David Corenswet, recently cast as Superman in James Gunn's new film, has shared that he exchanged letters with former Superman actors Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. Both Cavill, known for his role in "Man of Steel," and Hoechlin, star of the television series "Superman & Lois," were supportive yet declined to offer specific advice on portraying the iconic character. Corenswet described their response as very much in line with Superman's persona, with the actors expressing that they were "not gonna try to give you any tips" and encouraging him to "have fun with" the role. This exchange highlights a respectful passing of the torch among the actors who have portrayed Superman. The film "Superman" was released on July 11, 2025, with notable voice cast members including Shunsuke Takeuchi, Atsumi Tanezaki, and Shintaro Asanuma for the Japanese dubbed version.
