Next year will see the debut of James Gunn's Superman, featuring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. Not only will Superman — alongside Creature Commandos — launch Gunn and Peter Safran's new slate for DC Studios, but it also signals a resurgence of superhero stories on the big screen . What fans may not know is that Corenswet wasn't the only person who auditioned for Clark Kent.
