Gunn told Variety in April 2023 that he was aiming for certain undiscovered character traits for his incarnation of the famous character.
“The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien,” Gunn told the outlet. “It has to be someone who has the kindness and compassion that Superman has and someone you want to give a hug to.”
Corenswet follows in the footsteps of a number of well-known names to take on the role of the comic hero, such as the late Kirk Alyn, George Reeves and Christopher Reeve, as well as Brandon Routh and Cavill.
