As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! Alongside the announcement for the Puppy Bowl, we caught a glimpse of David Corenswet donning the cape and emblem as none other than Superman in James Gunn’s highly anticipated Man of Steel film. The movie is set to soar onto big screens on July 11th!

David Corenswet takes on the role of the red-caped hero, with Rachel Brosnahan portraying investigative journalist and potential love interest Lois Lane. Additionally, Nicholas Hoult joins the cast as the malevolent Lex Luthor. This new installment also introduces Superman’s beloved canine companion: Krypto the dog.

Additionally, a Pully Bowl trailer featuring Superman will be unveiled on February 9.

James Gunn praises David Corenswet

Last month saw Gunn say how incredible his Man of Steel actor is:

Without a doubt, David Corenswet will astound everyone with his exceptional talent. Working alongside him has been an unparalleled experience, as he possesses skills that rank among the finest actors I’ve encountered in my career. Simply put, he’s nothing short of remarkable.

Superman bulking

Back in September, David Corenswet also talked how he trained for the role.

In my own words, I’ve often yearned for a more substantial build. A familiar face from high school once commented, not directly to me but in my presence, and I surely overheard it. She remarked, “You know man, no one wants to date a stick figure.” I responded, “Well, I am the stick figure,” as I shared this with you.

In reality, many individuals take pleasure in dating ‘stick figures.’ However, at that moment, I resonated deeply with those words. I’ve always felt slight and struggled to fill out a t-shirt as I desired. Furthermore, I yearned for a physical presence that I couldn’t quite achieve.

He went on saying, “I assumed I’d feel content at 190 pounds, but I wasn’t. Instead, I sought more. The opportunity to build muscle for Superman appealed to me as a perfect excuse to gain some weight and explore my potential. I believed that 210 pounds would bring happiness, and then I managed to reach 238. At 238, I reached my maximum.

Corenswet added, “I wasn’t 238 when we started shooting. I was 238 at my max, that was crazy.

I wore a crew neck sweatshirt from Champion. It was in an XL or double XL size, and I felt quite pleased to find it fitting me so well. Unfortunately, none of my trousers could accommodate me after that.

He said, “I didn’t find it comfortable because I did it so fast that my body hadn’t had time to get used to the increased weight.” At the time, he was consuming a lot of food, which was at his bulk’s maximum. After that, he gradually lost weight before filming began. He started shooting when he weighed around 228-230 pounds. He wanted this opportunity to see what it felt like to gain as much weight as possible.
