The DC universe is changing. Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot have seemingly moved on from their roles as Batman and Wonder Woman, respectively, while Henry Cavill is officially out as Superman in the DC Universe. In Cavill’s case, audiences are anxious to see who will inherit his superhero mantle in James Gunn’s upcoming reboot film.
Having starred in last year’s Oscar winning movie The Whale, Simpkins’ profile is set to raise once again as he returns to the franchise that made him famous: Insidious. As a now college-age Dalton Lambert in Insidious: The Red Door, Simpkins will battle all sorts of otherworldly ghouls and goblins, which isn’t too far off from Superman fighting extra-terrestrial beings like Metallo.
Courtney has already shown that he is a qualified actor, and he’s already starred in the kind of alien adventures that Kal-El has found himself in. He also just appeared in the upcoming film Jesus Revolution, and based on its trailer, Courtney seems to capture the wide-eyed optimism and the worldly spirit that a young Clark Kent would radiate.
This alone is proof that this up-and-coming actor can bring DC’s favorite superpowered farmboy back to cinemas in Gunn’s reboot. But more importantly, Corenswet has shown that he possesses the charm and charisma needed to play a young Superman. Hollywood has already tapped him to lead a blockbuster tentpole, Gladiator 2, so it only makes sense for Gunn to select him to inaugurate the second coming of the DC Universe. Mescal’s Superman would be more soulful than others, and would tap into the character’s pain of being an orphan and alone in the world.
