Former Supermen Endorse Corenswet, DCU Eyes Robin

David Corenswet, set to debut as Superman in James Gunn’s film releasing July 11, 2025, has received warm encouragement from former Superman actors Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, who advised him to enjoy the role rather than offering specific guidance. Corenswet described their supportive letters as embodying the spirit of Superman and expressed appreciation for their positive approach. He also shared his excitement about the new DC Universe’s plans to feature Batman and Robin, specifically Damian Wayne, and possibly introduce Jonathan Kent, Superman and Lois Lane’s son. This comes amid a significant DC Universe reboot, as Corenswet steps in following Cavill’s and Hoechlin’s recent, sometimes abrupt, departures. Despite the upheaval, the transition has been marked by mutual respect and optimism among the actors. Corenswet embraces the responsibility of the role and looks forward to contributing to the evolving legacy of Superman.
