Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

Superman hit the big screen on July 11 with all the power of a Kryptonian smashing through a Metropolis high-rise. The film is a reboot from director James Gunn, who directed the Guardians of the Galaxy series.

A nother little-known denizen of the Man of Steel’s vast universe is making his silver screen debut in director James Gunn's " Superman " blockbuster. His name? Metamorpho, a heroic shape-shifting misfit, AKA the Element Man or the Fab Freak of 1001 Changes.
