New fan art is making the case for David Corenswet to play Clark Kent in the upcoming Superman reboot from writer James Gunn. While Henry Cavill reprised the role for a special appearance in Black Adam, meant to tease several more films to feature this version of the Man of Steel, those plans were tossed when Gunn was hired to steer the ship of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. Gunn has since confirmed his new plans to reboot the character for the DCU, and he’s looking to cast a younger actor in the role.
Of course, this has led to fans doing fantasy casting online, picking their favorite choices for actors who’d be good at playing a younger incarnation of Superman. Digital artist horrific.heroics on Instagram has been deadset on seeing David Corenswet in the role, crafting up some new artwork imagining how that might appear.
“If we can’t have Henry Cavill then my mind is set, David Corenswet IS Superman,” the artist notes in the caption. “The man has the acting chops, the look and can build up his physique to be a bit more super!
While there’s plenty actors who could take the role such as Wolfgang Novogratz, I personally think David is the best contender to take up the mantle moving forward.”
