David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are new Superman and Lois Lane

I may have given this a shot with Emma Mackey… but Brosnahan just proves he wants to recreate Margot Kidder’s performance

Seriously m fuck James Gunn

Emma Mackey trending on Twitter now

Young people LIKE Emma Mackey. They watched her show. No one under 30 watched Mrs Maisel. Huge, huge mistake.

Additionally, Corenswet looks SO MUCH like Henry Cavill

If you want to make something different, the. MAKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

Corenswet needs to show dong for me to take him seriously.

R4: No dong (yet) but if you're interested he does show his ass briefly in a film called Affairs of State.

She is so boring and plain.

Also, this is why you NEVER make these auditions public horseraces! Ever! I remember when they announced Amy Adams, it was without any of this nonsense. Now people are going to compare RB to the actress who didn’t get the role.

Yes, huge mistake to choose a talented emmy award winning actor r2 because some kids on social media wanted their favorite.

Hon, what matters is who actually has the talent. Brosnahan will kill this role, honestly she is too good for this shit but Superhero movies are what you have to do.

Clearly his looks and not his non-existent acting skills in that flop Hollywood miniseries are what won him the role. Pretty bold move to cast him considering he's only done small or shitty films as well as that one lead Ryan Murphy role project.

David Corenswet did not impress me much in Hollywood. Though really to play Superman you don't need to be a great actor so that's fine.

I think she's a good actress but gets a lot of hate because Midge is so unlikable and unfunny.

Brosnahan is a good actress but she is so similar to Margot Kidder she will never compare favorably to her as Lois. That’s why Bryan Singer didn’t even bother trying to when he cast Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns which was a sequel to the Donner films.

Corenswet called “Walmart Henry Cavill.”

The real question is will this movie be any good. The cold truth is Superman is a boring character. He has no real personality, he is too powerful for good dramatic tension, and his backstory as an alien refugee but don't worry looks exactly human is pretty dumb.

Never heard of these people.

I liked Corenswet in Pearl, that horror movie with Mia Goth

I mean seriously he looks exactly like him. Why would you cast someone who looks exactly like the previous Superman? God help me if Corenswet has Aspergers too.

Another closet actor plays superman

Froy should be Jimmy Olsen.

I always look forward to Gunn's films, this one is no different for me

Serious question ..is David bi, gay or just boring straight??

R20 you know very well who Jimmi Olsen will be now.

What the hell do you want Superman to look like r18? Clint Howard?

R22 I would vote straight simply based on the astronomical odds that both these unrelated men who look exactly alike would also both be queer

And honestly, fuck her for working with Gunn after this.

Corenswet tries to keep it off social media but he married his long term girlfriend earlier this year r22.

David may be straight, but Ryan Murphy made him kiss Ben Platt in "The Politician." I thought David did well in that series, but he didn't have much screen time.

Corenshwet and Broshnahan. That'sh a lot of shyllablesh.

They'll be a shpectacular Shuperman and Loish Lane!

I don’t watch Maisel regularly but after seeing The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window she and Oscar Isaac were rightfully snubbed.

Rachel Brosnahan is not Jewish.

No ya think?

Are you going to tell me Saorise Ronan isn’t Jewish too?

Do we really need another Clark and Lois?

I'm already looking forward to the next reboot, after this one! Who knows what unplumbed depths are waiting to be explored!

No one cares. DC and Warner Bros are dead and James Gunn is a hack.

Grumble. I’m still salty about Henry Cavill losing the role, but this is inspired casting. David Corenswet is beautiful and I was quite smitten with him in The Politician. And Rachel is brilliant in Mrs Maisel - she’s perfect for Lois.

I agree r15. Like others mentioned in the movies, the only way for Superman to be interesting on Earth is for him to destroy his home, Metropolis. Makes one wonder if he's a benefit or hindrance to the city.

A way to make Superman work is to place him on another planet, make up a reason, where his powers can be drawn down. This would match with some Comic Adventures and allow the character to start off at a disadvantage.

Of course, they will just make another boring storing in Metropolis or saving the Earth.

I’m so excited I could fart and forget all about it

[quote]James Gunn Taps David Corenswet

Pics please!

Bud Light is shaking their heads at WB...

At least he's not British

In all seriousness…

Dylan Mulaney as Minnie Castavet?

Why would WB want this kind of baggage on Day One? Seriously?

Rachel will be a great Lois. I think the only thing I’ve seen Corenswet in is The Politican.

Interestingly, the age difference between Brosnahan and Corenswet is about the same as the difference between Reeve and Kidder. Both actresses are about 4 years older than their Supermen.

Amy Adams is 8 years older than Henry Cavill.

It is a trend in casting. In general it feels right that Lois should be older than Clark. She is supposed to already be a established reporter when Clark is starting out on the job.

That awkward moment when WB finds Toby is on Rachels résumé. Bud Light is celebrating having another corporation taking the heat off of them.

R47 seems true. Also Bitsie Tulloch is 7 years older than Tyler Hoechlin and Terri Hatcher is 2 years older than Dean Cain.

R8 most people hated Amy Adams being cast. Henry Cavill also. Amy is a red head and there were numerous complaints about them keeping her a ginger as Lois, and fans HATED them casting someone who isn’t American as Superman.

[quote]Additionally, Corenswet looks SO MUCH like Henry Cavill

LOL - you do realize most of the guys who've been cast as Superman look similar because, you know, they're supposed to be Superman.

R29 Oh God, that's an even worse matchup than Darren Criss and Chris Colfer.

[quote] fans HATED them casting someone who isn’t American as Superman.

Superman is Canadian.

I don’t know if this film was necessary but this guy is 30 times better looking than Chalamet so he’s a welcome relief and a nice fresh face for a change.

Henry Cavill is Walmart Henry Cavill

This is going to flop massively. Gunn has no idea what he’s doing.

I like David Corenswet. I think he's handsome and a decent actor in the limited roles I've seen of him. I will like Corenswet even more if he puts on 20 lbs of muscle and gets a Superman body.

But, here we go again. It's not Corenswet's fault that DC or Gunn decided not to stay with Cavill. Attacking him for that is patently unfair. People weren't all that excited about Cavill either and definitely not excited about him in The Witcher.

His last name is terrible and he should really change it.

R18 are you stupid? All actors cast as Superman have similar looks. They’re supposed to

R26 is there any proof Gunn did anything?

I guess that unemployed soap actors hard campaign didn’t work. Lmao.

I’m assuming Corenswet is of German-Jewish extraction and should be pronounced CorenSVET.

Yes he should have changed it to David Corinth or something but he’s Old Money and you know how they are.

Hopefully his career doesn’t follow the trajectories of Routh and Cavill.

Henry Cavill’s asking price is north of ten million.

Some downward trajectory.

he really gunna be superman ??? HE DAMN HOT....YAY

David is beautiful. Perfect casting.

No one cares about Lois.

I think he should change his name to Ballswet.

I wonder if the choice of cereal was a Freudian slip

(From Twitter)

Is Rachel MTF? They are going to need a wide angle camera for that protruding chin.

My favorite one is “Henry Cavill from Shein.”

Cavill asked for too much money?

Awful last name. Corn sweat, is it?

How is he old money?

Don’t know anything about this guy.

He’s from a prominent New Orleans family.

Eager to see him as a hot fun superman !!!!

[quote]Superman is Canadian.

Superman was created by writer Jerry Siegel (American) and Joe Shuster (Canadian-born).

When Shuster was a child, his family moved to Ohio, where he met/befriended Siegel.

At any rate, Superman is supposed to be from the Midwest (i.e., All-American).

His ship landed in a fictional Kansas town called Smallville and was raised there by the Kents.

Forgot to mention, Shuster was the artist.

R18 Corenswet looks like a more polished version of Cavill.

This is David Corenswet's grandfather. He is not a Vanderbilt, but his family was certainly part of high class New Orleans society.

Though David's father moved to Philadelphia which is where David was raised.

Corenswet is a high-society rich kid with minimal acting skills, but he is hot. He was dull as dishwater in "Pearl", and was outacted by Mia Goth by leaps and bounds. The best thing about him in that movie was how fuckable his ass looked in slacks with suspenders. His murder scene in the film was great, but only because of her.

You cast Superman based on the look, and then you surround him with people who can actually act and make entertaining characters to carry the movie. Supes himself is boring anyway. You just need someone who is a wholesome seeming blank slate with the right look.

Lois and Supergirl. This is going to be awesome!! I could see Dylan and Rachel both winning Oscars if this is done correctly.

Will this Superman be made for television?

Is it true John Travolta is up for the Jor-El role?

If Hollywood weren’t so racist, ageist, and sexist, the logical choice would have been Viola Davis.

R4 he also needs to present hole. I need to see both to make an informed decision.

I wonder if they're going to do another origin story. Really hope not.

If we are being honest, Rachel looks years older than Corenswet.

Is this guy Superman or Superman's gay son they don't want to talk about

It looks like Superman has just heard Padam Padam.

Isn’t Clark going to be in his early 20’s? I read that somewhere.

So hopefully no origins story.

Besides, his teen years have already been covered.

Which lucky producer got the ass?

[quote] He’s from a prominent New Orleans family.

Well I've never heard that name before.

Fuuuuuuuuck. I was team Mackey, too.

Oh well, just another DC movie I won’t watch.

I hope they won't bulk David up the way they did Henry. He (Henry) was the handsomest man on earth in The Borgias and The Count of Monte Cristo. And then he got blown up into a Michelin Man.

The Maisel-Mulvaney connection is going to blow up in 3…2…1.

Mackey was the one. James Gunn is clueless and I’m here for the “implosion.”

[quote] I hope they won't bulk David up

Have you ever seen Superman ?

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

R95 and R97 Anthony Mackey as Superman/Clark Kent? 🤨🤔

He would never have been considered because he’s 37

But if you watch the Oliver Jackson Cohen/Emma Mackey junket interviews, this is Lois and Clark

I honestly think his body looks big enough here and this picture is a couple of years old

His parents are both lawyers.

And that's all because of alien superpowers r98, there is no real reason Superman needs to look muscled over than people like portraying him that way because it looks cooler. His strength has nothing to do with physical muscles.

But they will bump him full of roids and HGH because that is what audiences expect. I'm sure he has already starting that process.

The downside of Corenswet’s casting is that he looks so similar to Cavill that people are going to be comparing their bodies side to side. So Corenswet is going to pump himself full of hormones.

Unfortunately, Cavill was a true endomorph. Broad, broad shoulders, very short arms. This made is pectorals, biceps and lats seem even more massive than they are in real life. Corenswet will NEVER look like this. He has a natural swimmer’s build. Very long limbs, downward sloping shoulders. It won’t look right.

Of the three finalists, only Tom Brittney had the correct build to put on Superman muscle.

Fuck, look at those shoulders.

Superman needs to have the body of someone who looks like they can pick up and rescue you from a burning building.

Corenswet has glamour muscles.

He’d make a good Narcissus.

Rachel really wants that A list movie career.

Another Superman movie? People are getting tired of seeing the same damn superheroes all the time. Also, I'm surprised DC hasn't attempted to adapt Static Shock since Black Panther has been a huge success for Marvel.

LOL at the pissed off Anglophile, un-American DLers like R100 and R105.

Most real Americans want an actual American to play Superman -- just like the Brits always want a Brit to play James Bond.

Real Americans? I hope you mean the First Nations.

As noted on the other thread:

She's a fourth-generation degraded Xerox of Margot Kidder.

If they were going to go this direction—evoking the original films—they could have gotten a hotter Superman.

Matt Bomer would be good and yes he's middle aged but he looks so young. I guess people would complain he's gay. I wish Brandon Routh had a better film to work with. I do think Hollywood is very lazy. There are so many talented young guys who work in theatre all around the country. Why can't they recruit talent like they used to? It's like they just hire someone with connections rather than take a risk anymore.

Also it's interesting thst people do not know Superman is coded as Jewish and fits a lot of Messianic traits.

Matt Bomer looks exactly his age, which is not a complement considering how much he spends on maintenance.

[quote] Also it's interesting thst people do not know Superman is coded as Jewish and fits a lot of Messianic traits.

The archetype transcends Judeo-Christian tradition (Hercules, for example).

Regardless, Bomer has a more accurate look for the role. Unless they're trying to make an unconventional Superman like they did with Pattinson as Batman.

Bomer is 5’11” and that includes his gigantic head. He has a very compact frame. He doesn’t look like he can pick you up and carry you and fly you away.

Why are people taking about 45 year old Bomer? His time has past, he was almost cast back for Superman Returns but he lost out to Brandon Routh. He has aged out of consideration a long time ago.

Superman needs to be hot. Corenswet does nothing, zero for me in the looks department. Was he just chosen because he's dark haired with blue eyes? All the other Supes actors were hot.

No that was Superman Flyby (never made)

[quote]Superman needs to be hot. Corenswet does nothing, zero for me in the looks department.

Whereas some of us, myself included, find him supremely attractive. I could hardly wait for each of his scenes in We Own This City. I wished he'd played the lead instead of profoundly "zero for me in the looks department" Jon Bernthal.

Everyone’s tastes are different but most people are going to find David Corenswet attractive.

R120: His neck is too skinny.

Peacocks have skinny necks!

And they shriek!

And they attack chickens!

Corenswet is goodlooking but I just don't feel anything looking at pictures. I didn't know who he was until this thread. But so far his looks don't really impress me much. He just looks like a cute geek, not a strapping hunk or anything. Maybe he looks better in movement. But like I said, if DC can make it work, we'll just see how he fills the suit. He does look like Cavill.

The first thing I thought of with Corenswet's casting is that he doesn't have black hair. I think of Superman as having really black hair. They'll dye Corenswet's hair, of course, but I think it'll look a little odd. But not as odd as if Superman had brown hair!

I agree with R100 that Emma Mackey would have made a good Lois, but Rachel is great and has real comic timing, which Lois needs. She's the better actress of the two, though they're both talented.

But I agree with the other posters, OJC is too British and way too fucking old to play Clark Kent. I could see him as Oliver Queen or one of the Green Lanterns or even John Constantine, for which he's a popular fan cast, but not Clark Kent. The same applies to Nicholas Hoult. David is really cute in a quiet farmboy kind of way, which Clark is supposed to be. I like this casting a lot!

Ffs he’s wearing some kind of pouch so they don’t see the dick outline on camera because that’s cotton

If that was his dick I’d be very concerned because frankly he’d be showing signs of a severe hernia

How many times must they remake Superman? It’s simply bizarre.

R130 that’s called a sock.

david will be fabulous !!!!!

He is a great choice....her ? meh..

I hope we don’t have to watch Krypton get destroyed and Clark’s dad die again. It gets old.

Is it true Dylan Mulvaney is going to play Supermans birth mother in the Krypton scenes? Wait until Fox and the MAGA loonies find out Lois Lane is friends with Dylan.

I'm sure she's a good actress but she really is too old for the part. She looks like she could be his mother.

I predict "scheduling conflicts" for Rachel before shooting begins. And her voice is so cartoonish. I don't see this happening.

While it's becoming a bit more obvious that Gunn has begun believing his own press, he has done some pretty good casting for such movies.

Remember the mockery he got for casting dumpy Andy Dwyer, Chris Pratt, in Guardians? I despise Pratt, but he was a superb choice for the role.

In some ways, I wish he had chose someone as random, like Pratt was, for Superman. But, given that Gunn probably had his choice of young actors, I'm willing to take a wait-and-see stance on Corenswet, even if he was also my top choice when it became clear that Cavill had been dumped.

Pratt has already showed off a fit body in Zero Dark Thrity and his casting in Guardians was not considered a surprise.

Gunn benefitted from GOTG having never been depicted before. Superman and Lois have been depicted so many times before. People want to see something new.

r141

I'm not sure if it needs to be something new, it just needs to be good! Superman is a ray of hope and that did NOT come across in the Synderverse... Synder acted as if Superman was Batman with all the darkness

new pic online shows him in bathing suit:::: huge cock !!!! (its on daily mail)_

Jesus Christ it was just posted a few posts above you and he’s clearly wearing a pouch.

At least he looks like he could be a leading man well into his middle age years. Chalamet should be worried.

I don't see him and Timmy going for the same roles, r145. David might have been a good Oliver, but that's the extent of their intersection IMO.

I hate this. David C. has been my personal celebrity crush that nobody knows about for years. And I knew this was going to happen, for the same reason people say he looks like Henry Cavill. Henry Cavill looks like Superman. David Corenswet looks like Superman. I should know--I've been crushing on Superman since the vast majority of living people were born!

Just to say, DC had a scene in "Hollywood" with Patti Lupone. Dressed in jockey shorts. And there wasn't a big celebration about size.

Excellent choice, great actor and hot as fukk.

Ughhh I just found the perfect Superman

It’s the guy doing Dirty Dancing in London

R150: He's handsome but not much of an actor.

His name is Michael O’Reilly

fuck he's adorable... what do we know about him?

He's gorgeous, but brown eyes, so no Superman.

Brandon Routh had brown eyes too, you freaking dumbass. They’ve had colored contacts for what , forty, fifty years?

Geez.

R151 He reminds me of Chris Reeve.

The comments say he’s a Chris Reeve/ Henry Cavill/ Patrick Swayze hybrid which is accurate

[quote]Brandon Routh had brown eyes too, you freaking dumbass. They’ve had colored contacts for what , forty, fifty years?

Insane stans are always funny.

check out his other films, he is a damn good actor.

This means that we'll never see the final episode of "The Politician," in which we learn that Ben Platt's character murdered David Corenswet's character.

Wait you actually thought The Politician was coming back? WTH is wrong with you?

Where did I ever say that?

Both of them are a bland as Taylor Swift. There's nothing more bland than that.

his fat big cock is a work of art im told.

^ David's agent, making the rounds.

[quote]his fat big cock is a work of art im told.

there are pix of him in a swimsuit showin its massive girth.
