Lee Isaac Chung says David Corenswet is up for the challenge.
Superman's David Corenswet got some lovely praise from Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung . The filmmaker stopped by the Inside Total Film podcast to talk up his disaster blockbuster. In Twisters , Corenswet is an antagonist. But, next summer James Gunn will show off the actor as the new Man of Steel. A lot is riding on that movie and Corenswet follows a popular name in that blue spandex.
"So, David was going out for that role when we were filming. I remember, we were all really secretly rooting for him," Chung told the podcast."When we found out he was on a shortlist, a lot of us were saying, 'You know, he actually would be a great Superman. He is such an imposing and big presence. Larger than life. But, there's this genuine purity to him that I feel fits in a lot with Superman.
"I remember the when he came back from auditions in Los Angeles. He came back to set and he was still carrying himself that Superman to us," the director added."He's someone who stays within the role a little bit. I'm not saying he's method. But, he kind of takes on that aura a bit… When he came back from that audition, I remember feeling that he must have got it. It was this weird sense I had that he just looked the part and felt the part.
Superman Sees David Corenswet Become The Man Of SteelIf you are a little impatient for a larger reveal of Superman, social media has been buzzing about James Gunn's big DC movie for weeks now. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has had images of Corenswet in a bright blue costume take me to the skies and helping the people of Metropolis. The director has largely let these leaks go because they do provide a window into what they're building for the DC universe now.
