Creature Commandos gave us a taste of what’s to come in the DCU last year, but Superman will be what launches DC Studios’ DCEU reboot\u00a0to the masses.<\/p>\n
The marketing campaign is kicking into high gear now that we’re less than a month away from the movie’s release, and lead star David Corenswet is looking “sexy” on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine<\/a>. It’s a big publication that should bring even more eyes to Superman come July 11.<\/p>\n “He\u2019s got all the charm and muscles a Superman needs,”<\/strong> filmmaker James Gunn tells the site. “He has, as one friend said, ‘such Superman face.’\u00a0But he\u2019s also an incredibly talented actor that could balance the dramatic chops and humor and naturalism and physicality the role calls for.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Corenswet has a fair bit in common with Superman: The Movie star Christopher Reeve; they both attended\u00a0Juilliard and have a background in theatre. Reflecting on his time in the prestigious performing arts school, the Superman star remembered discussing Reeve with reverence.\u00a0<\/p>\n “He was somebody who we talked about quite a lot as an alumni who was to be sort of admired and looked up to,” <\/strong>the actor said before talking about the impact playing the Man of Steel has had on him. “People tell me I look like Superman, but don\u2019t realize that I\u2019m playing Superman.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Corenswet is a relative unknown in the grand scheme of Hollywood, but has impressed audiences with his work in Pearl and Twisters. Superman looks set to be his big break, though, and we’re sure people will soon recognise him on the street as the new Clark Kent.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gunn decided against bringing Justice League star Henry Cavill back as Superman, deciding instead to start fresh with an actor who has less baggage and can play a younger, less experienced version of this iconic character. When Superman begins, though, he’ll have been protecting Metropolis for three years<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n As well as this cover, PEOPLE has shared a video interview with Corenswet. You can watch that below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
