David Corenswet Cast as Superman in James Gunn DC Reboot

News summary

David Corenswet stars as the new Superman in James Gunn's reboot of the iconic superhero franchise, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025, aiming to offer a fresh and hopeful take on the character by focusing on Clark Kent's internal conflict between his Kryptonian heritage and human upbringing. Unlike previous iterations, Gunn deliberately chose to skip retelling Superman's origin story, believing audiences are already familiar with it, and instead concentrates on character development and moral challenges. Corenswet, a Juilliard graduate with notable roles in Ryan Murphy's Netflix series, initially considered playing Superman a distant ambition, but his charisma and humor impressed Gunn during the casting process, leading to his selection. Supporting cast includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, with Hoult's role adding complexity to the film's dynamic. Beyond Superman, Corenswet has a diverse filmography worth exploring, including six notable films that showcase his range prior to this role. Off-screen, Corenswet recently appeared on The Today Show promoting Superman, adopting a relaxed style that contrasts with his on-screen Clark Kent persona.
