Despite the absence of an official reveal, a fan's creative rendition of Superman star Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl helmet has sparked intrigue regarding the character's appearance in the upcoming movie.

As James Gunn and Peter Safran prepare to launch the new DCU cinematic universe with Superman, fans eagerly anticipate the debut of David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, alongside a star-studded cast including Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, and María Gabriela de Faría. Noteworthy is Merced's casting as Hawkgirl, following her recent role in the Spider-Man spinoff Madame Web.

While the only official teaser so far has been Superman's shield, inspiring fan interpretations of his potential suit, one fan has embarked on envisioning Merced's portrayal of Hawkgirl, starting with her distinctive helmet. Shared on Reddit's r/DC_Cinematic by user felipeilla, the fan art showcases three variations of Hawkgirl's helmet, each drawing inspiration from different comic iterations and featuring subtle design nuances.

Hawkgirl's helmet, a key element alongside her iconic mace, serves as a focal point for crafting a cinematic rendition of the character. However, some fans have raised concerns about the helmet's size, particularly its width, suggesting it appears more akin to a Wolverine mask than Hawkgirl's traditional headgear. Notably, previous fan art of Superman, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, and Green Lantern omitted the helmet, indicating the challenges of interpreting this crucial component.

Gunn has faced online scrutiny over the extensive character lineup in the upcoming Superman film, emphasizing the film's role in establishing the broader universe without overwhelming the narrative. As fans await the film's release on July 11, 2025, anticipation grows regarding Gunn and Safran's creative direction and its reception by audiences.
