‘Superman’ Reboot Finalist Tom Brittney Reveals He Accidentally Tore Henry Cavill’s Suit During DC Universe Audition

Henry Cavill’s Superman suit was a bit too snug! Tom Brittney recalls a funny story when auditioning to play the Man of Steel in the DC Universe reboot.

However, it wasn’t long ago that the search for the new Man of Steel was happening in full force, with almost nobody sure of who could take the mantle from Henry Cavill in the highly-anticipated reboot by James Gunn. While fans advocated for popular fancasts like Jacob Elordi to take on the role of the Man of Steel, the search for Superman seemed to come down to three finalists: David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, and Tom Brittney. Regardless, it’s certainly a funny story to hear that the size of the people auditioning were too big for even tailors to fight them into suits from the old DC Universe, suggesting a truly imposing physicality for David Corenswet in the upcoming film.
