David Corenswet throws on a beige suit and blue bowtie for the Toronto International Film Festival on behalf of 'Pearl'. The actor looked dapper as he had his hair pushed back to finish his formal look.
Superman star David Corenswet embodied the Man of Steel as he was seen on set in the iconic suit for filming of new movie, Supeman on Monday.
Superman: Legacy will be released on July 11, 2025 and is described as about Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The other actors battling it out for the Superman role were British stars Tom Brittney and Nicholas Hoult, while Phoebe Dynevor and Emma Mackey were pipped at the post to the role of Lois.
The actor, 30, whose role was announced earlier this year , showcased his muscular physique and ripped arms as he donned the blue and red suit, complete with cape - while also revealing the new superhero logoCavill, who was widely expected to return as the man of steel after appearing in a credits teaser for Black Adam in October, announced the 'sad news' that Gunn and Safran did not plan to bring him back in December.
'I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and happiest of fortunes,' he added. 'But then we must remember.... Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there!' Cavill said. Cavill's shock announcement in December that he would 'not be returning as Superman' was one of many signs that Gunn and Safran planned major shakeups to the DC franchise.
Safran has produced many films for Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, including Gunn's The Suicide Squad as well as Aquaman, Shazam and the horror films in The Conjuring universe. The first phase of the DCU will launch after several inherited projects that are set to debut in the next two years - including The Flash, with Ezra Miller, which Gunn said 'resets the entire DC Universe'.The very first actor to sport the iconic Superman emblem in a live-action movie was Kirk Alyn in 1948's Superman.
As is common for stars connected to the Superman universe, Kirk also made a cameo appearance years later - playing Lois Lane's father alongside Noel as her mother in 1978's Superman, starring Christopher Reeve. Blame: Kirk was hired by Columbia Pictures because he resembled Clark Kent but later blamed his success as the character and his superhero alter-ego for ruining his acting careerGeorge Reeves then took over as the Son of Krypton in 1951's independent film Superman and the Mole Men.
Star: George Reeves took over as the Son of Krypton in 1951's film Superman and the Mole Men and reprised his role for the first Superman TV series, titled Adventures of Superman Beloved: Next to wear the iconic cape was Christopher Reeve, who took on the role in Richard Donner's iconic 1978 movie, titled Superman: The Movie
By 2000, he had regained some movement and sensation in his body and could feel when his wife Dana or his children - William, Alexandra and Matthew - embraced him. However, American actor John only appeared as Clark Kent in the show's first season before he was replaced by Gerard Christopher. Although he was chosen by the casting director, when producers discovered he had played a version of the character before, he was dismissed.So it was Dean Cain who ended up taking on the role of Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Dean, now 56, rejoined the DC universe between 2015 and 2017 on Supergirl, where he played Kara Danvers/Supergirl's father Jeremiah Danvers. Emblem: He played the role of Clark Kent and his alter-ego Superman alongside Teri Hatcher, who played Lois Lane, in the show, which ran from 1993 until 1997Tom Welling spent ten years playing a teenage Clark Kent on Smallville, which ran for ten series and 217 episodes from 2001 until 2011.
Younger version: Tom Welling spent ten years playing a teenage Clark Kent on Smallville, which ran for ten series and 217 episodes from 2001 until 2011'We literally had a sit down where we talked about the show and I asked about the suit and the tights and the flying, and they said, 'No, absolutely not,' part of the reason being is that show is about a teenager trying to figure out who he is.
The star, now 43, starred alongside Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane for the Superman revival, only appearing as the Son of Krypton for one movie instalment. He said: 'I was aware of the great legacy, not only of Superman, but also of Christopher Reeve. He's the one that made me love Superman, watching him perform.
In 2016, Jude Law revealed that he turned down the chance to star as the titular character, making way for Brandon in Superman Returns. The CW then finally gave the green light to his Superman & Lois series, which came to screens in February 2021.On-screen family: He stars alongside Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, with Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin playing their on-screen sons Jonathan and Jordan Kent
Big break: Henry Cavill made his foray into the Superman universe in 2013's Man of Steel and proved popular with longtime fans of the franchise Return: The actor returned to the role once again in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, and the much-maligned 2017 Justice League
'I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and happiest of fortunes,' he added.
