Superman's David Corenswet Recalls ‘Intense’ Time He Screen-Tested for the Movie During Wife’s Pregnancy (Exclusive)


In PEOPLE's cover story, 'Superman' star David Corenswet recalls the 'intense' time when he screen-tested for the movie during his wife's pregnancy.

For Superman star David Corenswet, 2023 was a busy year: He learned he’d be a father and landed the part of the Man of Steel. “For a period we had just each other for these two huge things,” continues Corenswet, who says Julia’s due date originally coincided with when he was set to start filming in early 2024. The actor says he was at his home, on a break from making the 2024 movie Twisters, when he got the call from Superman director James Gunn telling him he had been cast in the lead role.
