After last night’s big reveal that the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) will face a new, fearsome opponent: James Gunn’s Superman Reboot, we have another batch of photos from the set in Cleveland, Ohio, giving us a much closer look at this mysterious villain.

We’re still not entirely sure who this is (Ultraman? Midnighter? Bizarro? Ulysses?), but whoever it is, he’s clearly strong enough to pose a physical threat to the Man of Tomorrow and keep him pinned to the ground.

In any case, Scooper MTTSH insists that it is Ultraman.

The photos also give us a better look at María Gabriela de Faría as Authority member The Engineer and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., who are clearly working together to capture Superman. Is Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) giving the orders? Or will we learn that Amanda Waller is pulling the strings?

Check out the new snaps at the links below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Superman Rachel Brosnahan will also star as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex’s assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play “Ma” and “Pa” Kent, and Milly Alcock’s Supergirl is rumored to also make her debut before her own Woman of tomorrow film, but that has yet to be confirmed.

We’re not sure yet what role these other superheroes will play in the story, but Gunn has already revealed that Superman’s double life as Clark Kent and the Man of Steel will be addressed in the film, suggesting that these characters will be his “super friends.” Whether or not they’ll be part of a real team remains to be seen.

“I am thrilled to announce the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29th. Completely coincidentally and unplanned, this is Superman’s birthday,” Gunn captioned the first official photo earlier this year. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the movie ‘Superman: Legacy.’ When I finished the final draft, it was clear that the title was SUPERMAN,” he added. “We’ll come to you in July 2025.”
