David Corenswet’s Clark Kent Look Seemingly Revealed In New Images

Summary

• New behind-the-scenes images may hint at David Corenswet as Clark Kent in
  Superman
  (2025).
• James Gunn leads DC Universe reset with Corenswet as the Man of Steel post-Henry Cavill.
• Corenswet’s potential Clark Kent appearance mirrors Henry Cavill’s Superman, sparking confusion.

New behind-the-scenes images offer insight into what Clark Kent may look like in Superman (2025). The original DC Extended Universe officially ended with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in 2023, leaving Peter Safran and James Gunn to launch the DC Universe reset in 2025. David Corenswet will lead the universe’s theatrical premiere as the DCU’s Man of Steel.

Gunn has been open about the plot of the upcoming Superman movie, but Corenswet’s Clark Kent has not yet been revealed. New images captured on the Con Yucatán Facebook page, however, have shown what may be Corenswet’s depiction of Clark Kent. Dressed in a black tank top and shorts, Corenswet’s appearance is so similar to Henry Cavill’s take on Superman that Corenswet was confused for him by the photographer. The images may not be entirely related to Superman, however, as some reports indicate that Corenswet was simply filming an advertisement in Mexico.

The DCU Needs To Focus On Clark Kent

The DCEU Didn’t Focus On Superman’s Other Side Enough

After Man of Steel, the DCEU never featured Clark Kent in much depth. Superman shined in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, but the DC hero is more than his costume. Bruce Wayne is the mask that hides Batman, but Superman is Clark’s mask. The character is intrinsically tied to his life as a humble reporter hoping to capture Lois Lane’s attention and love. The DCEU failed to honor that side of Superman, but the DC Universe has the opportunity to depict Clark Kent properly and in-depth.

Every movie and show in the DCU will be used to introduce new versions of their titular characters without immediately moving to a gigantic team-up movie. That gives Corenswet the time to develop Clark into a genuine and relatable character. He has the opportunity to make Clark Kent into an integral aspect of a cinematic universe for the first time. Instead of depicting Superman as a strong and faultless character, he can play the clumsy Clark struggling to balance the two sides of his life. It would allow for an easy transition to a younger and less experienced Superman.

Man of Steel
is available for streaming on Max.

The new behind-the-scenes look is likely simply a series of still captures from an advertisement, but it does offer insight into Corenswet’s Clark. He appears to be playing a simple and down-to-earth character, which is exactly what Clark needs to be. Corenswet is ready to take over the role, and the photographer confusing him of the DCEU’s Superman is further proof of that. If he can master both sides of Superman, Corenswet will be an excellent addition to the DCU.
