It’s not every day Hollywood hands over its most iconic superhero role to an actor who once acted in high school plays and quietly penned indie scripts on the side. But that’s exactly the reveal in the tale of David Corenswet, the 32-year-old Philadelphian stepping into the Man of Steel’s red boots for Superman, directed by James Gunn.

With Henry Cavill officially hanging up the cape, Corenswet’s entrance marks a fresh start not just for the character, but for the whole DC Universe. Corenswet’s selection wasn’t a fluke. The casting came after a long, detailed search by Gunn and DC Studios’ co-chair Peter Safran, as they kicked off a full reboot of the DC cinematic world.

Rachel Brosnahan joined the film as Lois Lane, forming the Daily Planet duo for the next phase of storytelling. The film is set to fly into theatres on July 11, 2025, and the internet’s already on a full-blown scavenger hunt to learn everything about this actor who looks like Cavill (yes seriously), but isn’t him. Let’s unpack five things you probably didn’t know about David Corenswet!
