How David Corenswet landed the role of Superman
The question of who will play the iconic superhero in the Gunn movie has been plaguing DC comics fans for months. Since the director announced a new project in March. Naturally, the examination of candidates took time, which he frankly spoke about on social networks. Gradually, the plot drags on, fans speculate on who could take the place of Henry Cavill, whom Gunn and his colleague Peter Safran refuse quite unexpectedly. The far from young age of the actor – 40 years old, as well as the revision of the principle of telling the story of Superman, in which the “man of steel” does not fit, had an effect. There were rumors Logan Lerman, 31, who was spotted in the action movie Faster than a Bullet (2022), as well as Nicholas Hoult, 33, or Tom Brittney, 32, could take over by Cavill. They all passed the audition. But, as a result, the youngest candidate from this group won – 29-year-old David Korensvet, who will turn 30 on July 8. The most interesting thing is that he almost predicted this work for himself, it turns out often produces in Hollywood when you just need to remember a project you would like to participate in.
In 2019, Korenswet shared his thoughts on the superhero in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “My dearest dream is to play Superman. I would love to see someone do an upbeat (Superman version) retrospective,” the actor said. “I love Henry Cavill’s dark and gritty approach, but I wish the next movie was brighter and lighter.”
