David Korenswt could have rejected everything: paper, pressure, sudden notoriety. He had even made a list of the reasons why he could not accept this proposal. For which I should not. Taking the characteristics of Superman, in the 2025 version of director James Gunn, is not obvious to the 31 -year -old American actor.
Playing Clark Kent / Kal -he wears a suit that adheres to his skin, in the literal sense, as well as figuratively. The appearance of the superhero, David Korenswet already had it: his appearance of steel, his curly brown hair and the construction of his athlete gave him the air of an ideal son -in -law. Despite a successful cast, which the director won, the 31 -year -old American actor felt vertigo.
“You might think that it is the goal of any actor to win a role like Superman’s, but it is not true, he explains to GQ. Some could reject this role, if we give them the opportunity. Obviously I am not one of these people. But I tried to find reasons not to do so.”
This list is a handwritten letter that directs the director of the last opus of Superman and CO -PDG of DC Studios: film franchise that presents the heroes of the DC comics. Details the arguments for which interpreting the Iron Man would be a bad idea for his career.
Accustomed to support roles
At first glance, this thought seems strange. With Superman (2025), David Korenswet finally has the opportunity to play a first role in its peak; The one who is well used to giving the answer to the main character.
But is not the actor the guy who fades for the sake of a film? Of course, he aspires to a sober life. After living a few years in Los Angeles, the 30 years preferred to flee the Hollywood district and his life loved by a city in the suburbs of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania. Where he was born, where he grew up. And where his family has since founded.
“I am quite introverted, I like tranquility,” he says. Born on July 8, 1993, David Korenswet was presented to the game under the influence of his father, a former actor turned into a lawyer, for the election of reason. Child, participated in several pieces such as They were all my children By Arthur Miller in 2002 or Macbeth of Shakespeare in 2003.
Continuing with the fate of Paternal’s dreams, he studied at the prestigious Jullyard school in New York that graduated in dramatic arts in 2016. During this period, multiply projects: short films Following Chase What co -written, In the web series Moe and Jerryweather that produces and realizes his friend Adam Landon.
When David Cornewet wins his first main role in State Affairs By Eric Bross (2018), does not reach the visibility that no actor would like to obtain for his first important role. It should be admitted that the premium video function is still relatively confidential …
Superman, an obsolete hero
It was the following year, in the series The politician By Ryan Murphy distributed in Netflix, that the young man is announced to the general public. Then he took the characteristics of River Barkley, a solar student, candidate for the presidency of the Student Council of his High School, fighting against depressed episodes.
Then he continued his career along with the director of Joy Co -producing and participating in the Netflix miniseries HollywoodUtopian rewriting of the golden age of American cinema. We also find it in the series We own this city Produced by David Simon, who also signed The wire. Inspired by Justin Fenton’s homonymous book, a journalist of Baltimore Sun, the work It represents a police unit that fights street crime with Ripoux’s methods.
From support to the support role, David Korenswet offers notable actions without printing in the eyes of the general public. Put on Superman’s place, a very soft obsolete hero, therefore, it looks like a double tranche option: how to continue a race when your name and appearance remain attached to that of the superhero?
“Maybe nobody recognizes me […]Come on, with malice, with GQ. And if it were the only role I had to play for the rest of my life, whether one or ten times, would you still say yes? The answer is yes. “
After Henry Cavill’s performance, Christopher Reeves or Kirk Alyn, the entire challenge for David Korenswet will be to reinvent his Superman him. In this new part, the actor tries to humanize the character more, making him lighter and more fun and trusting the complicity and tension established between Rachel Brosnahan (unforgettable heroine of Fabulosa Madame Maeel), who plays the role of Lane, and he laws.
It only remains to wait for public reception. The success of this film goes beyond the simple career of David Korenswet. From its success, it depends, in fact, the continuation of feature films and series of the DC Comics franchise. If director James Gunn wanted to relieve this issue in several interviews: “There is no reason to make boxes like that,” the last Superman is part of this context. Not to mention the expectations of certain fans, already nostalgic for the era of Henry Cavill, and who would have liked the LEOTARD and the stockings of Superman. The promise is immense, therefore. The pressure too.
