Corenswet, who typically rocks a leaner physique, is clearly beefed up to take on the lead role in Superman. He began bulking up, even though the exact start date for filming was uncertain due to Hollywood strikes, which postponed production until spring 2024. Nevertheless, Corenswet looked primed and ready to suit up as Superman.

In Hollywood, Corenswet showcased his charisma and ability to portray the duality of a character like Superman, balancing the charming Clark Kent with the heroic alter ego. His portrayal of River Barkley in The Politician demonstrates his understanding of the social pressures and responsibilities that come with being in the spotlight, qualities essential for Superman.
Even before Superman was announced, Corenswet expressed his enthusiasm for playing a classic, upbeat Superman in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. The actor disclosed in the interview,
“My pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman. I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”
However, as filming for Superman kicks off, Corenswet is fully prepared to bring the iconic hero to life on the big screen.
