The Superman teaser trailer has been released, and it gives audiences a taste of what to expect from DC Studios and James Gunn's upcoming superhero film. There are many things to digest from the trailer including the many superheroes and villains and the iconic John Williams theme.
During the Superman Teaser Trailer Preview on Monday at Warner Bros. Studios, I had the chance to chat with David Corenswet, who is tasked with portraying the Man of Steel.
"It's certainly ****ing crazy," David Corenswet told me about his journey from Netflix's Hollywood to DC Studios' Superman. "I mean unexpected. Hard to believe still. Hollywood was such a great experience, like such a great crew and cast and everything."
The actor knows how much the DC hero means to a lot of people, and he's not taking his role lightly.
"I thought, 'Well, how could it possibly get better than this?'" Corenswet continued. "And then James brought together such a great crew of people and a cast of actors that I had the same experience of like how can it be this good and also on how it's such an amazing film. Something that's going to be seen by so many people and it means so much to so many people."
Corenswet comes from a long line of actors who have portrayed the DC icon including George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill and more.
