DC boss James Gunn has shared the first look at the upcoming Superman movie\u2019s villain The Engineer, played by Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda. The post was dropped on the occasion of The Engineer\u2019s anniversary. This behind-the-scenes sneak peek comes months after it was confirmed that the highly anticipated 2025 blockbuster will be part of the summer movie lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the DC<\/a> Comics universe, The Engineer, also known as Angela Spica, is a part of the antihero team known as The Authority. The character possesses the ability to create advanced weaponry and can even resize her body with the help of nanotechnology.\u00a0 While it\u2019s still unclear whether this version of The Engineer will have the same powers, we do know Maria will serve as an antagonist to Superman, played by David Corenswet.<\/span><\/p>\n

To mark the anniversary of The Engineer\u2019s debut, James Gunn<\/a> posted a tribute on social media. \u201cHappy Anniversary to the Engineer,\u201d he wrote referring to the character created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. Gunn also praised Gabriela de Far\u00eda\u2019s portrayal of the character as \u201cplayed to sinister perfection\u201d in the upcoming film.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the photo, The Engineer appears to be lying on the grassy ground, looking less than lively at LordTech Field, possibly after a showdown with Superman or simply resting behind the scenes. Previous set photos had already teased a battle between the two characters. While the image suggests a more serious moment, it\u2019s likely that de Far\u00eda was just having fun on set.<\/span><\/p>\n
