Donning the famous red cape for the first time in the new Superman movie gave actor David Corenswet a big confidence boost.<\/p>\n
A relative newcomer, Corenswet follows in the footsteps of Christopher Reeve and, more recently, Henry Cavill, taking over the role of Clark Kent and Superman in the reboot movie, which was launched with a red-carpet fan event in London on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the cape gets on, it really ties the whole thing together. You walk out with it flowing behind you, you feel like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m all right, I\u2019ll do okay\u2019,\u201d Corenswet said on the red carpet. His acting credits include TV series The Politician and Hollywood, and films Twisters and Pearl.<\/p>\n
Superman offers the first look at director James Gunn\u2019s vision for the remake of the DC Universe (DCU) at Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker, who also wrote the Superman screenplay, said he wanted to combine elements from the comic books and the mythos of Superman in cinema.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy Superman is about, you know, in a world where there\u2019s so much meanness and so many petty things happening, Superman, who can often be seen as old-fashioned or too earnest, too kind, he is those things. I think that\u2019s the most rebellious thing that you can be in this day and age,\u201d Gunn said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a movie about kindness. But it\u2019s all told in this universe with giant monsters and flying dogs and robots and space battles and everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of Lois Lane, and Nosferatu, About a Boy and X-Men franchise actor Nicholas Hoult stars as Superman\u2019s nemesis Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n
Hoult also drew inspiration from comic books for his portrayal of the iconic villain. \u201cFor instance, reading All-Star Superman, Lex really prides himself on being the peak alpha human, and so I really wanted to bring that kind of energy,\u201d Hoult said.<\/p>\n
Brosnahan said her predecessors in the role had set the bar high. Gunn\u2019s vision for the movie was what set it apart from previous films, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think James\u2019s knowledge of and love for these characters and the different adventures that he\u2019s taking them on with the different friends he\u2019s taking them with, kind of inherently brings it into the present day,\u201d said Brosnahan.<\/p>\n
