Superman Director James Gunn told David Corenswet to "Shut the fuck up!"

David Corenswet and James Gunn formed a one-of-a-kind relationship as the director and star of “Superman,” some of which they detailed in the actor’s recent GQ cover story. Gunn auditioned some 400 actors to play his Man of Steel. Corenswet showed up on the first day of Gunn’s search.

“I think in a lot of ways, James and I are made for each other,” Corenswet told the publication. “James has this habit of, as you’re working on the scene, he’ll sit back by the monitors on the God mic and he’ll yell directions at you, which is not how directors generally work. You usually do the scene, they say cut, and then they come and say very privately and quietly, ‘I loved that moment where you did this. What if we tried something else in the next one?’”

Corenswet said Gunn’s yelling “is something that would throw lots of actors off, and understandably so.” But not him.

“The second that happened, I went, OK, this is going to be great because I have no idea what I’m doing. I desperately need a director,” the actor admitted. “I need a director who knows what they want and is willing to say it out loud without too much politeness and without beating around the bush. If I’m no good, tell me I’m no good, and then let’s work together to make me good.”

Corenswet said this push and pull came to define his relationship with Gunn, especially when it came to the amount of questions the actor asked during production.

“After we finished shooting, we were hanging out and [James] affectionately — I think — described me,” Corenswet said. “He said a very nice thing: ‘You’re a filmmaker, and so you want to be involved in the filmmaking and you want to help make the film as good as possible.’ Then he said, ‘I think you’re also like a kid sticking his finger in light sockets and sometimes I gotta slap you on the wrist and say stop fucking doing that.’”

Gunn had this to say about Corenswet: “Sometimes his questions are great, and I totally see where they make him better, and because they make him better, they make the movie better. But every once in a while, it’s just one question too many, and it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, just, David, stop, stop, for a minute.’ And the beautiful thing about me and David is that he knows that about himself and he knows where my limits are. And when I say, ‘David, shut the fuck up,’ David totally gets it and does not take that personally.”

“We have a really, to me, beautiful relationship in that way because I’m used to being very sensitive with actors, and you have to be by default, because many actors are incredibly sensitive because they’re putting their emotions on the line onscreen,” Gunn summarized. “But with David, he’s not that way. He’s not sensitive like that.”

Why is Lex Luthor taller than Superman?

Lex's ass is much bigger and rounder, too.

How many days until James Gunn is canceled for verbal abuse?

Who is the top in that relationship?

This is the FIRST David Corenswet/Superman thread that I have EVER posted on Datalounge.

YOU are the fucking "Aspie lunatic," R5.

Not to mention a psycho stalker, hall monitor, and overall miserable fucking CUNT.

Is this thread brought to us by the same anti-Superman queen?…

r6 there are 500 threads on this shit already, can't you post in one of those instead of creating Thread # 501 on this stupid shit movie for kids? JFC

I couldn’t find any other threads on this.

Language, R6!

David Corenswet is so handsome.

I can see why he was chosen for the role.

He has a very British look to him, even though he was born in Pennsylvania.

He looks like he could also play James Bond.

David should never shave his head.

It makes him look dull and common.

And kind of weird, actually.

No one should shave their heads.

Excuse me?

James Gunn is a creep. He threw a pedophile priest Halloween party and got fired for posting a million tweets about fucking children. He’s disturbed and a total hack.

[quote] David should never shave his head.

More importantly, he should never shave his face. When he does, he loses 90% of his AlphaMale qualities. Even as the Kent/Superman character, he comes across like an evangelical cuck.

Interesting that David yelled at Nicholas Hoult to shut the fuck up recently. The abused become the abuser. It’s learned behavior, a vicious cycle.
