David Corenswet is in the running for lead role in Superman: Legacy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming movie, which will be written and directed by Guardians of the Galaxy's James Gunn, is seriously narrowing down its search for its lead – and who'll be playing Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, too.
When it comes to the Man of Steel, Corenswet is said to be the top contender, having recently held his own opposite Mia Goth in horror sequel Pearl. Before that, he appeared in Ryan Murphy's The Politician and Hollywood. The screen test stage for Superman: Legacy is likely to take place after Memorial Day, or in early June so it might not be too much longer until casting announcements start to be made.
