Preparing for a role as iconic and representative as Superman on the big screen is something that not many may understand. Since the responsibility to execute the portrayal is unexpectedly high, stars have to make sure everything is on point. But at the moment, David Corenswet is preparing for the physical aspect of his portrayal of the character, which may be an even bigger challenge.
But thankfully, he’s now just as big as those responsibilities are regarding his physique. Everyone is used to looking at Henry Cavill as the old Man of Steel with absolutely jacked muscles, and if Corenswet is to beat him as the new Superman, then he would have to be just as big, if not bigger. In new images of him, it seems like he may just have outdone himself with his training.
David Corenswet Looks More Jacked Than Henry Cavill As Superman Was In New Images
If you want to portray a superhero, then you ought to look like a superhero, and since these are comic book characters with insane physiques, stars are needed to look just like them on screen. Henry Cavill was the star who brought this to reality with some insane muscles in 2013’s Man of Steel, and now his successor David Corenswet is on his way to maybe surpass him in the future.
In recent images that have surfaced, the Hollywood star appears to be gaining an unreal amount of muscle for his upcoming role as the titular superhero of Superman: Legacy. In the past, there were a couple of photos that showed him gaining for the role, but his most recent one has many fans convinced that he has surpassed Cavill in terms of his physique.

Before taking on this role, Corenswet had a shredded, lean body with decent muscles, but his recent development truly puts him in the superhero physique category. While many people may argue that he is still in his bulking phase which is why he looks bigger than the Argylle star, the cutting phase will still bring him down to a size somewhere close to what we see in front of us now.
Thus, this little update has fans wondering what the final result might look like, and how that will translate to the film in the end.
