David Corenswet is the new Superman in James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe.
The latest on-screen iteration of the iconic comic book hero will largely be a workplace origin story, Gunn said when he and fellow DC steward Peter Safran laid out their narrative plans in January. Corenswet, who broke out in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Hollywood,” will play cub reporter Kent at the fictional newspaper The Daily Planet. Brosnahan will be his coworker and co-lead.
Gunn is directing the project from his own screenplay, based on the character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Safran will produce. The project is set for release on July 11, 2025. This is a star-making moment for Corenswet, whose marquee idol looks and Midwestern charm helped him anchor “Hollywood,” where he played an aspiring actor moonlighting as a sex worker in buttoned up 1930s. He earned widespread acclaim for his breakout performance in Netflix’s “The Politician,” as well as the celebrated horror indie “Pearl” from A24. He also wrote, directed and starred in the web sketch comedy series “Moe & Jerryweather.
Brosnahan has a well-established profile and a mantle full of golden trophies for her work on Amazon’s long-running “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She broke out in Netflix’s “House of Cards.” She recently starred opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Lionsgate’s “The Courier,” and alongside Christoph Waltz and Willem Dafoe in director Walter Hill’s 2022 western “Dead For a Dollar.”
