David Corenswet will be the next Superman in the DCU, but in the past he has already had the opportunity to approach James Gunn as he was interested in a role for Marvel Studios: which one?
The name of David Corenswet has been associated with the DC universe, as the new interpreter of Superman in the era being launched led by James Gunn And Peter Safran. The actor, however, had already expressed his interest in a universe of superheroes in the past, attempting an audition for Marvel Studios which actually allowed him to already cross paths with James Gunn.
Superman, David Corenswet was interested in a role in Guardians of the Galaxy
To date, David Corenswet is busy on the DC set filming Superman, a project that will concretely launch the new DCU led by James Gunn. Before getting the role of Clark KentDavid Corenswet had already demonstrated his talent in films such as Parallel lines on Netflix, Pearl and the next one coming Twisters. On the television side, however, she starred in Instinct, House of Cards – The intrigues of power, The Politician And Hollywood. In Superman, he will play the protagonist opposite Rachel Brosnahan. It was James Gunn himself who communicated the casting of both protagonists via a post via Threads. Even before Superman, however, the director had the opportunity to meet David Corenswet because he was interested in another project, this time at Marvel. Gunn, in fact, accompanied the trilogy of Guardians of the Galaxy since 2014. The last chapter, the Vol. 3was released theatrically during 2023 and introduced the character of Adam Warlock assigned to Will Poulter and who, during the audition phase, piqued the interest of David Corenswet. A detail brought to light by a fan via Threads and which James Gunn would have no memory of.
I asked him, he confirmed that he had done that audition and I believe him, but I don’t remember it.
Furthermore, the fan in question took advantage of the post to ask the director if they will use the same ones in Superman visual effects by Adam Warlock in the process of flight.
And no, what we’re doing now for flight is much more complex than what was done for Adam Warlock.
