The wait for superhero movies always feels endless. There are countless trailers, TV spots, and posters that act as appetizers for a main course that can’t come soon enough. However, marketing can go too far, such as with the latest merchandise for James Gunn’s Superman, which seemingly spoils a major twist ahead of the movie’s July 11 release date.
Similar to another toy spoiler, this latest reveal comes from the latest wave of Funko Pop! figures for the DCU movie. While most of the collectibles are harmless, including the ones for Mister Terrific and Guy Gardner, the Hammer of Boravia figure is where things take a turn. The number associated with Pop! is 583, which is shared with Ultraman, seemingly confirming that the characters are one and the same.
Those unfamiliar with the inner workings of Funko Pop! figures will probably balk at the idea of toys spoiling such a significant part of Superman. However, the Chase sticker on Ultraman’s box is a dead giveaway because they only appear on Funko products that are alternate versions of another.
Of course, until Superman hits theaters, this is all speculation.
