Glen Powell Got Famous Just Before David Corenswet. The Actor Fondly Remembers Walking The Streets With The Newly-Minted Top Gun: Maverick Star

Following his roles in films such as “Twisters” and “Top Gun: Maverick”, Glen Powell gained widespread recognition, a recognition that had been a long time coming for him, having worked diligently for years before ascending to the role of a leading man in Hollywood. David Corenswet, the new Superman actor, is swiftly gaining attention for his role, and now, Corenswet is discussing his friendship with Powell, finding it peculiar spending time with Powell shortly after he became famous.

In an interview with Time Magazine, Corenswet discussed his experience working on James Gunn’s Superman project and the path to landing the role. Following the film’s release, his persona will likely be forever linked with the legendary character – a realization he shares. He likened it to spending time with Glen Powell post-Top Gun: Maverick. During a lacrosse final, Powell was staying at Corenswet’s place, and the stadium crowd would shout “Hangman” at him.

Following the debut of “Superman”, Corenswet envisioned a fame akin to it, as his visage would be synonymous with his character instead of his personal name. However, during this Powell gathering, Corenswet remained unrecognized for his past work in “The Politician” or “Hollywood”. Yet, he was certain that this anonymity was temporary and change was imminent. He expressed:

As someone named David Corenswet, it might take some time for folks to call out my name in the bustle of the streets… but “Superman!” seems to provide a handy shortcut.

In a short while, it’s likely that “David Corenswet” will be receiving acclaim similar to Superman, as he is set to star in a John Tuggle biopic titled “Mr. Irrelevant,” directed by Jonathan Levine. For years, Glen Powell has been associated with his role in “Hangman,” but now simply goes by “Glen Powell.” Given the positive reviews he’s received for Superman, I predict that Corenswet will soon receive the same level of recognition.

As a film enthusiast, it’s not just their iconic characters that bind Corenswet and Powell, but their shared journey in the industry. Powell garnered attention slightly before Corenswet’s breakthrough moment. We were part of the same cast in “Twisters,” and when news broke about Corenswet landing the Superman role, Powell shared his joy with the entire “Twisters” crew, a moment we captured on video. It’s heartening to see them supporting each other as their stardom grows. I eagerly look forward to seeing them collaborate again and hope these casual hangouts continue even as our names become synonymous with greatness in the industry.

In theaters across the country, you can catch David Corenswet in the movie “Superman.” If you’re an Amazon Prime Video subscriber, you can also watch him alongside Glen Powell in the series “Twisters,” which is now streaming.
