In a 2019 interview, SupermanLegacy actor David Corenswet said that while he loved Henry Cavill's 'dark and gritty' take on the superhero, he 'would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.'
during his casting search, “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug.”
As Corenswet himself teased back in 2019, his approach to Superman will surely differ from that of the brooding Henry Cavill. Cavill was Superman in Zack Snyder’s DC Universe, which included his Clark Kent/Superman in films “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League.” James Gunn and Peter Safran are now in charge of DC Studios and are rebooting the DC Universe around a younger Superman, which is why Corenswet is taking over the role from Cavill.
For Corenswet, “Superman: Legacy” marks the biggest project of his career thus far. The actor is best known for his supporting roles in two Ryan Murphy-created Netflix series, “The Politician” and “Hollywood.” His film roles include A24’s “Pearl” opposite Mia Goth. Joining Corenswet in “Superman: Legacy” is “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Gunn’s script focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.
