David Corenswet Superman Physique Revealed

James Gunn has shared the first photo of David Corenswet in his Superman costume, and he looks great! But more importantly, shortly afterwards David’s trainer Paolo Mascitti shared this behind the scenes training photo - and wow, has he packed on a lot of muscle.

When David was announced as the new Superman, fans were concerned that he would be too skinny, especially following in the footsteps of Henry Cavill, and that James Gunn might be going for a slimmer look like we had for Christopher Reeve.

But we’ve seen hints for a while that he’s been working hard behind the scenes, and Paolo has also been whipping up his co-stars into amazing shape too.

So with David standing at 6 '4”, a whole 3 inches taller than Cavill, he could end up being the biggest superman we’ve ever had.

It's funny that people consider Reeve "slimmer." At the time of Superman: the Movie's release, Christopher Reeve was one of the most muscular, jacked actors in Hollywood.

[jamieallover]

No actor is ever too skinny on Hollywood juice 😅

[mbdulka]

Christopher Reeve was 6'4" and was pretty big -- just no roids.

[williamj.dovejr.]

Reeve was a solid 6'4... this new kid looks good. I miss Henry, hell.. I miss Mr. Reeve but let's give him a chance. All he needs is a really good story arc.

[md.saunders]

Im pretty sure nobody thought he'd be to skinny. I knew this guy was going to get jacked immediately when he was announced.

I still remember vividly when Henry Cavill was announced as the new Superman back in 2011 some people were concerned and react the same way towards David Corenswet today. But look at Henry now. So don’t judge too quickly, the producers KNOWS what they are doing. All we have to do just wait and see the transformation.

Cavil set the standard's too high

[dbizz]

Ahhh the chicken, rice and broccoli effect 😂😂

[HeribertoAponte-ukrm]

6'4" was Christopher Reeve's height.

[sugarray]

I think people are forgetting Cavill was skinny and people were saying the same thing.

[mattvsmetaverse]

Oh, rest assured... with millions of dollars and access to all the best trainers, and all the best.... JUICE, it is indeed possible. Not to mention, he didn't look like he was in bad shape at all already, and looks like he's got good genes for building muscle. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he was easily able to pack on more with or without the sauce. I put on muscle without PEDs, and not being payed for it, so just imagine when that's all you gotta do and it's your job... Yea, not as much of a feat as some people think.

[stardust]

His face looks a bit different from pre bulking tho.

[jackdawson]

Shoutout Reeve, Cavil, and Pattinson for not hopping on the sazule

[StephenGangi]

That takes a ridiculous amount of effort. I have to wonder how much food they have to BURN through.

[julythrunov]

this narrator tells me what to think and feel!

[alexanderaben]

Chris Reeves and Dave Corenswet are basically the same height, but muscle mass increase…definitely💯

[coolguyyy]

For fans thinking David Corenswet wouldn’t be a good Superman because he’s too skinny is the same thing Henry Cavill did and they both succeeded in getting in Superman shape

[drewguysound]

Are people still really concerned about that when actors get picked up for a role? Who out there doesn’t have eyes. It’s never been a problem

[AccordingMark]

Did yall see what he did to Chris Pratt? Dude is totally jacked now!

[ckyung]

I fail to understand how Chris Reeves at 6’4” and 225lbs was “slim”. Frankly, that one topless picture of David looks like he’s been juicing. No one gets that big and ripped, or very little body fat without PEDs.
