After intelligence broke that David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have been cast as Superman and Lois Lane , interviews feature both of them talk about the characters resurface online .
In case you missed it, weofficiallyhave a new Clark Kent/Superman and LoisLane.
Yesterday, Warner Bros. and DCannouncedthatDavid CorenswetandRachel Brosnahanwill be assuming the roles of Clark and Lois in the upcoming movieSuperman: Legacy.
David and Rachel’s casting comes after a shake-up at DC Studios, withJames Gunnand Peter Safran beinghiredto lead the film, TV, and animation divisions as the studio looks to revamp the DC Cinematic Universe.
Notably, this change led to DC basically looking to start over with their movies, and with that came the need to cast new actors for some iconic roles, like Superman, with Gunn reportedly wanting to find a “younger actor in the lead role” forSuperman: Legacy.
So enter David and Rachel, who will assume the roles inSuperman: Legacy, which will be written by James. After news broke of the casting, Jamestweeted, “They are not only both incredible actors, but also wonderful people.”
And now that David and Rachel are officially going to play Clark and Lois, old interviews of the duo talking about loving these characters have resurfaced online.
First, way back in 2019, Entertainment WeeklyaskedDavid about people comparing him to Henry Cavill — I mean, they really do look similar.
This led to David sharing that his dream role would be to play Clark Kent/Superman.
“My pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman,” he said. “I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman].”
He continued, “I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”
David’s thoughts on Superman actually go hand-in-hand with Gunn and Safran’s vision forSuperman: Legacy,with Safrandescribingthe movie, saying, “It’s not an origin story. It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness is old-fashioned.”
Also, a lot of fans havepointed outhow David already gives off Clark Kent (Tom Welling) fromSmallvillevibes.
Meanwhile, a morerecent interview with Rachelhas resurfaced where she addressed the Lois Lane casting rumors and talked about how much she adores the character.
While onThe Viewpromoting the final season ofThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Rachel said, “It would be extraordinary.”
She continued, saying, “I grew up watching Lois Lane. This incredibly talented journalist who is far from a damsel in distress. And…I would jump at the chance if it arose.”
I can’t wait to see David and Rachel’s takes on these iconic characters — I personally love the idea of a return to a less gritty Superman and Lois Lane — whenSuperman: Legacyhits theaters.
