David Corenswet may be playing a brightly optimistic take on Superman in writer/director James Gunn's reboot movie that calls back to the character's Silver Age sci-fi history. But Corenswet tells GQ he's just as big a fan as other takes on the hero - notably how director Zack Snyder and actor Henry Cavill brought Superman to life in Man of Steel and its subsequent films.
"With a great character like Superman, you want great artists and writers and actors to explore all of the possibilities of them. The one way they become boring is if you just keep doing the same thing over and over again," Corenswet explains. "And so, just like Chris Nolan took Batman and did something darker and more grounded with the character, Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill explored a side of Superman that hadn't been explored on the big screen."
