DC) [슈퍼맨] 제임스 건 감독은 영화 슈트에 팬티를 빼려 했다

“D에이브이id [Corenswet] said something to me that really affected me. We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened tested with trunks and no trunks. And one of the things D에이브이id said is that Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him. He’s an alien. He’s got these incredible powers.” James Gunn said.
“He shoots beams out of his eyes, [he] can blow the truck over. He’s this incredibly powerful – could be considered scary – individual, and he wants people to like him. He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler. He dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that. That really clicked in for me.”

팬티를 뺀 버전도 테스트하면서 준비중이었는데

데이빗 코렌스웻(수퍼맨 배우)이 "수퍼맨은 아이들이 그를 두려워하지 않기를 바란다, 희망과 낙관의 상징이 되고싶어한다.

그래서 프로레슬러처럼 입고다닌다, 사람들이 그를 두려워하지 않아도 되는 방식으로"

라는 말을 하자 그에 영감을 크게 받아서 팬티를 유지했다고 한다.
