Director James Gunn’s Superman reboot film has its share of thriller characters, however maybe the most enigmatic up to now is Ultraman, the black-clad villain seen taking up Superman in fleeting glimpses all through the film’s trailers. Now, Gunn has shared a new look at Ultraman – and it is positively totally different from what we have seen up to now.
Gunn posted a picture of Ultraman in a shredded, burnt model of the costume we have beforehand seen, this time displaying a naked, flesh-toned neck and what seems to be wispy blonde hair poking out the again of his masks. The caption solely confirms the character’s identification.
Test it out:
There have been questions on who’s actually beneath Ultraman’s masks since the character was first seen, with theories starting from a model of Superman’s twisted clone Bizarro to Milly Alcock’s Supergirl (who has additionally been rumored as the individual beneath the helmet of one of the film’s different villains, the Hammer of Boravia).
However this picture has me satisfied it is another person fully. Whereas the blonde hair would possibly recommend Supergirl, It is now my private principle that the true identification of Ultraman is none aside from Apollo of the Authority, the a lot meaner model of the Justice League’s Superman equal who has basically the identical powers, and a blonde mane of hair.
Perhaps it appears like a stretch, however contemplate that one other member of the Authority, the Engineer (performed by María Gabriela De Faría), is already confirmed to look in the movie as one of Lex Luthor’s henchmen. Gunn additionally introduced an Authority movie in the first spherical of initiatives for the ‘Gods and Monsters’ part of his new DC Universe, although it might be one of the film’s he is admitted have been powerful nuts to crack in the scripting part.
All of that mentioned, it does must be famous how a lot the shredded model of Ultraman’s costume appears like the containment go well with worn by Doomsday, the villain who killed Superman in comics, which can trace at some of the film’s plot – particularly since the non-Justice League of the movie strongly resembles the one that appeared in The Dying of Superman story.
We’ll discover out quickly, as Superman releases on July 11. For extra, try our record of all the upcoming DC motion pictures and reveals it’s worthwhile to find out about.
