Most of the world might know David Corenswet as the man who stole Henry Cavill’s DC thunder. However, with the actor beefing up for his role in Superman: Legacy, he proved to be a rather perfect choice for the iconic character. The 31-year-old may have had a score to settle with the fans after they voiced their concerns about his physique. But it looks like the young star had more reasons to go out of his way and bulk up.

In fact, long before Corenswet had been thrown into the storm that was Cavill’s booting from the Man of Steel role, he had already had a rather harsh past experience that had ended up sticking with him through the years.

Since it was announced that David Corenswet would be playing the role of Superman, fans can’t help but be excited. While they are trying to hold onto the past with Henry Cavill’s version, they cannot help but accept that things are beginning to change, and who better to lead it than someone as talented as Corenswet?
However, before it was announced that he got the role, two other actors were running for the role; Tom Brittney and Nicholas Hoult. Although DC and James Gunn made an excellent decision when they decided to go for Corenswet, there is no denying that the days leading up to the reveal were quite straining for both the fans and those involved.

Henry Cavill can continue to insist that he’s still the Man of Steel all he wants, but it seems like Warner Bros. is ready to move on. The studio is currently compiling a list of actors they want to take over the role and according to our sources – the same ones who said J.J. Abrams had been offered a Green Lantern and/or Superman movie months ago, which Variety confirmed the other day – one of the names being discussed is David Corenswet.
The 26-year-old has risen to fame recently due to his performance in Netflix’s The Politician. He’s also appeared in House of Cards, Elementary, Instinct and Affairs of State. Portraying Clark Kent on the big screen would inevitably launch the young actor into stardom though, if Warner Bros. does decide to go with him instead of the other options.
Despite being ranked as the best Superman of all-time by many,...
