not had that same spotlight. The inner design of the DCU’s Fortress of Solitude also shows that while the Superman film will lean into the crystal look of the exterior, the interior design is more expanded than in previous adaptations.

Since more can be seen in the background of the Fortress of Solitude, Gunn’s Superman film will clearly utilize all the space, with more technology visible further back in the fortress. This is also a sign of how the DCU timeline wants to honor what has come before from DC media while taking the next step to modernize and allow more evolution in order to make room for a new era. As there are more areas of the Fortress of Solitude that have yet to be seen, only time will tell what else Gunn has in store for fans with this version of Superman’s famous base.

With how Gunn is reinventing the Fortress of Solitude for the DCU franchise, it’s exciting to see new touches and approaches in how he explores the DC icon’s lore for his Superman movie. With Superman characters like Krypto and the robots being brought into this adaptation, it will be exciting to see what their presence adds to Clark’s life, as there are bound to be plenty of good dramatic and comedic beats with them. As Superman gets nearer to its summer release date, the DCU installment continues to look incredibly promising.
