    A TV spot for James Gunn‘s upcoming Superman has fans questioning what is going on with the Man of Steel’s face.

    The ad was released Jan. 27 and features Corenswet‘s Superman flying in an extended shot through a frozen landscape.

    In the sequence, the actor’s eyes appear larger and farther apart than usual, causing one Threads user to note, “There’s something with his face that looks a little off. I know there’s plenty of time to refine the CG.”

    Gunn replied: “There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People’s faces can look different when you put a wide angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard [Norway] is 100% real as is David.”

    Social media users — a large number of whom are loyalists to Henry Cavill and his version of Superman — were quick to respond snarkily with comments like, “I believe him,” and, “We can tell.”

    ONTD, what do you think? CGI or not?
