Costume designer Michael Wilkinson talks Batman vs. Superman

January 30, 2014 by admin

With production on Warner Bros.’ Batman vs. Superman seemingly underway in Michigan, it should only be a matter of time before we finally get some solid news on the Man of Steel sequel, not to mention our first look at Ben Affleck’s Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, along with Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel in his updated costume. We’ve already heard some comments from costume designer Michael Wilkinson about his work on the hotly-anticipated sequel, and now he’s offered up a few more words during a chat with Entertainment Weekly.

“I’m not really at liberty to talk about the details of everything, but suffice to say we really respect the histories of all of these characters. We’re all very reverent about the iconic graphic nature of these characters and their costumes. We see ourselves as part of the natural lineage of how these characters are being portrayed through out the ages and our goal is to create something relevant and exciting for today’s audiences and something that works for this thrilling cinematic universe that our director Zack Snyder is creating.”

Wilkinson then went on to discuss the process of designing such iconic costumes, “You really dive into the source material. We’re looking at all of the different ways these characters have been portrayed over the ages. We’re looking hard into Zack’s script and working out what makes sense as far as telling the story — who these people really are and what they represent, how to make sense of them in today’s world. It’s an interesting, multilayered design challenge.”

And lastly, as for when we might get to see his designs, Wilkinson played coy, stating that “Our film just got pushed. It’s now not being released until June or July 2016. I don’t know. We’re been having some interesting camera tests and photo shoots so far. I’m not exactly sure what dates we’re going to get them released, but I’m sure Warner Bros. has it all worked out.”

Batman vs. Superman is set for release on May 6th 2016 with a cast that also includes returning Man of Steel stars Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Lawrence Fishburne (Perry White) and Diane Lane (Martha Kent).
