[Peter] Look up there in the sky! It is a bird? Is it a plane?
No! It's David Corenswet, DC's new Superman in the movies! It's real, official, confirmed.
After many auditions with a long list of actors, James Gunn, the kingpin of DC in theaters, gave the gavel. Henry Cavill left, David Corenswet entered. [Peter singing] But… who is this guy?
Will it work? Why was he chosen? I'm going to introduce you to everything you need to know about the new Superman, why I think he might work, who the new Lois Lane is, what color his underwear is… EVERYTHING!
You will come up with this video, let's go. Hey Nerd, what's up? Peter here!
The road has been a long one this far. David Corenswet will be the SIXTH actor to wear the cape of Superman in theaters. Hey guys, the list is long!
The first one was back in your grandma's time. Kirk Alyn played Superman in two serial movies, which ran between 1948 and 1950. Movie serials, you heard that right!
In your grandma's time, there were series that were shown in the cinema! And no, I didn't do extras at that time! For that, right.
Then, later, we had George Reeves, who made a Superman feature film, in 1951. By the way, I watched that Superman, boy! Hey, I'm telling you!
Gee, it was the potbellied Superman. But I wasn't there watching. But I got to know Superman like that, it was really on, in black and white, with a big belly.
. . my father drinking coffee.
. . I watched a rerun, man!
So, for nearly thirty years, there was no Superman in theaters. Until the unforgettable Christopher Reeve premiered in 1978. There were four films.
No actor has surpassed Christopher Reeve in number of films and, in my opinion, none has surpassed him in terms of talent. The guy was too good, even when the movie was bad. And when I say that the guy is good, why are you thinking: "ah, but how do you compare him with Henry Cavill?
" Because for you, for the younger generation, the reference is Henry Cavill, like Batman is Christian Bale and such. I don't take credit for these guys, they're good as hell. But what happened at the time was a phenomenon!
Like, for us, Christopher Reeve was Superman. hey, you look at Henry Cavill, "hey, it's Geralt of Rivia" the guy is a bunch of characters. But Christopher Reeve was Superman, so much so that in the comics even his image was the copied, cloned image of Christopher Reeve, he was the clone of Superman from the silver age, surreal.
We still had Brandon Ruth, with a movie, in 2006, and then we had Henry Cavill, the second best Superman of all time, in my opinion. Look at the responsibility of this boy, David Corenswet! Does he realize?
That's what we're going to check now. . .
but it's already commenting: did you like this lineup? Before talking about that, look at how you are today, you are like this today, aren't you? You're hostage to a job you don't like, you hate what you do, you think it's boring, it pays you poorly but you can't leave because you need that money, most of the time, like, you can't even afford a living so good.
You need to pierce this bubble, you need to get out of that comfort zone, you are full of chains holding you back. It's bad, right, I know it's bad where you are, but it's warm, right, you're used to it, you don't need to move. .
. Oh, maybe you've forgotten your dreams, your desire to travel the world, to do something you really enjoy. But I'm here to remind you that you can more!
And the best way for you to get out of this prison, this slavery, is to have a channel without appearing on YouTube, exactly! This is the true way for you to conquer time and financial freedom, to never again depend on a salary that barely arrives at the end of the month. If you have the courage to put this monotonous life aside, the courage to live the life you've always wanted, on July 18th I'm going to start a new project, a series of free lives that I'm calling Maratona Fábrica de Liberdade.
In three live classes, you'll discover how to transform YouTube into a machine that generates income for you every day without having to appear in any video, you don't even have to voice your voice if you don't want to, and that way you'll conquer your long-awaited freedom of time, financial and geographic. Tap the link below, it's free, see you there on the 18th to start your path towards freedom, thanks. “Oh Peter, who is this guy, where did he come from?
Peter, it's going to be bad. Hmm, I prefer Henry Cavill. ” Isn't it always like that?
Easy there. First, the actor didn't parachute into the role. Second, when the actor is famous, people complain too.
It was like that with Batman's Ben Affleck, it was like that with Robert Pattinson, as well as Batman. Well, traditionally, Superman is an actor who has yet to make a name for himself. The figure of Superman is a very imposing, very iconic figure.
Hollywood doesn't usually use an already known actor for this role. The idea is that you look at the screen and see Superman, not David Corenswet. Even because Superman doesn't even wear a mask, hood, nothing.
It's his face, the guy is literally giving his face to hit. On the other hand, the idea is always to look for an actor who has potential. And I'll tell you: few "unknown" actors have as much potential as David Corenswet.
The guy has been acting since he was a kid. He has a lot of theater experience and theater tends to strengthen actors. In theater, an actor doesn't have a second chances, there's no such thing as "cut", do it again.
The stuff is live. The interpretation has to be strong the first time. And David Corenswet was doing a Shakespeare play when he was ten!
Ten years old! Hell, At the age of ten I was chasing a kite and this kid was getting goosebumps in the theater, that's not possible! And in front of the screens, Peter?
Keep it up, he also has his work. You may not have seen it, but run after it that the guy has already shown that he's in charge. David Corenswet had important roles in the series Hollywood, The Politician and We Own This City.
In theaters, he kicked ass in Pearl. Everyone only talks about Mia Goth as Pearl's psychopath, but it was David Corenswet, who took over this BO in the film, was the one who tried to clash with the crazy woman. My point is, this guy is a rising talent for sure.
Like, the guy is exploding right now. Another advantage that many people noticed is that David Corenswet is very reminiscent of Henry Cavill. He looks like a younger version of Henry Cavill.
David Corenswet is now 29, while Cavill is already 40. In other words, the transition will be very smooth for anyone who is a fan of Cavill's work. In addition, the new actor has a lot of ground ahead of him.
Do you see the advantage of this? If it works out now, David Corenswet has what it takes to be the DCU's Superman for the next ten, twenty years. “Ah Peter, but he is skinny”.
You know nothing, really. Anyone who has seen Christian Bale get physical to be Batman and Chris Evans become a monster to be Captain America knows very well that this doesn't mean anything. Physical form is gained, it's a trick with uniform, with lighting, even with CGI.
Now, there are two things that can't be cut short: talent and passion. I've already shown here what talent the kid has. And the passion?
Also has. For you to have an idea, back in 2019, David Corenswet was already giving an interview, with his eye on the role of Superman. Four years ago!
Just feel what he said in 2019: “My unimaginable ambition is definitely to play Superman. I would love to see someone do an upbeat Superman revival. I love the dark and gritty version of Henry Cavill, but would love to see the next one be very bright and upbeat.
” My brother! Believe in your dreams! Seeing this sentence, it seems that David Corenswet was prophesying James Gunn's vision.
Looks like the guy had a Minority Report, he knew what was going to happen. What James Gunn wants with this new film is to rescue that comrade Superman, good people as hell, from the Golden Age. In other words, what David Corenswet wanted to do there in 2019 is exactly what James Gunn wants today.
He joined hunger with the desire to eat. In addition to David Corenswet confirmed as Superman, actress Rachel Brosnahan was confirmed as Lois Lane. And here we have a very crazy curiosity.
David is 1. 93 m tall, he is the tallest Superman on screen, tied with Christopher Reeve. I didn't even know that Christopher Reeve is that tall, in fact, I didn't know that David Corenswet is that tall.
Wow, it's high as hell. I'm 1. 81, the crazy guy is here by my side.
But the curiosity is the following, Rachel Brosnahan is the shortest Lois Lane in history, with only 1. 60m. I don't know how they're going to act opposite each other, they're 33 centimeters apart.
. . (hey, this is going to become a meme.
. . but anyway) she's going to have to climb on a stool to kiss the guy.
Anyway, this was just a curiosity. It's a screen record. The fact is that Superman: Legacy only opens in July 2025.
There are still two years to go. I will follow this production and bring you all the news. Now, comment below: what was the best Superman on screen so far, in your opinion?
Movies, series, everything. Let's do a poll here now, worth it, officietion huh! Tap here, subscribe to the channel, activate the bell.
Wow, guys, the things that are happening are too cool. I'm very happy with this new Superman, this new proposal from James Gunn, I think DC fans are getting too much out of James Gunn's entry. A lot of people are sad about the end of the DCEU, but I'm happy with the new DCU that is coming, from James Gunn.
Thanks. See ya, guys! Bye.
