David Corenswet may be stepping into the red cape as the latest actor to play Superman — but this time he’s flying alone.
At the London premiere of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman, Corenswet revealed that both Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin — who previously played the Man of Steel in Man of Steel and Superman & Lois, respectively — opted not to offer advice as he prepared to take on the role.
“I had the pleasure of exchanging letters with two previous Supermans — Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin,” Corenswet said on the red carpet via Beat 102 103. “Both of them, interestingly, sort of said in their own words, ‘I’m not gonna try and give you any tips.’”

They really just conveyed to me an encouragement and a sense of ‘have fun with it,’ which I think is Superman’s way of doing it too.”
Despite the hands-off approach, Corenswet said he “had a lovely experience” communicating with both actors and looks forward to eventually meeting them.
“I’m excited to meet them one day,” he shared. “It’ll be great when we can all get in a room together.”
Cavill, 42, famously portrayed Superman in Zack Snyder’s DCEU trilogy before briefly reprising the role in Black Adam (2022). He later confirmed he’d be returning — only to be recast after Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of DC Studios.
Now, it’s Corenswet’s turn. The 31-year-old actor headlines Superman, due in theaters July 11, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
