With the DC Universe now established, it’s challenging to envision anyone other than David Corenswet as our Superman taking center stage. James Gunn’s 2025 film pushes Superman to grapple with self-doubts and question his worthiness of being a hero, a complexity that not every actor can effectively portray. Corenswet, however, delivers an exceptional performance. Interestingly enough, Nicholas Hoult, who recently portrayed Lex Luthor, was also considered for the Superman role. Yet, Corenswet managed to outshine the competition, as evident from his impressive audition tape.
Although Superman’s theatrical release happened more than a month ago, the excitement about the movie seems to be at its peak. This might be due to the film’s availability on digital platforms and its integration with the wider DCU in the initial episode of Peacemaker Season 2, currently streaming on HBO Max. The documentary titled “Adventures in the Making of Superman” also contributes to this buzz, offering a glimpse into the production process of a superhero movie. Unfortunately, it does not delve much into the casting aspect, but a viral video on social media fills that gap quite effectively.

The initial audition video for Superman, showcased by the 21 Casting YouTube channel, features Timberland Corenswet. It begins similarly to many other tapes, with him introducing himself along with his height. However, things swiftly escalate as Corenswet dons a Clark Kent-inspired ensemble and enacts a scene where his character interacts with Lois Lane. Throughout the entire performance, it’s evident that he has mastered the character’s gestures and upbeat demeanor.
The audition video played a significant part in Corenswet securing the role, yet his enthusiasm never waned once he put on the super suit and the cameras began to roll. On the contrary, all the behind-the-scenes Superman footage indicates that the actor is growing increasingly self-assured, much like his character’s confidence within the DC Universe.
David Corenswet Isn’t Phoning It in as Superman
In Gunn’s film, Corenswet’s performance during Superman’s argument with Lois stands out as a strong demonstration of his acting skills. However, it’s not the only instance where Superman showcases his talent. Towards the end of the movie, he delivers a powerful speech to Lex Luthor about the essence of humanity. The end result is impressive, but achieving it required considerable effort, as depicted in the behind-the-scenes documentary titled “Adventures in the Making of Superman.
At first, during filming, Corenswet was puzzled as to why Superman was showing such intense emotions and sought out Gunn for an explanation. After discussing back and forth, they eventually found some common ground, allowing Corenswet to give a fantastic performance. Ever since the audition stage, this actor hasn’t shied away from making the DCU hero his unique interpretation – demonstrating his impressive talent as a performer.
Superman is available on digital.
