David Corenswet and James Gunn on casting of New Superman
Warner Bros. and DC Studios announced plans to revamp the DC Universe, including casting a new Superman. This decision came as a disappointment to Cavill, who had hoped for more Superman projects. David Corenswet was chosen to take over the role in a film directed by James Gunn, set to release next year.
Corenswet expressed to Entertainment Weekly, “I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman].” He added, “I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”
James Gunn previously told Variety, “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has, and be somebody who you want to give a hug.”
James Gunn directed Superman is set to release on July 11, 2025.
