James Gunn’s New Remarks on David Corenswet Are Stirring Up Marvel Fans

As a long-time fan of James Gunn and his work, I can’t help but be intrigued by his recent comments about David Corenswet as Superman. While I admit to being a bit skeptical at first, given Gunn’s impressive track record with action stars like Dave Bautista, Chris Pratt, John Cena, and Will Smith, I’m trying to keep an open mind. After all, Gunn has proven time and again that he knows how to bring out the best in his actors, so who am I to doubt him now?


James Gunn is putting in a lot of effort to construct a fresh movie universe, utilizing remnants from the previous DCEU. Notably, Gunn has already demonstrated his prowess in superhero films; he’s the mastermind behind the popular “Guardians of the Galaxy” series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As a devoted admirer, I must admit that Gunn’s latest remarks might stir feelings among us who cherished his past high-octane performances.

2025 looks like it’ll be a significant milestone for Superman, as it kicks off the new DC Universe on the big screen. Actor David Corenswet is preparing to embody the Man of Steel, and he’s undergoing a substantial physical change to fit the role.

During the latest New York Comic Con panel, Gunn provided updates about Superman and offered a sneak peek at what’s to come. He also commended Corenswet, going as far as to say that he’s the greatest action star Gunn has ever collaborated with.

Krypto has been truly exceptional in our work together during editing. For me personally, he’s a remarkable element within the story. When writing the script, his addition seemed to transform everything. We’re currently immersed in the editing phase, and David Corenswet is poised to astound audiences. He embodies the ideal movie star that many aspire to become. I believe people underestimate the range of this actor’s talent, both dramatically and comically.

He’s the best physical action star I’ve probably ever
worked with…I feel good about it, and I’m really hard on stuff, so it’s
been fantastic… It won’t be too long before we see a trailer, but it
also won’t be too soon.

It’s worth noting that Gunn has collaborated with notable action stars such as Dave Bautista, recognized for his muscular physique, Chris Pratt, who underwent significant changes to portray a superhero, along with John Cena and Will Smith, among others.

Hearing Gunn call David Corenswet the best action star left many fans surprised.

So fuck Chris Pratt, right?

As a die-hard fan, I must admit, his performance at Twisters left me cold and unconvinced. From what I saw, it seemed unlikely that he’d be able to shoulder a main role, let alone embody such an iconic character as the one in question.

Dude also said The Flash was the best CBM he had ever seen, but we all know how it ended up as one of DC’s biggest flops🤷‍♂️
