David Corenswet has already won hearts with his take on Superman, but now an old audition tape of the actor has gone viral\u2014and it\u2019s giving everyone a glimpse of why James Gunn picked him as the new Man of Steel.<\/p>\n
The clip, uploaded by 21 Casting on YouTube, shows David stepping into Clark Kent\u2019s shoes in a three-minute audition. He performs the classic Superman interview scene, with his wife Julia Best Warner reading the lines for Lois Lane. In the final film, that role is played by Rachel Brosnahan.<\/p>\n
The tape is simple yet striking. David stands against a plain blue wall, introducing himself with, \u201cHi, I\u2019m David Corenswet and I\u2019m 6\u20194.\u201d Dressed in a suit and tie like Clark Kent, he slips into the character with ease\u2014glasses on for Clark, glasses off when Superman appears. The dialogue isn\u2019t exactly the same as what made it into the finished movie, but fans immediately noticed how effortlessly he captured the balance between Kent\u2019s awkward charm and Superman\u2019s quiet strength.<\/p>\n
The reaction online has been explosive. Fans are flooding the comments with excitement, with many even praising Julia\u2019s role in the tape. \u201cCredits to Julia as his audition partner, she sounds so sweet. They\u2019re absolutely cute,\u201d one fan wrote. Another said, \u201cThis was the only tape James Gunn needed to see. The moment he watched this, he knew David was Superman.\u201d Others highlighted how much muscle he has gained since the audition, calling it proof of his dedication.<\/p>\n
For many, this was destiny. \u201cDavid was born to play Superman. He\u2019s got the look, manners, personality. He has that old-world charm,\u201d one admirer wrote. Another added, \u201cThis dude just oozes that Superman vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
