It is not a huge surprise to hear that David Corenswet was shocked when he first found out he had been cast as Superman, but the star thought the role was so out of reach that when he got a call back to audition, he thought it was for Top Gun 3.
"When I got the audition, I was standing on a ladder changing a light fixture. My agent said, “We think you know what this is about." I said, "Is it Top Gun 3? What am I waiting for?" said Corenswet to Wicked: For Good star Jonathan Bailey, as part of Variety's actors on actors series. "I really was not expecting it, although I think other people thought that I should be expecting it. Just statistically speaking, it feels completely impossible."
