Superman Set Photos Reveal First Look At Comics Accurate Mister Terrific

The DCU Hero Looks Pitch-Perfect

The Superman reboot movie will be the second live-action project to give Mister Terrific a comic book-accurate costume. The first being Arrow, with actor Echo Kellum playing Curtis Holt, the Arrowverse's version of Mister Terrific. While the two takes on the genius DC hero sport a very similar costume, they are very different in a key way, as Gathegi's Mister Terrific from Superman is Michael Holt, just like the hero is known in DC Comics.

Edi Gathegi has been cast as Mister Terrific in Superman (2025). Here's a full breakdown of the DC Comics superhero.

While Corenswet's Superman costume being revealed to be brighter than expected is fantastic, the new set photos might be even more exciting due to providing the first look at Gathegi as Mister Terrific. The character looks great in his white, black, and red costume. Mister Terrific's signature "Fair Play" can be seen alongside the sleeves of his superhero suit. While this is the first look at Gathegi in costume in Superman, it is not the first tease of Mister Terrific for the movie.

The first Superman set photos teased the destruction of Metropolis amid a battle Superman and a villain will have in the movie. While the rubble all over Metropolis was a major focus of attention, Mister Terrific's ship was spotted on the DCU movie's set. In the comics, the character flies a large T-shaped ship. The Superman set photos showed a large box with a T in it, likely standing in for the ship, which will be added via CGI. With more DCU heroes confirmed for the movie, new Superman set photos could soon reveal a first look at them.
