New Superman actor David Corenswet actually manifested the role years ago

David Corenswet as Jack in Hollywood/Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel

It's official, David Corenswet will be the next version of Superman we see on the big screen. Following weeks of speculation and leaked shortlists, the Pearl actor and Marvelous Mrs Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan were announced as the new Clark Kent and Lois Lane, who'll be introduced in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy. 

Turns out, though, that Corenswet has been keen for a long, long time. In fact, you might even say he manifested himself landing the role. Back in 2019, while he was promoting Ryan Murphy's Netflix series Hollywood, the 29 year old admitted that it's always been his "pie-in-the-sky ambition" to play the Man of Steel.
