All About the Next Superman David Corenswet

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the next big screen #Superman, #DavidCorenswet! If you think you've seen him before, you're probably right.

David Corenswet is writer/director James Gunn's pick for Clark Kent in 'Superman: Legacy' (2025). The first film in Gunn and producer Peter Safran's DC Universe is slated for July 2025.
Rachel Brosnahan costars as Lois Lane in what's described Superman's early years as he tries to make sense of being a Kryptonian raised on Earth, a theme also explored in Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' (2013).

You may know David from "Hollywood" or "The Politician," both Netflix series from creator Ryan Murphy, where Corenswet plays a "Hollywood" hopeful who does sex work on the side and the athletic adversary for class president in "The Politician." He also played the projectionist paramour of 'Pearl' in the sequel to Ti West's horror behind-the-scenes film 'X' (2022).

In a script and in an interview he was told that he looks like superman. His initials is DC. It was fate.

[DelliBurn]

Wasn't too sure about the casting announcement for David Corenswet(Rachel is spot on). But after seeing the last clip at the end here(Pearl 2022), I see it now. Thats Christopher Reeves right there

[spasebar]

Perfect casting. He looks straight out of a comic book.

[mattragusa]

0:53 Now that's a Superman smile! 😁

As any other Henry Cavill fan, I will always held him close as the greatest Superman who never got to fly. But I'm excited for David. He's perfect for the role and he was my one and only choice for a new Clark Kent. So congratulations. Here we go, Superman: Legacy! I'll be there day one

[haninhk]

He does look the part. Wishing him success.

[RoodeMenon]

He has the laid back charm of the mid west. He will make for a very good Clark Kent/Kal El.

[lenardregencia]

Great Casting choice!
Looks like Superman and can act like Clark Kent.

[Riotiq]

David is able to capture an innocence that not even Henry could do. He just has the look of a naive Farm boy. I’m all for it and I think he could potentially become the best Superman we’ve ever had. LETS GO DAVID!!

[Marlo-]

He's absolutely perfect as Clark Kent. I cannot wait for this movie.

[DynamicUnreal]

I saw him in The Politician like 2 or 3 years back and remember thinking to myself "this guy looks just like Superman." I never thought he would actually be cast in the role.

[robd]

I think we're in good hands here. He definitely looks the part, and seems to have the acting talent to back it up.

Now THATS my Superman 🦸‍♂️🥹🫡💯‼️🔥 Welcome Mr. Corenswet

[alicialouisesese]

I'm still heartbrokened over Henry departure as superman. But I know David will do great as superman. I just wanna say. In time I will accept the new superman. Right now. I can't.

[MonsterArmz]

His acting is suit for clark kent and superman at the same time let's bring this classic superman just like old times

[LibertyBridgeProductions]

Mate he looks like Tom Welling and Henry Cavil and acts like Christopher Reeves and Tyler Hochlen.

Fucking perfect.

[Hellen-nbgc]

I can’t wait to see him in the role of Superman

[DekeSimmons]

David is perfect for the role. Knows how to act, could be nice, sweet, but also could be a farmer in Kansas. Also could be mad, but not violent. So if Apollo is the anti Superman rival, Superman vs Apollo could be like Superman vs The Elite.❤

[kryptedson]

I mean I am a little upset that Henry is no longer Superman, but I have hope for this new guy. He has the looks, he’ll probably train for the role to physically look more “Superman”.

[excalibur]

Why is it that Superman is the only comic book superhero that Hollywood really tries to make sure looks on the screen exactly like he does on the page?
