David Corenswet (29), der bisher in zwei eher erfolglosen Produktionen von Ryan Murphy (The Politician und die von mir trotzdem geschätzte Miniserie Hollywood) keine Beachtung fand und The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel höchstpersönlich, Rachel Brosnahan (32), übernehmen von Henry Cavill (40) und Amy Adams (48). Gunn wollte Superman verjüngen - aber Cavill war wärend Man of Steel auch nur 30 Jahre alt. Soll der Kram etwa nochmal erzählt werden?The decision comes after the two were among the few selected to test in front of DC co-chairs Peter Safran and Gunn (who is directing) in full costume and makeup for the parts.
The tests took place over two days with the men; one of the days saw the three actors in full Superman attire. Sources close to the situation said that each actor had closed test deals that would expire after two business weeks, so clearly all parties wanted this sorted out before a potential SAG-AFTRA strike, which could go into effect at midnight June 30.

Wird es wie bei The Flash einen Faustschlag in die Fanherzen geben, wenn der CW-DC-Arrowverse-Serienheld kein Cameo bekommt?
