Superman's David Corenswet Was Conflicted About Gaining Weight for Role


David Corenswet, who is set to play Clark Kent in the new ‘Superman’ film, was excited to bulk up for the role but ultimately didn’t love how it made him feel

“I knew that I wanted this [movie] to be my excuse to see what it felt like to essentially gain as much weight as I could,” Corenswet, 31, revealed on the Saturday, September 28, episode of the “Manly Things (Sort Of)” podcast. Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Renee Zellweger, and Christian Bale are just a few of the many celebrities who've lost or gained significant amounts of weight for movies Alongside Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan was hired to take on the role of Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult was tapped to play supervillain Lex Luthor.
