Twisters' David Corenswet Landed His Superman Role During Production, And Glen Powell Shared The Story Of The Cast's Reaction: 'We Have It On Camera'

As a dedicated gamer and film enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the entertainment industry, I can’t help but feel exhilarated by the news that David Corenswet has been cast as Superman. Having recently seen him in Netflix’s “Hollywood” and this summer’s box office hit “Twisters,” I have witnessed his potential firsthand. His acting abilities shone through in those roles, leaving me eager to see what he would bring to the iconic Superman character.


David Corenswet’s career has been gradually gaining momentum. He was a major player in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix show “Hollywood,” and graced the screens as part of the star-studded cast of this summer’s blockbuster hit, “Twisters.” However, his upcoming role is set to skyrocket him to immense fame. Corenswet is slated to headline the “Superman” production, taking on the iconic character of Clark Kent himself. Reportedly, Corenswet discovered he had secured the part while filming “Twisters,” and according to his co-star Glen Powell, they captured the exciting moment on camera.

In an NME interview, Powell discussed his ongoing project Twisters and his esteemed collaborators Daisy Edgar Jones, Anthony Ramos, and David Corenswet. Notably, Corenswet has a secondary part in this catastrophe film, which could be his final low-key performance. Excitingly, Powell disclosed that Corenswet learned he would spearhead James Gunn’s Superman movie during Twisters, eliciting a joyous reaction from the entire team. Powell added:

We all got the call, and we have it on camera of us all freaking out as he told us he’s Superman.

Everyone joyfully joined in Corenswet’s enthusiasm, offering their heartfelt support without reservation. According to “Twisters” director Lee Isaac Chung, Gunn made an excellent casting decision, making the audition process a truly unique experience. Fans would no doubt be thrilled to witness the team’s jubilant reaction on video, but Powell isn’t quite ready to make it public yet. The “Hit Man” star mentioned he intends to unveil it at an opportune time, stating:

We’ll wait for the Superman release.

Fans eagerly look forward to watching the new “Superman” movie soon, as it is scheduled for release in July 2025, which is only a year away. Director James Gunn frequently updates his followers on Threads and has recently shared that the production team is nearing completion of the film. There appear to be no significant obstacles or delays that could alter the movie’s launch date. With great anticipation, fans can hardly wait to witness James Corenswet’s portrayal of Superman.

Regarding Glen Powell, there’s been buzz about his possible involvement in the new DCEU. He’s recently followed several DC creatives like “The Flash” director Andy Muschietti, as well as James Gunn and Zachary Levi on social media. This has fueled speculation about Powell joining the DC Extended Universe. With a busy schedule – filming “Huntington” in South Africa for A24 and preparing to shoot Edgar Wright’s “Running Man” in London – if he does take up the superhero role, it might be some time. Nevertheless, fans of “Twisters” would be thrilled to see David Corenswet and Glen Powell together on the big screen again in the future.

Currently showing in theaters across the country, you have the opportunity to watch two films featuring Corenswet: “Twisters,” where you can observe both stars, and “Superman,” in which he portrays the Man of Steel, slated for release on July 11, 2025.
