Why I'm Excited for David Corenswet's Superman

[@CaptainAmercia]

I really do hope that Gunn goes for a timeless direction for his DC universe. Embrace the Art Deco City of Tomorrow look of Metropolis that acts as a hybrid of old meets new. Lexcorp pumping out vehicles inspired by the 1950s but of course modernized, Skyscrapers build in the style of Art Deco but with a flash of modern elements etc. It needs to be a massive contrast to Gotham City something we never got in the DCEU where they both ended up looking the same until The Flash shot it's scenes in Glasgow finally giving the city a Gothic look and feel. Same goes with fashion, tech etc. Why should people use products by Apple or Samsung give us Waynetech and Lexcorp devices stuff like this to add worldbuilding and show how massive these companies are in this universe and how much control Lex has over Metropolis. I never got why they try so hard to ground DC when there's so man aspects that branch it off from our own history decades before Superman and Batman show up.

[@CaptainAmercia]

Also as gun plans to make games set in this universe I'm pretty sure he knows that the settings showcases in the films and shows have to be amazing and translate one to one to a video game world. So if Metropolis and Gotham look boring and generic in the films then no one would want to explore that world in a game.

[@bakasta5992]

Please Gunn give us Art Deco Metropolis… I don’t think we’ve ever seen that in live action

[@connerkent9641]

I don’t really understand why the “city of tomorrow” wouldn’t look futuristic but, cool idea

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

You're right on the money. James Gunn has talked about the inherent otherworldly aspect of the DC universe compared to Marvel (which is as he put it is more 'our regular world with heroes dropped in'). The DCEU was really missing that key ingredient, it should feel like another world that is stylized but also incredibly vast, not every place should feel the same, Swamp Thing shouldn't have much in common with the visuals of Superman Legacy. I also hope they tell stories for the sake of telling good stories, personally I don't need a scene where every DC character shows up in one area to punch Darkseid ten years from now. If they really nail the world and give it a distinct feel and style that can connect with audiences I think that will do a lot to keep them coming back despite how obscure some projects or characters may be.

[@CaptainAmercia]

@@connerkent9641 Because every city has a history so we will see the evolution of Metropolis throughout it's history in the form of different architectural designs throughout the city all inspired by the cities past. So for example Arkham Knight has a new Neo Gotham district being built in Gotham City that goes for a more modern glass Skyscraper look and feel but it still keeps gothic elements just modernized. Metropolis could have classic Art Deco designs built in the 1910s and onwards but also modern designs inspired by Art Deco to give it a timeless look and feel. Embrace the past and the future of the city. Pretty much the city never left the whole Art Deco feel and still remained in the DNA of new architectural designs, an evolution of Art Deco.

[@izziedevil]

As far as the Superman costume goes I think the perfect balance is having it be made from the Kryptonian cloth he was swaddled in, but sewn together by Ma Kent. That strikes the perfect balance between his Kryptonian heritage and his human upbringing. Kryptonian born, human made ❤

Also other point, I hope Gunn can make metropolis look futuristic in a sense like in the animated series and comics. So that we can see the difference between that , Gotham, star and central city. Let metropolis be it’s own character like Matt reeves did for the batman.

[@LaBooF42]

As an east coast Jewish boi, it’s very nice to see one of us playing a character that was invented by two east coast Jews. Superman is supposed to be the best mensch, and I really think that casting someone who is probably what the creators envisioned is dope. Edit: hahaha I’m so happy you mentioned this!!!

[@JB-1138]

I agree so don't get me wrong here, but I've always wondered why Siegel and shuster had baby Kal-El crash-land in the Bible belt. It may not be overtly stated, but it's implied that the Kent family is Christian. Or maybe I am way off base here?

[@RiptidePen]

@@JB-1138 The Kents weren’t actually a part of Superman’s origin story in the original Action Comics 1, he was an orphan in an orphanage, so the Kansas element is an afterthought, although I think that came about when Siegel and Shuster were making Superman.

[@olivercrespo2329]

I think the trunks are fine as long as they are cut to thigh length. The tightie whitey design is outdated. But I agree that the suit should feel more like Raimi’s Spider-Man suit - a tangible earthbound fabric as opposed to some alien shit.

[@bigblueboyscout4795]

Whenever people start talking about fan casting, my take is almost always the same: get an unknown. Both because it’s nice to use the notoriety of these iconic characters to showcase new talent, but also it just makes it that much easier to see these actors as the characters rather than a big name actor giving their take on a character. It’s hard to separate Reeves from Superman or Jackman from Wolverine because the general public was introduced to them through these iconic roles that they nailed.

[@zackmiller9005]

I agree, you can almost always make an actor look like the comic book character. But you can't change the actor's performance range.

[@suto5704]

Facts

[@Nathan-gm9nl]

I'm so hyped for David Corenswet. I have seen some of his previous acting and i'm sure he can prefectly nail the optimistic and joyful nature super-man needs. And oh boy am I hype that James Gunn is making it after watching guardian of the galaxy 3.

[@donaldwallberg4463]

Blah you are full of crap it would be better to see purple kryptonite and gay superman right....this is real world no unicorns farting rainbows

[@necro-esque666]

When it comes to your comment on the design, I think Nando V Movies put it best when he compared Superman's trunks to the Brown M&Ms for Van Halen venues. For anyone unfamiliar, Van Halen would have super elaborate stage setups that required a lot of attention to detail, so to make sure that the venues that they were performing at read the whole contract, they always requested a bowl of M&Ms backstage with all the brown ones removed. If they either didn't have the candy backstage or the brown ones were still in the bowl, they wouldn't perform because they knew the venue wasn't following their contract. I think a similar thing works for Superman's trunks. If you feel the need to remove them for being too campy or silly or not serious or cool enough, then you probably are going to think of a lot of things regarding Superman that way, and maybe you shouldn't be in charge of the character.

[@troyoboyo17]

Based Nando once again, I really like that

[@councilmanbanks6528]

Personally I don’t want either the Christ or Moses allegory for the character. I always preferred when they just said Superman is just a good guy with powers, who happens to be an alien. He shouldn’t be a god or savior to humanity, he should just be a good guy trying to do the right thing.

[@KingKhupacabra]

I’m happy that superman is being played by a Jewish actor and David is an amazing actor imo. I think I’m feeling the same hype I was for the batman and I was too hyped for that movie 😂😂

[@williewinkles9288]

[@milkiassamuel780]

David Corenswet has been my number one pick to play Superman for a very long time and to finally see him get the role alongside Rachel Brosenahan who is a superb casting choice to play Lois, this just feels like a *dream come true* 🤩😁 Here's some of my fan castings for other Superman characters: Wyatt Oleff as Jimmy Olsen Bruce Campbell as Perry White Nathan Fillion as Steve Lombard Sam Weaving as Cat Grant Lenny James as Ron Troupe Alexander Skarsgård or Nicholas Holt as Lex Luthor Pom Klementieff as Mercy Graves Sam Worthington as Metallo Tony Todd as Parasite Ralph Fiennes as Brainiac Martin Short as Mr Myxzptlk David Dawson or Will Poulter as Manchester Black Toby Jones as Toyman Christopher Judge as Darkseid

[@simoneastmond3970]

i heard that bryan cranston went on a podcast saying that people were fan casting him as luthor because he "had a bald head"

[@erwahl_]

Corenswet was also my champion for a while, especially when he himself mentioned wanting to play Superman years ago. When I saw him in Hollywood years ago I thought he'd be a good Clark Kent and I feel so validated now

[@upupdowndown8147]

Even though I still feel the wounds of my favorite Superman, Henry Cavill being taken out (and being the first thing James Gunn did in his reign as the president of DC), I think David Corenswet will blow us out of the water and potentially be the most ideal looking Superman yet. It’s time we had a hero that makes us become better people.

[@LiableFilm]

Nando V Movies is always so good at fancasting and all of his videos go so in depth and it's very fun

[@JOVONO]

I don’t like all his fancasts but he still is really good about explaining his reasons and just makes really good videos For example some of his X-Men fancast I’m not fond of but I really like his Wolverine fancast and the video he made

[@LiableFilm]

@@JOVONO Yeah, he's not perfect but I think some fancasts are spot on, and I agree he's very good about explaining reasoning behind stuff

[@SurgeReboot]

Charlie Hunnam would be a great green arrow though, he’s can be charismatic & can really nail the serious and emotional scenes. Watch Sons of Anarchy, it’s a really great show.

[@andrewjelen1810]

I'm VERY excited for David Corenswet's take on the Man of Steel too. There were too many fancasts of him wearing the suit and I definitely think that he looks perfect in the suit and the role. I can't wait for both your prewrite of the film, and James Gunn's Superman: Legacy.

[@LYRADdl]

I am so happy with the Corenswet casting. A personal and internet fandom fancasting that actually came true. IN terms of what movie we might get, I like to reference the recent Superman: Man of Tomorrow. It's literally a Superman: Year Two. Not an origin story per se but early enough in Supes career to have major growing pains.

[@vereschweizer6397]

i can't help myself from being filled with hope for the future of the DCEU. after the new suicide squad film, i trust gunn to stay true to superman as a character and figure. that aside, i think casting david corenswet was a fantastic choice. i've seen all of his work and believe he could portray both superman's and clark's demeanor perfectly. here's hoping!

[@Batman88878]

I disagree about not seeing characters look like they stepped off the page. That's the point! They have that iconic look that fans have gotten attached to & to see someone playing a well-known character & barely or not even resembling them at all creates a discrepancy. Corenswet looks like Kal-El/Clark in terms of physicality. He will easily match the iconic look. It will be page-to-screen for both Corenswet & Brosnahan. It won't be jarring like Jimmy Olsen in the Arrowverse Supergirl. That dude could have been John Henry Irons/Steel, though Wole Parks is killing it in S&L. Bald & jacked with a deep, commanding voice is NOT Jimmy Olsen. Oh & I imagine Gunn's going to add the trunks, but I think Cavill & Hoechlin have proven that the trunks aren't necessary.

[@billyredfern-webb7213]

both were my top picks from day 1 so i am ecstatic.

[@DirtyDan16325]

Okay, here’s a hot take. Superman needs his own Spider-Man No Way Home. I don’t mean multiverse stuff, but more putting him in a situation where he can rehabilitate and help all his enemies. Superman has a long line of history of believing in second chances, so to see him try to help those who has done so much wrong to him would feel so rewarding in my opinion.

[@demonkiller5204]

Honestly I am not into the whole fancast thing but I will say that despite not knowing anything about David Corenswet, I think that he is an interesting choice.

[@braydencooper5726]

I definitely get what you’re saying when you say that you’re happy that they casted a Jewish actor for this role, but at the same time I don’t think it matters. The charter has changed and evolved so much since his creation that he isn’t just the one version of Superman that he was a the start. Especially since (to my knowledge) there hasn’t been any content we’re Superman himself has been portrayed as Jewish.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

As for other roles in the DCU and who could play them my hope is that they incorporate characters of different age ranges, really build out that sense of a pre-established world by not having everyone be starting out their superhero careers or all in their 30's. Characters like Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen would work great with slightly older actors, closer to middle age or maybe even a bit older. I know I'd sure like to see Hal with the white hairstreaks but more importantly seeing as he's going to be in a series with John Stewart, that more experienced aspect and potential interplay could be fun. I think that could also really work for Oliver since on top of he and Hal being friends we've had a lot of younger live-action iterations of Green Arrow already, and with takes like the DCAU I feel like he works really well as a character who's been through a lot and and all those unspoken past experiences reinforce why he's so dead-set in his beliefs. Barry Allen could maybe go that slightly older direction, but I think the smart thing for having a lasting franchise would be to pull an MCU Captain America and build out the Flash legacy over time. Have Barry already as the Flash for a few films, flesh out his world and build up Wally as a side character alongside him, then later on have Wally take the mantle. I get some people wanting Wally to be the Flash for the new DCU and I'm not against that, I just think maybe it makes more sense if they want it to last to give Barry Allen a few outings first then they can always have Wally take over later. It would also be fun to maybe see Barry retire rather than vanish or die, maybe have him with Iris helping to raise their kids since the show never went into that. We've seen the whole 'new hero trying to live up to the recently dead hero/mentor' story a few times in comic book films already, but we've not seen as much involving retired or part-time superheroes with now matured sidekicks, I think that would be a fun angle to explore.

[@CAT-ve1tm]

[@sychaellawinger5448]

Thanks for your openness talking about some of the themes that have made superman the character he is. It's uncommon to see people talk about faith related connections without being derogatory, and mocking religious matters. Thanks for the objectivity. Just wanted to make a note as a Christian, I don't think in recent media Superman has been painted in this light, if anything, a genuine Christian I think would view him as an anti-Christ figure, a human/or alien worshiped. At least that is how he was depicted in Man of Steel. I think the Jewish connections and depictions actually tie way more to the lead up to the one true Messiah/Christ! In the story of Moses you mentioned, he was sent by God to save his people. He wasn't the GOD of the story (essentially he was the one who "saved them", not "SAVED them" if that makes sense), he was the simple man doing the right thing, doing what God made him for, whereas the new depictions of superman seem to make superman the god, by striping the original faith values from the universe and character and having him be the one that rises up and "SAVES" (not "saves") humanity as if he was meant to be their god, at least it doesn't seem Superman would view himself that way. Wanted to say thanks again for the video and wanted to share a different perspective, mainly to sum it up: the more modern superman depictions have been morally gray alien dude is worshiped as a god, as opposed to Superman in his original character, is a simple man trying to do the right thing, and isn't about an alien man transcending humanity to be a god. Thoughts?

[@JOVONO]

The thing I’m not looking forward to is Batman being way older than Superman again and them starting off with Damien Wayne in Brave and the Bold I think most people want a proper depiction of Batman and Dick Grayson as Robin Also I hope now they recast the Flash and get rid of that creep Ezra Miller

For example I think Gabriel LaBelle and Sam Rechner would be a great Peter Parker and Flash Thompson respectively because of their performances in Fablemans or Charlie Rowe would be a great Cyclops because of his role in Rocketman.

[@The.Ronin.Kuzuri]

Charlie Hunnam would be an amazing Green Arrow dude. He's played a bunch of roles that have aspects of Oliver Queen, and meshing them together would be a really smart choice. Examples: King Arthur (playing an established and popular character), The Lost City of Z and Papillion (survival and the toll it takes on mind and body), and Triple Frontier for the action (though he's done a lot of action in other works). I also have no doubt he could play the douchey billionaire playboy as well as the hardened vigilante who disarms situations with humor. Hell, if they ONLY did Green Arrow Year One by Andy Diggle and Jock it would be super good, Jock even drew Oliver like Charlie, much how Bryan Hitch drew Nick Fury as Samuel L. Jackson in Ultimates.

Wait holy shit true Fuck a late 90s Superman movie with Brendan Fraser and Courtney Cox would have been fucking perfect

[@StopCallingMeShirley1180]

@@troyoboyo17 Hoping the rumor that Fraser is in talks for Pa Kent is true at least.

Gonna make a video about the new Superman animated show? I thought it was pretty neat.

[@abrahamaytemo]

I want the Corenswet pick to work out if only to stick it to the ones crying for a stake over Henry Cavill's getting replaced. If I remember correctly prior to his getting let go it was seen perfectly fine to dunk on the cringe cell phone video opening of his or the CGI mustache debacle but then once he's been dropped it's "HOW could we possibly get on without Henry!?" and "Gunn would have fired Christopher Reeve if he had him!" This coupled with the fact that Henry had initially signaled he was no longer interested in playing the character only to randomly pop up at the end of Black Adam (with his appearance weirdly styled to resemble Reeve right down to the signature hairstyle) just made the righteous indignation come off as annoying. You have these actors constantly signal they want to do move on from the character (Cavill or Jackman or whoever) and then they'll randomly change their minds and end up doing it again anyway...

So you want him to work just to spite others and not because you're excited to see Corenswet in the role..?

[@roam_y]

As someone who picked up the current comic on superman, you don't even notice the trunks half the time. I only ever look at the logo anyways.

[@batmanultra7]

Excited to see what they do with Superman!! My initial casting was David Wolk which also could've been the first Jewish casting for Superman.

[@Chellariat]

I'm fully on board with David as Clark, and this video only cemented my on-board-ness. as for others i'd like to see in the movie, i'd really like for Parasite to be the main villain but it's looking like it might be The Authority, based on the recent Grant Morrison one where Manchester Black is a member, so i'm predicting it's gonna be loosely based on "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, And The American Way?" which also makes me quite excited. i know they said it's gonna be based on All Star but i think its likely gonna be a mix of the two, i doubt they're gonna adapt the actual plot of all star and just use the tone and moode as a blueprint, and also use it to pad out a shorter story like What's So Funny.

[@jeffacallaway]

I enjoy your videos. Just a note: Your audio levels seem a little low compared to other channels. Carry on.

[@Hades69099]

he feels like a live action version of the adventures of super man show that just dropped. I think he'll perfectly embody that sort of innocent superman

[@matt_aquila_]

"L.L? That could easily be Lois Lane" "Lana. Lang." Superman For All Seasons is a banger

[@michaelmcdonnell3905]

Have the Daily Planet be a media corporation in addition to being a newspaper.

[@SubZero-hs9xc]

He will be the best superman for me

[@jesusnogales7985]

Hey! Nice video, I just wanted to say maybe bump the audio a bit! I could barely hear anything in this video😅

[@CharlieMonkeh]

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing David Corenswet as the new man of steel, and I can’t wait for the movie coming out in 2025. Plus I remembered watching your video on The Flash 2023, and even when you said there’s a high chance of Ezra Miller coming back for the new universe, I was like…”Please don’t say that” ‘cause I don’t ever wanna see his scumbag face anywhere near James Gunn’s baby really. Please Troy don’t take away my hope, cause when you think about it, The Flash bombed and this iteration of the character along with Aquaman is stuck in George Clooney and Joel Schumacher’s Batverse. Just saying.

[@KingsBard]

Did someone say ENGAGEMENT?

[@WarrenValion]

He looks the part and that's basically all that I care about personally when it comes to casting. Sad to see Cavil not really get his time to shine as Superman and the fucking way he was let go felt super scummy and corporate. But I'm sure David will be fine. Honestly at this point, it's a matter of if the movie is even good.

[@ItsTheCatSpeaking24]

Genuinely not sure whether promoting Temu is best... They seem like Shein and I wouldn't trust the reliability or safety of those electronics. I wouldn't promote it, given the prices- it means the people making the items are not paid properly. Not really ethical.

[@Vinesus]

Yeah, pretty much all they do is take the items directly from the sweatshops they’re manufactured in, so they’re a pretty scuffed company

[@jasonelliott7977]

Keep up the videos and the good work. Love your videos!

[@thesatelliteslickers907]

i really do hope that we have a return of the hopeful rolemodel superman, a true paragon

[@braedeng]

In a perfect world we would have Glenn Howerton as Lex Luthor.
