Supermanis one of the biggest and highly anticipated projects from James Gunn’s DC Studios and this is David Corenswet’s most important work in his career. The role is a legacy passed down from generations of actors, and now that it is his turn, he will certainly bring his own twist to it.
Even thoughSupermanis a massive franchise globally loved by fans, it still needs to be enjoyable for the actor to watch. It’s not uncommon for celebrities to dislike the works they have done in the past, so this is a challenge to both Corenswet and Gunn.

David Corenswetwill be portraying Clark Kent/Superman inJames Gunn’s upcoming movie, but before this, he already starred in one of the most interesting low-budget A24 films calledPearl(2022). It starredMia Gothand was helmed byTi West.
The actor played the Projectionist who took a liking on Goth’s character. Corenswet revealed in an interview withManly Things (sort of) Podcastthat he truly liked the movie.
That was a film that I watched and purely as an audience member… it was pretty f—king cool.
Many actors are very critical of their works and so it is not strange that some of them despise their own performances. Corenswet’s role in the horror movie had so much nuance that it satisfied him as an actor and viewer.
Even though the film wasn’t of the same magnitude asSuperman, it delivered a narrative that was both compelling and thought-provoking. Viewers love a good combination of excitement and complexity, and ifPearlwas able to scratch that itch, thenSupermanwould have to give his best shot.
