David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the suggestive Supergirl drink cup going viral online. The collectible cup nods to the iconic DC hero, offering a stylized interpretation of Supergirl’s classic costume. However, a peculiar design flaw in the cup quickly caught attention online just ahead of the movie’s release, also taking Corenswet and Hoult by surprise.
David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult react on viral Supergirl cup
The Superman co-stars’ unfiltered reactions to the viral Supergirl cup captured exactly why the internet couldn’t look away.
With the next DC Universe film just weeks away, marketing is in full swing, and these days, that means more than press tours and trailers. Collectible popcorn buckets and themed drink cups from theater chains have become a staple of big releases, and Supergirl is no exception.
The upcoming release has had its fair share of promo cups and buckets, but one AMC design stole the spotlight for the wrong reason. The chain released a cup meant to look like Kara Zor-El in her blue suit and her tan coat.
Instead, the flesh-colored jacket took over social media, with viewers pointing out its unfortunate resemblance to foreskin. The cup’s viral moment even prompted a response from David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult, picked up by Entertainment Tonight.
“I don’t like that one bit,” Corenswet started before Hoult joked, “I need a lot of those.” The Superman portrayer further added, “I don’t understand, and I don’t think I want it explained.” Hoult then slyly said, “It reminds me of…” before Corenswet stopped him, saying, “No, no no no no.” Thus, it’s safe to say that they see the cup’s unusual and mildly suggestive aspect too.
David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult led James Gunn’s Superman 2025, taking on the roles of the Man of Steel and his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor. They will be reprising their roles in 2027’s Man of Tomorrow.
Meanwhile, this year, DC Studios has put Milly Alcock front and center as Kara Zor-El in Supergirl. The film hits North American theaters and IMAX on June 26, 2026, with an international rollout starting June 24. Directed by Craig Gillespie, it’s the second big release in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s rebooted DC Universe.
