In a matter of days, James Gunn’s take on Superman will grace the silver screen, and the anticipation among fans is palpable as they eagerly await the unfolding narrative. However, the director himself has shed light on why he thought David Corenswet was perfectly suited for the part.
The leader of DC Studios disclosed to TopMob that the actor was selected among thirty others to embody the well-known superhero. He added that Corenswet mirrors his screen persona in real life, making it simpler for the creators to pick him from the pool of contenders.
David is set to star alongside Rachel Brosnahan, who will play the role of Lois Lane.
James Gunn reflects on David Corenswet playing Superman in upcoming DC movie
As your trusted lifestyle advisor, allow me to share some intriguing insights I recently gathered during a private chat with filmmaker James Gunn. In this exclusive discussion, he divulged his rationale behind selecting David Corenswet to don the iconic cape and embody Superman on-screen.
In the movie, the director shared his thoughts, saying, “Anyone who watches the film understands why David Corenswet embodies Superman. I had seen David in my friend Ti West’s film ‘Pearl,’ and I felt he would make a great fit for the role of Superman. It was intriguing because usually, auditions begin with self-taped submissions that actors send to our casting director, John Papsidera.
As an ardent fanboy, let me share my excitement: “I received the initial self-tapes and it was a pool of approximately 30 Supermans and 30 Loises. However, on that very first day, none other than Rachel Brosnahan read for Lois, and David Corenswet gave life to Superman. Frankly, I expected to find Lois more easily since she’s less physically constrained compared to the specific demands of Superman. But I was apprehensive about discovering the perfect Superman. Fortunately, on that first day itself, I witnessed David’s captivating performance as Superman, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
In the scene they both read, Corenswet’s voice bore a strong resemblance to Superman, as pointed out by Gunn during his explanation.
In conversation: The director commented, “One pivotal scene the actors were rehearsing involved Superman debating with Lois about his role in the world. David truly shines in this scene; you’ll be amazed by his performance when the movie is out, as he not only acts magnificently but also resembles and sounds like Superman. Interestingly enough, just like Superman, David is quite conventional off-screen, enjoying old jazz tunes and swing music.
What is Superman about?
