What actor does James Gunn want for Superman and what happens to him? The latest news about the DC Universe may end up being key.
The Superman actor who wants James Gunn has become complicated. David Corenswet, one of the favorites to play the new Man of Steel in the reboot of the DC Universe, has signed on for the next update of the classic storm-chasing thriller titled Twister (1996).
Titled Twisters, this update of the 1996 blockbuster will be directed by Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung. And, according to the information published by Deadline, it will have the following cast. David Corenswet, Maura Tierney, Harry Hadden-Paton, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, Nik Dodani, Tunde Adebimpe, and Katy O’Brian. This complicates David Corenswet’s schedule to film Superman: Legacy if, finally, he was chosen by James Gunn. However, there are still many months to go. The shooting of the new Man of Tomorrow movie is scheduled for January 2024. Maybe I can get there on time.
His signing for ‘Twister’ could be beneficial from another point of view
We can also analyze it from another point of view. Although David Corenswet has not secured the role of Clark Kent in Superman: Legacy, this casting for Twister could be a point in his favor, since Warner Bros. Discovery co-finances the film along with Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures. Fans are likely familiar with James Gunn’s favorite actor from his work on hit series like HBO’s The City Is Ours, The Answers, Hollywood on Netflix, and the political drama House of Cards.
With a string of notable credits under his belt, it looks like David Corenswet is about to break through in Hollywood. Something to which the fact of serving as an anchor to the new DC Universe as James Gunn’s Superman could help a lot.. But with the actor joining the Twister reboot, some are wondering if this production could affect his chances in his career to play the iconic Clark Kent.
