To help promote Superman’s HBO Max debut, James Gunn posted a silly photo of the film’s star, David Corenswet, doing his best impression of Sara Sampaio’s Eve Teschmacher character. The image has Corenswet looking delightfully dopey alongside a flat screen featuring Superman in a power pose. If you’ve been waiting for Superman to hit HBO Max, you’re likely as happy as Corenswet looks in Gunn’s new photo. Isn’t he adorable?
I saw Superman during its opening weekend and thought it was awesome. It’s a bold, bright, and bombastic take on the legendary superhero, and after settling into David Corenswet’s version of the Last Son of Krypton, I was all in. So far, Gunn’s version of Superman embodies much of what I love about the character, and I’m excited to see how Supes evolves over the next decade.
