The anticipation surrounding Superman: Legacy has reached a fever pitch, especially given that it marks the inception of James Gunn’s revamped DC universe. The movie will reportedly start its production in March 2024 and has been shrouded in curiosity, particularly regarding the new face stepping into the legacy left by Henry Cavill. Given Cavill’s status as the best Superman since Christopher Reeve, fans doubted if any other actor was capable of filling his shoes. However, it seems that David Corenswet might turn the tables for good.

The recently dropped images of David Corenswet strongly convey the actor is giving his all to the iconic role. David Corenswet went through a massive transformation for Superman. A few pictures of the star surfaced on the web, clicked by photographer Annie Watt, showcasing his bulked-up physique that he developed to fit into the character of Superman. He almost looked unrecognizable in pictures but also carried a strong resemblance to the former Superman, Henry Cavill. 

This is not the first time Corenswet’s resemblance to Henry Cavill has been discussed. The actors boast not only the same height, chiseled jawline, thoughtful eyes, and dark hair, but also a similar physicality. It has also been reported that Corenswet has taken extensive training to step into the role of Kal-El in Superman: Legacy. This unbelievable transformation shows the actor’s dedication to carrying the torch passed down by Cavill. 

Seeing the new pictures, fans are in awe of David Corenswet’s incredible transformation and flooded the comments expressing their shock.
