Overview

• Superman, starring David Corenswet, has opened in cinemas across Germany and the US as the first installment of James Gunn’s DC Universe reboot.
• Corenswet, the eleventh actor to portray Superman, described his casting as a moment of relief and peace akin to an astronaut preparing for a moon mission.
• He felt a solemn sense of responsibility upon receiving the role and did not host a major celebration.
• Ahead of his audition, Corenswet watched the first films of his predecessors, including Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill, to immerse himself in the character.
• Corenswet emphasized that once production began, his focus shifted to understanding Gunn’s script and visual designs to shape his interpretation of Clark Kent and Superman.
