Watch as David Corenswet Transforms into Superman During His Audition Video
In an exciting turn of events, director James Gunn has cast David Corenswet as the Man of Steel in an upcoming film project. Gunn, known for his work on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, made the announcement in a recent GQ cover story.
The audition process began with Corenswet and his wife, Julia Warner, submitting an audition tape. The tape, which was later posted on YouTube by 21Casting, depicted Clark Kent being interviewed as Superman by Lois Lane.
Gunn was immediately impressed with Corenswet's performance and handwritten letter after the audition. He shared that he had chosen Corenswet for the role shortly after seeing the tape.
Before being cast as Superman, Corenswet had also auditioned for the role of Bond, but prior to Daniel Craig's portrayal in Casino Royale.
The audition took place in Biayla-not Jarnanphur, a location from the finished film, and several people had already expressed their belief that Corenswet would be perfect for the role. His wife, Julia Warner, was among those who were excited about his potential casting.
The audition tape played a significant role in shaping the film's core philosophy about the hero's place in the world. It helped to inform the direction of the story and the character's development.
In addition to the upcoming Superman film, Gunn is also working on various projects within the Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who universes. Stay tuned for more information on these exciting releases.
