The stylists humorously put him in Clark Kent glasses confirming he’d be perfect for the role. Granted the James Gunn film is shaping up to be a trainwreck.

He looks more like Clark Kent than Henry Cavill whose Clark Kent just looked like Superman with glasses

R2 James Gunn is adding all these tertiary DC characters instead of just concentrating on Clark, Lois and the Superman cannon

^"The parts are better than the hole." That's what I thought too, till David Corenswet "auditioned". He was much more co-operative than this Elordi or that big bitch Cavill. Gawd!

David Corenswet looks so similar to Cavill that “Henry Cavill from Shein” trended on Twitter when the casting was announced.

While I don't doubt that he was in the running, I seriously doubt he got offered the role and turned it down.

From what the various "insider" reports say, it was always Corenswet's to lose.

He says he was asked to read and turned it down. He never said it was offered to him a la Josh Hartnett or Chris Evans.

What r19 said. If you actually read the article it says clear as day they wanted him to audition for Superman, not that he was offered the role.

I find his claim that he's obsessed with the Brando/McQueen era of Hollywood and simultaneously that he'd never heard of Elvis outside of Lilo and Stitch hard to believe. If you're so obsessed with the classic Hollywood that you're reading books about that time, how is it even remotely possible you somehow avoid hearing even tangentially about Elvis?

On the last movie he watched

[quote]“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” he says excitedly. “I've seen that movie four times. That movie is so funny. Those kids, I think they're so hilarious. It’s super, super meticulous and well thought-out. In the hotels, it's been my comfort movie.”

On superhero movies

I have been alive 48 years. Every Superman is a train wreck. It never takes off. The actors who land the role always end up cursed and never really work again. The franchise is cursed. Why do they keep trying to make it happen? It's not a Batman or Spiderman.

Not to sound pedantic, but it's Spider-Man, with a hyphen and capital M.

They did that deliberately, because otherwise it looks very similar to Superman in print.

"King of Hollywood"?! Oh, my stars! If the $300M Box Office Butler Elvis wasn't dubbed this, the Elordi version ain't deserving. Moreover, the talk of "Priscilla" Oscars, or even nominations, is absurd, and in any case will not compete with the 8 nominations for "Elvis," plus Austin Butler’s GG and BAFTA wins (Hello, Cillian!).

A vengeful movie stemming from the icon's faux-widow's bitterness at her depiction in Baz Luhrmann's film and without the icon's music simply cannot generate the Box Office that "Elvis" did. Or does Priscilla---or Jacob or Sofia---have legions of fans world-wide of whom I'm unaware?

Anyway, Isn't Timothee supposed to be King? 😆
