David Corenswet

I thought he was pretty memorable in “Pearl”.

I will always be Superman.

He’s not particularly charismatic IMO, but he’s a decent actor and hot as fuck, so it’s somewhat excusable.

He has a very flat ass unlike Cavill.

But does his ass taste better than Cavill’s?

Me thinks he's really Purdy.

This role is a career killer.

A highly-talented and handsome actor.

Change that last name asap.

He's pretty much a glorified extra in Twisters.

Atmosphere player!

I want the hot one in Ratchet to be the next big star. Huckleberry Finrock or whatever his name is.

[quote] Huckleberry Finrock or whatever his name is.

Fiinn Wittrock.

The poor man had to go down on Patti LuPone. Hasn't he suffered enough?

[quote]Am I the only one who doesn’t think he has the IT factor?

Yes, you are the only one. David has and is everything.

Get a body shot of David. Without a shirt. When you look at him dressed it's like there is no clue that body is under the clothes.

Corenswet I feel bad for because his Superman looks absolutely ridiculous. It’s a Haim Saban kiddie show. It has a freaking Green Lantern Squirrel. I know he wanted to play the role very much, but he should have passed.

As far as where he fits into the Hollywood ecosystem:

He actually had a very good opportunity when he was coming up. And that was the fall of Armie Hammer. It would have been extremely easy to shepherd Corenswet into all the roles Hammer could no longer play (handsome rich SOB’s.) The physical resemblance was uncanny.

Unfortunately, David chose to do James Gunn’s Superman.

Why is it unfortunate?

Because now David Corenswet looks like this.

Indistinct. Forgettable.

What does SOB possess?

He looked spectacular, more beautiful, in R17’s pic.

I think he's objectively gorgeous, but I also agree that he lacks that ineffable "star quality" and "it" factor.

I don't find McBongo hot, but can see why he hit big. I get why Bradley Cooper hit while Scott Foley and Scott Speedman barely made ripples.

R11 = Glen Powell’s mother

The I Know What’s Best for David Corenswet’s Career Troll is the same sick individual as The Matt Bomer Troll.

Same verbiage. Same psychotic, stalker-like fixation. Same yarn-board conspiracies and pieces of “evidence.” Same obsession for anyone cast as or almost cast in the Superman role.

He’s mentally ill and dangerously overweight. And undoubtedly the recipient of multiple restraining orders.

See you on “Dateline,” sicko.

Ughhhhh

Now when I saw this ad campaign, I felt really bad because he is dressed exactly the same way Cavill was dressed in behind the scenes promo clips from Man of Steel. And that people would place them next to each other and compare them.

Simply put, this is Superman. He’s not in his costume, he’s not on set, but this is Superman. Anyone from 9 and 90 will see this and know exactly who it is supposed to be.

This is not Superman.

This is Jersey Shore.

R24 here’s a nice thread about Cluster B disorders, why aren’t you venting in it against your mother like you usually do?

Does anyone have the Henry Cavill costume test photos with his bare ass hanging out?

R29, it's all for you!

Are you the same person who asks for them in every thread?

Can you save the link this time?

Kisses r30. xoxo

Finn Wittrock looks like Matt Gaetz.

The only reason he's the new Superman is because he did for James Gunn what I refused to do, plus he resembles me.

Eh. Let's wait until the Superman movie is out before we pass judgment. He was fine in "Pearl," but the role was so small, it's hard to get a gauge on him.

[quote]The only reason he's the new Superman is because he did for James Gunn what I refused to do, plus he resembles me.

There are many criticisms one could make, but "resembling" Cavill is not one of them.

He resembles Superman, just as every actor whose portrayed him in recent history.

[quote]whose

I'll "oh, dear" myself.

Corenswet has done plenty of work, including two Ryan Murphy series. He’s a fine actor. Unfortunately, he just does a lot of garbage. Hollywood was garbage. This is garbage.

This is a bit of the story of the dog chasing the car and then finally catching it.

OFFS, what you are seeing are some early unsweetened set photos. That is not the final product or how he will appear in the film.

[quote] unswetened

Fixed that for you.

I thought he was incredibly charismatic in The Politician. Especially in comparison to that dork Ben Platt.

R39 yes it is.

Set photos from Man of Steel don’t look terribly different from the postproduction film.

He looks like Robert on Everybody Loves Raymond.

That costume is awful and ill-fitting.

[quote] [R39] yes it is.

No it isn’t, you autistic moron.

You’re a depraved, self-proclaimed Hollywood “expert” who targets random celebrities in various threads you begin (Matt Bomer, David Corenswet, Emily Blunt) and then spend post after post tearing apart their careers with random photos and your delusional conspiracy theories. That’s when you’re not posting your tragic box office “please somebody interact with me” threads.

You know nothing. You’re a lonely, sick individual who fixates on celebrities. There’s a name for that.

You’re both hilarious and terrifying.

Get help.

R45

How much did your mother blame you for ruining her life?

R45 here is what I do not understand.

Surely in your research on Cluster B personality disorders, you would have come to the conclusion - as is generally accepted - that an antisocial personality disorder and a narcissistic personality disorder are not mutually exclusive. Rather, you appear determined to bifurcate them. Why is that?

[quote]Corenswet I feel bad for because his Superman looks absolutely ridiculous.

If you're referring to his haircut as Clark, I agree, but the whole point of it is to FINALLY make it at least MORE plausible that he'd go unrecognized as Superman. You have to admit this has always been one of the stupider aspects of how the comic was even set up. Also, if you walk around any given area popular with Gen Z types, you will see this broccoli perm – yes, it has a name – on most of the guys.

As for his "lack of appeal": bitches, please. He *was* a glorified extra in "Twisters," and unless you watched "The Politician" and "Hollywood," you haven't seen his charm in action. (Ryan Murphy clearly has a hard-on for him.) Finally, are we forgetting that James Gunn is responsible for Chris Pratt's entire career resurgence?? He was the chubby hubby on "Parks & Rec," but after getting into shape for the first "Guardians" movie, he became a true overnight success.

Gunn knows what he's doing, and *already* directed the best DC film of the past decade: "The Suicide Squad." (Admittedly after DC botched the first "Suicide Squad." Gunn's is exponentially better.) I have faith in him for the time being.

[quote] I thought he was pretty memorable in “Pearl”.

I thought just the opposite. Dull as ditchwater.

[quote] If you're referring to his haircut as Clark

No I am not.

Ultimately the problem for Corenswet is that he looks more like Superman when he was playing a male hooker for Ryan Murphy than he does actually playing Superman. That’s not Corenswet’s fault, that’s James Gunn’s fault.

Here's a scene from The Politician where Corenswet is effective. From this, you'd think he could act and that he had something special.

Just pretend Ben Platt is Lois Lane:

He was the definitive Jerrywether.

ROFL I just remember Pauline Kael’s description of Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl in Popeye

“She looks oddly miscast in the role she was born to play”

That’s a good description for Corenswet in Superman

I hate actors like this but I admit he is striking. He should have never tied himself to Ryan Murphy. Without all the Superman bulk he is very handsome with an innocent quality like Montgomery Clift and James Dean.

[quote] I hate actors like this

Like what?

[quote] He should have never tied himself to Ryan Murphy.

Why not? Isn’t he a nepo baby?

R56 Look like just what you would want in most plug in young man leading parts but no real acting ability. Sometimes those can grow into it. But he's already been fast tracked to Superman. I don't know if he will have the opportunity to grow.

In a world of celebrities who can't help themselves from oversharing, I find it refreshing that he keeps his personal life private. He and his wife were married but I don't think he's ever identified her. She comes from a Catholic family and his dad is Jewish, so they had an interfaith marriage in New Orleans' Immaculate Conception Church last year.

He's like a young Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Cruise, Clift as mentioned and to a lesser degree Beatty. You don't even necessarily wanna fuck them but they are so damn pretty and broken you follow their plight almost like a young girl.

Although I know Jewish people come in all shapes and sizes, he looks so un-Jewish to me.

R61 I could be mistaken, but I think only his dad is Jewish, which would make him technically not Jewish unless his mother converted before she gave birth to him.

The only thing I’ve seen him in was Hollywood and I didn’t think he was much of an actor. Still at least he’s a heck of a lot easier on the eyes than Mouseboy.

He looked Jewish in The Politician.

He would have made a very good Oliver in Call Me By Your Name. I disagree about not tying himself to Ryan Murphy because Murphy understands him certainly better than James Gunn (I dislike Murphy but he frequently casts well - Evan Peters, etc.) There is a kind of wickedness in him. A comment that was made about Armie Hammer once is that he would have made a good Guy Woodhouse. Corenswet would also fall under that description. The Murphy track-roles and Pearl were moving him towards that kind of typecasting; Superman will be a burden especially because this Superman looks to be of the “Well golly Lois” variety.

Yeah I heavily agree. I think he's pretty much like a modern day version of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. I mean that technically he could be "star material" but he's still severely lacking something and probably won't leave a lasting impression.

Oh he’s married?

Oh he’s gonna bomb. Watch.

An actor like Jack Quaid will have a bigger career. Yes, Quaid is a nepo baby x2, but he does have a certain charisma that Corenswet lacks.

James Gunn's contribution to Corenswet's career will be turning a really beautiful guy into "Reacher- Season 2."

(Though Zach Snyder started the Superman as big Muscleman concept.)

[quote] (Though Zach Snyder started the Superman as big Muscleman concept.)

Interestingly enough, the person responsible for making superheroes look like the Gold’s Gym mascot was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Superheroes exploded in size once he became popular. He-Man, easily the most muscular of the eighties superheroes, was based on Conan the Barbarian.

Before Arnold/ After Arnold

More psychotic pictures. More celebrity stalking.. More mental illness on display.

R72 I notice a fixation with mental illness in a lot of your posts

Did you feel ostracized after your own mental illness diagnosis?

I am here to listen if you need me.

He makes Cavill seem charismatic.

Every Superman has lacked the “it.” Even Christopher Reeve.

He was just pretty.

Tom Welling was an underrated Superman.

Welling if I believe I remember correctly never actually played “Superman.” He only played Clark Kent. It had to do with legal reasons IIRC.

R77, that's incorrect. The "Smallville" producers chose the show's "no tights, no flying" policy even before the first episode aired, albeit presumably as insisted by the higher-ups at DC. It wasn't a legal issue, and the series finale ended with a flash-forward showing Clark turning into Superman. He even wore the same suit Brandon Routh had in "Superman Returns"! (as a budget-saving measure, but still)

AND they threw in the iconic score from the OG "Superman" movie when he leapt off the roof of the Daily Planet & turned into Superman.

[quote] He even wore the same suit Brandon Routh had in "Superman Returns"! (as a budget-saving measure, but still)

A wise choice.

He was not shown wearing the suit in a full shot. It was just a closeup where he opened his shirt.

Is it pronounced “corn sweat”?

It’s pronounced “Heck-lin”.

Assuming he’s of German Jewish extraction it is properly pronounced Corensvet.

I always thought it sounded like some kind of agricultural problem that farmers had to deal with.

It's pronounced GORGEOUS.

This shot released by DC films makes sense now

Corenswet is showing signs of gynecomastia, which is a side effect of steroid use

This is how his nipples looked before

Based on R17’s photo, back in the day we used to call that “Topher Grace.”

He has all the looks and excitement of an LA dog walker.

R38, the way that Superman costume fits him, I’d say he was the understudy.

R41, Ben Platt is a pretty low bar.

Christopher Reeve is the only Superman.

Eldergays don’t you ever get tired of living in the past?

I'm usually a Muscle Mary, but he's one of the rare instances of men who looked better before packing on muscle.

Whoever is training him doesn't seem to understand how differing bodies and where/how muscles connect impact overall aesthetics, symmetry, and balance. Looks more like a "bigger is good" type trainer.

In addition to gyno, he also appears to be developing roid gut.

David Overswet

God, he looks terrible with all that muscle. He was gorgeous at R88.

R87 he also has the facial bloat that comes with steroids

And on top of all that, he skips leg day

It looks like he has a huge dick.

He has no ass though.

See in that picture above you can see how his nipples are pretty flat against his chest

Now they got so puffy you can even see it in distance shots

He may not even remove his shirt in Superman

He just doesn't look good bulked up.

He's not as pretty as Cavill.

I would gladly eat his non-existent ass.

David has naturally small nipples as you can see in the picture at R88. This is typically a sign that a man has high levels of testosterone. Unfortunately, the gynecomastia from the steroid use is irreversible, and his nipples will never look like that again.

He’s dull as ditchwater.

Unfortunately the surgery for this requires scarring at the edge of the aureole

Phenomenally stupid of him to do this when all his previously cast roles required him to take his shirt off.

When Cavill was cast they got an elite trainer for him, the trainer asked him if he would like to use steroids to get into shape and Cavill said no, and the trainer said that if Cavill had said yes, he would have refused to train him.

Obviously, costs were cut in this situation.

Eat dirt and die, trash.

[quote]Unfortunately the surgery for this requires scarring at the edge of the aureole

That tiktok was either from an extreme case (like Ryan Idol had) or from a bad surgery.

The surgery is usually done with very limited visible scarring.
