Now that the Henry Cavill era is (sadly) definitively over, all eyes are on the next actor to play Superman. But who will step in to fill the red booties of DC’s best known superhero? According to The Hollywood Reporter, some of Hollywood’s hottest young actors are in contention for the iconic role. Ever since Warner Bros. Discovery announced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the co-chairpersons and CEOs of DC Studios, fans have been eagerly awaiting the Supes reboot. Gunn announced DC’s massive new slate on social media, and at the top of his list is Superman: Legacy, a film that will introduce a younger Kal-El.
David Corenswet (Hollywood, Pearl) is the frontrunner for Clark Kent/Superman. Corenswet has been an internet favorite since he first appeared in the Netflix series The Politician, and it’s easy to see why. A dead ringer for a young Cavill, Corenswet sports the classic matinee idol look of Superman. Other names in contention include Jacob Elordi (Euphoria), Tom Brittney (Grantchester) and Andrew Richardson (A Call to Spy).
