David Corenswet is generating serious buzz—not just as the new Superman, but as Hollywood’s newest heartthrob. With his chiseled features, commanding presence, and charitable spirit, David Corenswet is fast becoming a symbol of hope, grace, and quiet strength.

Born in Philadelphia in 1993, Corenswet trained at Juilliard after a brief stint at the University of Pennsylvania. He gained fame through Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series The Politician (2019–2020) and Hollywood (2020), where he was praised for both his leading man looks and his magnetic screen presence. In 2022, he starred in Pearl and Look Both Ways, followed by 2024’s Twisters and Lady in the Lake. Known for his grounded, family-first image—he married in 2023 and became a father in 2024—Corenswet has crafted a persona that feels refreshingly real, extending far beyond the spotlight of celebrity.

While he hasn’t snagged major awards yet, Corenswet earned significant critical attention for Hollywood, with Men’s Health and IndieWire describing him as a breakout talent. In 2023, he officially became Superman in James Gunn’s highly anticipated reboot. At the premiere at the TCL Chinese Theater on July 7, 2025, which also featured stars like Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan, Corenswet was a standout—charming and dressed to impress.

In Gunn’s Superman, set to release today, July 11, Corenswet plays Clark Kent/Superman opposite Brosnahan’s Lois Lane and Hoult’s Lex Luthor. Gunn reportedly chose him from a pool of 30 contenders after a standout audition. The film promises a return to a more hopeful and emotionally grounded version of the iconic hero.

While gearing up for the global release of Superman, David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and the cast made a meaningful stop in the Philippines—not just to promote the film, but to give back. The actors spent time with fans as well as in supporting local organizations that fans have dubbed “local superheroes,” including Angat Buhay and Pawssion Project Foundation. These charities focus on community empowerment and animal welfare, respectively, and received public praise from the stars for their grassroots impact. Corenswet and Brosnahan have also been active in global advocacy, lending their voices to Bola Pra Frente, which supports youth through sports and culture; Iracambi, which focuses on environmental restoration; and CasaNem, a shelter for LGBTQIA+ individuals in Brazil. Their charitable involvement—especially their embrace of causes in the Philippines—underscores their commitment to being more than just on-screen heroes.
