'It's a Dream Come True'

David Corenswet speaks to Sally James on his latest film, Superman, and his rise to superstardom

- 

Superman's cinematic appeal is timeless. This time David Corenswet is taking on the iconic role of the superhero in the upcoming DC film.

Corenswet has revealed that he exchanged letters with former Superman actors, who offered encouragement but refrained from giving advice. Previously titled Superman: Legacy, it marks the start of the new DC Universe. The film stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, promising a fresh take on the superhero’s origin.

How are you enjoying being the new Superman so far?

I'm enjoying it, but it feels a little weird, to be honest. It’s starting to feel real. It’s been a long road up to this point. So now for the film to be out there, with people seeing it makes it feel more real. But it’s exciting, and the reaction to me and everyone involved in this film has been totally overwhelming.

How did the role come to you?
