Gunn revealed he went 'back and forth a lot' on whether to include the red trunks, even seeking input from Snyder, who said he 'tried like a billion versions' but 'just never got there'.
Ultimately, a conversation with lead actor David Corenswet convinced Gunn to keep the trunks, as a nod to how Superman would want to appear less intimidating to children.
