Multiple trades are reporting that David Corenswet, long a fan favorite to be cast in the role, has landed the coveted part of Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman. Playing Lois Lane opposite him is The Marvelous Ms. Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan. And yes, Corenswet truly does look like what would happen if you mixed Henry Cavill and Tom Welling into a blender, doesn’t he?
“I completely relate to Superman because he’s everything I am,” James Gunn said in a THR interview. “He’s somebody who is an outsider who feels like an alien, but also the ultimate insider, because he’s fucking Superman. And that’s kind of like what I feel like.”
Corenswet himself had said in an Entertainment Weekly interview that playing Superman would be a “pie-in-the-sky ambition.” Well, guess what? It’s happening.
Look for Superman: Legacy in 2025.
