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.
