As a movie critic with a background in meteorology, I must say that David Corenswet’s journey from storm chaser to Superman is nothing short of awe-inspiring! The way he transformed from a corporate zombie in ‘Twisters’ to the Man of Steel is truly remarkable.
As fans of DC eagerly anticipated who would play Superman in James Gunn’s production, so did the cast members of David Corenswet from his previous film, Twisters. In 2023, it was confirmed that Corenswet would take on the role of Clark Kent in Gunn’s Superman movie. During this time, he was working on a disaster movie starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The news of Corenswet’s casting made fans ecstatic, but it seems his co-stars were even more thrilled about the announcement.
Before David Corenswet gained international fame as Superman’s alter ego, he was given an opportunity to portray a more complex character in the movie Twisters. In this film, David Corenswet plays Scott, an employee of Storm Par, a private corporation developing 3D tracking technology for storm monitoring. While Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) and Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones) show their compassionate side by assisting those affected by the twisters, Scott prioritizes the company’s technology and job security over people, often leaving them behind in the name of corporate interests.
James Gunn Reacts to the Twisters Cast Reaction Clip
Brandon Perea’s video sparked a flood of heartwarming feelings among DC fans. Although some ardent Zack Snyder supporters have already criticized and dismissed the initial image of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie, many others are excited about the Guardians of the Galaxy director’s approach for the new Superman film. The video has gone viral online, even catching the eye of Gunn himself. On Threads, James Gunn expressed his brief but positive sentiments about the Twisters cast’s celebration video for David Corenswet by reposting it and adding a simple caption:
“This is touching.”
Some people speculated about David Corenswet’s whereabouts during that video; luckily, Glen Powell, the rising star of Hollywood, clarified this mystery. In an interview for Twisters, Powell disclosed that he received a call from Corenswet moments before the video was recorded, explaining that he had been cast as Superman in James Gunn’s latest project. The reaction in the video is authentic, capturing the instantaneous response to the phone call. Powell added:
“We got the call, we all were on camera freaking out & he told us he is Superman”
David Corenswet stars alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Milly Alcock, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Nicholas Hoult, Wendell Pierce, Skylar Gisondo, and Edi Gathegi in the new series Superman. To date, none of Corenswet’s co-stars from his previous project, Twisters, have been announced for Superman or James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe. However, fans have been clamoring for Glen Powell to join the DC Universe since his supporting role in Top Gun: Maverick.
