David Corenswet's SUPERMAN Audition Tape Features Alternate Version Of Lois Lane Interview Scene

Overview

  • 21 Casting uploaded the three-minute video to YouTube, making previously private casting footage publicly available.
  • Corenswet performs the interview scene with his wife, Julia Best Warner, reading Lois Lane’s lines, using early dialogue that differs from the film and ending with Lois’ silent treatment as Clark prepares to leave.
  • The clip spread widely across social platforms, drawing praise for a measured performance and prompting debate over how it compares with James Gunn’s final cut.
  • Viewers noted the actor’s lean, pre-bulk appearance, aligning with reports that he later added about 40 pounds under trainer Paolo Mascitti to embody the role.
  • The release builds on recent behind-the-scenes material from the digital rollout, including a now-resolved on-set disagreement between Gunn and Corenswet over an emotional scene.
