Hawkgirl actress Isabela Merced looks back at when she mistakenly revealed a bigSupermanspoiler from theDC Universeinstallment. As the DCU timeline is getting ready to kick into overdrive this summer withJames Gunn’sSupermanmovie, there are still a lot of plot details being kept under wraps. However, it turns out one detail was revealed way too early, according to one of theSupermancast members.
In a new interview withEntertainment Weekly, Merced was asked about her upcoming gig as Hawkgirl in theSupermanmovie. However, the DCU actress wanted to remain careful about sharing details, as she brought up how she accidentally spoiled something major from the film back when filming was getting started.Merced reflected on how she got in trouble by accidentally sharing the new S logo for the DCU’s Superman, sharing the following story:
What Isabela Merced’s Superman Story Means For The DCU
While it was definitely a simple error on Merced’s part,it’s also understandable why DC Studios probably panicked the way they did about the logo coming out. For general audience members, who may not be following the deeper DC Comics lore,the Superman S logo from Gunn’s moviemay just be a regular symbol to them, as it’s clear that it’s related to the Man of Steel. However, getting that S logo revealed to long-time comic book fans, has a bigger meaning, as they know it’s a crucial deal that Clark Kent’s costume has this particular version of his shield.
With the DCU franchise adapting the Superman logo that was used in theKingdom Comecomic, it raised a lot of questions about what this means forDavid Corenswet’s Superman. It is perhaps possible it was just too early for DC Studios when Merced initially shared her post, especially if there were already marketing plans in place. But in the end, there are still very few details known about why theKingdom Comedesign is being used for the DCU, so perhaps that will be a plot point actually addressed in theSupermanmovie.
Our Take On Isabela Merced’s Superman Story
From everything Merced shared about getting theSupermanlogo out there prematurely, it’s still a fun aspect,as there are always at least a few things leaked or spoiled in advance for most superhero movies. In the end, there are still many layers to theSupermanfilm that they have still been able to keep a secret, allowing audience members to experience it firsthand when they see the movie this summer. With only a few more months left to go beforeSupermanflies into theaters, time will tell what else they have in store.
