DAVID Corenswet will soon be soaring through the skies as the new Superman in director James Gunn’s upcoming movie.
Corenswet has been in plenty of movies and shows before he took on the iconic role – here’s what we know about his career before Superman.
Earlier this year, David Corenswet was part of the team that took on the forces of Mother Nature in Twisters.
Starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, the movie was a remake of the movie from the 90s, Twister.
Corenswet in the antagonistic role of Scott, a business partner of Javi (Anthony Ramos).
Scott, Kate, and Javi join up in Oklahoma, where they are hoping to take advantage of a predicted tornado outbreak.
The movie was met with positive reactions from critics and audiences, grossing $267.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $103.2 million in other territories.
While shooting Twisters, Corenswet found out he’d been cast as the new Superman, and his cast could hardly contain their excitement, seen in this clip.
Pearl, a horror film set in 1918, finds Corenswet as an unnamed projectionist who begins a relationship with an aspiring young actress named Pearl (Mia Goth).
She also happens to be a serial killer in the making.
Pearl shows Corenswet as a believable victim in the same way that Twisters showed him as a good villain.
Corenswet plays a World War II veteran who moves to Hollywood to become an actor in Ryan Murphy‘s period limited series.
The actor also recieved major Emmy buzz for his work.
Hollywood saw Corenswet lean into a hopeful and optimisitmc character that also fits Superman’s heroism.
In Gold Derby’s video interview with the actor, he admitted that he loved working on Hollywood because “You just get to feel like there’s hope for the future.
“You get to cheer [the characters] on to their happy ending.”
In the recent Apple TV+ limited series, a bearded Corenswet plays Allan Durst, the bereaved father of a young girl who is killed.
He stars in the show with acclaimed actress Natalie Portman.
In one stand-out scene, he angrily confronts Natalie Portman‘s journalist character, Maddie Schwartz, at a Hanukkah party and suggests that she’s using the death of his daughter to sell newspapers.
