David Corenswet, who stars as the eponymous hero in the upcoming reboot of the same name, also told of the experience of making the character “his own”, at a red carpet event in Leicester Square on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old, who has the dual role of Clark Kent and his Kryptonian alter-ego, said: “You can't help but make it your own.

“I wish I could just give the great performances that have come before, but I couldn't help but do my own thing.

“So much of (the history) is already in the character and people's knowledge and love of the character.
