The actor secured the coveted role after competing against more than 400 hopefuls for James Gunn\u2019s Superman film.<\/p>\n \u201cYou better be blown away by David Corenswet\u2019s audition. This dude just oozes that Superman vibe,\u201d one user wrote on X.<\/p>\n Another remarked, \u201cYou can always tell who went to Juilliard and who didn\u2019t. Corenswet is such a theatre kid and it\u2019s so great. He is channeling [Christopher] Reeve so much here it\u2019s wild.\u201d<\/p>\n A third post read, \u201cSorry to everyone else who auditioned because it couldn\u2019t have been anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n Director James Gunn has echoed that sentiment. Speaking to GQ<\/a>, Gunn said, \u201cFrom the very beginning, he was the guy to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n He told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> that Corenswet\u2019s chemistry with Brosnahan was the deciding factor: \u201cWe mixed and matched these different actors and actresses to find out not only who was the best Clark and who was the best Lois, but who was the best \u2018Clois,\u2019 who was the best together. I do think that David was the best Clark, Rachel was the best Lois \u2014 but they also had the most chemistry together.\u201d<\/p>\n Corenswet himself reflected on embodying Superman at a pivotal point in the hero\u2019s journey. \u201cI had the same ideas about Superman, that he\u2019s quite reserved and has ultimate control over his emotions and his reactions to things,\u201d he told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI was very excited when James said all of that is true about Superman, but we get to meet him in this moment where those things are least true.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Vritti Johar on <\/em>Mandatory.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post David Corenswet\u2019s Self-Tape Audition for Superman Goes Viral<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Unseen footage of David Corenswet\u2019s Superman audition has surfaced on social media, sparking buzz online.
