Announced: David Corenswet superman. After Netflix fame, David Corenswet will be playing as superman: Rachel Brosnaha and David Corenswet are going to play the lead roles in James Gunn’s film.

Both Henry Cavill and David Corenswet look strikingly similar in their roles as Superman. However, Henry Cavill remains in the film.

Who is David Corenswet Superman?

David Corenswet is an American actor best known for his role as River Barkley in the Netflix series “The Politician.” He was born on July 8, 1993, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Corenswet graduated from Juilliard School’s Drama Division in 2016. Besides “The Politician,” he has appeared in other projects such as “House of Cards” and “The Tap.” Please note that my knowledge is up to September 2021, so there may have been developments in Corenswet’s career since then.

David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are James Gunn’s new Superman and Lois Lane. The casting was announced via Twitter on Tuesday, and a Warner Bros. spokesman and the co-chair of DC Studios, who is also writing and directing “Superman: Legacy” for July 2025,

James Gunn’s film “Superman: Legacy” is scheduled to release in 2025

James Gunn is an American filmmaker, writer, and director. He was born on August 5, 1966, in St. Louis, Missouri. Gunn gained prominence for his work in the realm of superhero films. He wrote and directed the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014) and its sequel “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” (2017). These films were highly successful, blending action, humor, and a diverse ensemble cast.

However, Gunn faced some controversy in 2018 when old controversial tweets resurfaced, leading to his temporary dismissal from directing the third “Guardians of the Galaxy” film. Despite this setback, he was eventually reinstated by Disney and is currently working on “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which is set to be released in 2023.

In addition to his work in the MCU, Gunn wrote and directed the dark superhero film “Super” (2010) and the horror-comedy film “Slither” (2006). He also directed and co-wrote the DC Extended Universe film “The Suicide Squad” (2021), a standalone sequel/reboot of the 2016 film “Suicide Squad.”
