James Gunn recently talked about his upcoming Superman movie and how fans are going to love what David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan bring to Superman and Lois Lane in the film. He especially hypes up Corenswet, saying:
“The movie is going extraordinarily well. We’re deep in the process of editing. David Corenswet is going to blow people the fuck away.
“He is the movie star that everyone just dreams he could possibly be. And I don’t think anyone really understands the depth of this guy’s talent, dramatically, comedically, he’s the best physical action star I’ve probably ever worked with…
“He’s an amazing actor, and Rachel Brosnahan, people are going to die for her as well.”
Well, I hope he’s right! I’ve watched a couple of things with Corenswet since he was cast in the role of Superman, the most recent film being Twisters, but he was pretty one-dimensional and monotone in that. But, Gunn obviously got a much better performance out of him for Superman.
Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
“He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
We’ve also heard that the movie “a complete shift to hardcore sci-fi and fantasy, the exact opposite of Man of Steel.
“It’s set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we’ll see how it affected this world’s history and has shaped the DCU.”
Superman stars Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio, as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.
Superman will launch the movie part of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
