David Corenswet’s comments already offer some insights into why Superman will have a “fight-ready” suit in Man of Tomorrow.

The DC superhero’s suit will have increased functionality that could prove useful as he faces another major battle in the upcoming Superman movie. So, fans can expect Corenswet to be better equipped to face more physical challenges in Man of Tomorrow.
