The first official DCU project,Creature Commandos, is set to premiere in just over a month, but arguably the most important one on the slate just got a major update fromJames Gunnhimself. On hispersonal Instagram account, Gunn posted a picture of Metamorpho to hype up his appearance inSuperman, and a fan took to the comments to ask if his costume would be CGI or practical in the upcoming DCU film. Gunn quickly responded and revealed that Metamorpho, who will be played byBarrystarAnthony Carriganin the film, will be completely practical. This certainly comes as a surprise given his powers, which allow him to transform and shape-shift various parts of his body or his entire figure as a whole, but still welcome news for fans who enjoy practical effects over CGI.
