James Gunn has auditioned 400 actors to find the right choice for Superman. David Corenswet, who was elected, told in a recent conversation that he and the filmmaker are “made for each other.”
He explained, “I believe in many ways, James and I are created for each other. James has this habit of when you work on stage, he will sit back on the screens of God’s microphone, and he shouts directions on you, which is not how instructors generally work.”
“You usually do the scene, they say the clip, and then they come and say very private and quiet,” I loved the moment you did this. What if we tried something else in the next? “The actor told GQ.
The star noted, “is something that would throw many actors off, and understandably.”
But he added, “The other thing that happened, I went, ok, this will be good because I have no idea what I am doing. I desperately need an instructor.”
David also shared, “I need an instructor who knows what they want and is willing to say it out loud without too much courtesy and without beating the bush. If I’m not good, tell me I’m not good and let’s work together to make me good.”
Superman Will fly into cinemas on July 11.
