The era of the DCEU finally came to a close, and the vision of James Gunn and Peter Safran is about to be turned into reality with the release of the upcoming Creature Commandos. But Gunn’s prized project, titled Superman: Legacy will also be kicking into high gear soon, and David Corenswet seems ready to take his place in the new cinematic universe as the Son of Krypton.
And what is Superman without his superhuman physique that shines through his suit when he makes his presence felt? Thus, to get in shape, the star has been putting in the work to achieve a body worthy of the Beacon of Hope, which has led him to pack some insane muscle on his frame. But seeing this rapid bulk has convinced many that he may be on that muscle-building sauce.
Fans Are Convinced That David Corenswet Is On Steroids To Bulk-Up For Superman: Legacy
After the news came in through different sources DC Films made an official announcement that actor David Corenswet will be playing the role of the Man of Steel in the upcoming DCU film Superman: Legacy, which is set to be directed by James Gunn himself. Thus, as this is his first major comic book role, he decided to go all out with it.
This has resulted in him packing some serious bulk for his role as Superman for his debut. But after seeing him in a totally swole state, many fans are convinced that he has juiced up.

In a recent picture of the Look Both Ways star posted by his personal trainer Paolo Mascitti on his Instagram page, people were going nuts just how similar Corenswet looked to his predecessor Henry Cavill, who was also jacked when he played Superman in the DCEU. Thus, people have high hopes that they are going to witness a truly superhuman body with the star’s depiction of the superhero.

But on the other end of the spectrum, we have fans who are convinced that he is definitely taking steroids to achieve this physique. People pointed out that he packed a little muscle before, but going from lean to absolutely swole in just a couple of months can only be achieved through the juice. Thus, they have taken to X to voice their opinion.

While we may still not know if the star is on the gear or not, it won’t be completely off the table to doubt whether his physical transformation was achieved naturally.

Do Stars Take Steroids For Bulking Up Muscle?
While he may be the latest in the question of whether he was a natural muscle gainer or not, he’s just one of the stars in a long line of individuals who are suspected of taking the juice.
Going back to the time Cavill held the title of Man of Steel in the DCEU, everyone was convinced that he too was taking steroids to achieve his stunning physique. Apart from him, any star who gains an insane amount of muscle in a very short time often is doubted with the use of the juice. While it may not be a pleasant topic to discuss, it is still an important one, socially to not mislead the fans.
