Corenswet [26] or Jacob Elordi [23] are the ones for the job of superman base on both of them will be more experienced in acting when hollywood decide to do another superman movie which probably will be in 2024 or 2025.
I would definitely take a scenario where we have Cavill for guest appearances in the Garcia produced films and Corenswet starring in the standalones.
This is where i'm at as well.
I'm a fan of both.
Whether it's Cavill, Corenswet or someone else, the script is always the key. That's why I'm very interested in the creative team behind the eventual next Superman film and whether they'll provide the necessary material for Superman to shine.
What about Sam Rockwell as Lex? Promise I had the idea before I googled him and saw he had a shaved head at the Golden Globes lol.
I do like flickchick’s idea of Tom Cruise more and more though, especially with it looking like MI:8 could be a capper for those films.
Bradley Cooper too, though not sure if he’s looking for another franchise. He’s got a great relationship with WB.
Corenswet is really the only option. It’s just too obvious.
I’ve talked a lot of **** on Cavill, but I go back and forth on him. I want him to get another chance. So much easier to just continue with him instead of start over. I want to see how he’d do with a more optimistic script.

Corenswet really represents a new, and fresh beginning, something the character of Superman so badly needs. He really just has that certain X factor, that certain je ne said quo, that we need moving forward. The only hope is that WB sees that as well, and decides to moe forward, and not backwards, again.
I agree with you, but I'm also extremely confident now that Cavill's not going anywhere and will be Superman again in multiple movies in the near future. My only hope now is that WB doesn't miss the window on Corenswet completely, because while I think Henry has a solid Superman in him with the right script/direction, I genuinely believe David could be a better Superman than Henry is even capable of on his best day. That's why I'm crossing my fingers that all this multiverse stuff means a reboot with a new Supes can still be in the cards within the next 4-5 years, even with Cavill sticking around.Yeah, even in his brief cameos in The Politician season 2, the dude just SCREAMS Superman to me. I like Cavill too but sadly, the only time I feel has been great as Superman was in Man of Steel, and that film still had a lot of problems (the Caravan of Garbage episode they just did on it hit the nail on the head). Those issues weren’t Henry’s fault but sadly, it was like WB and Snyder learned the wrong lessons from the criticisms and just nuked Superman’s character in BvS. It’s a shame because I still DO believe Cavill could have been the defining Superman for a new generation had he been in more capable hands. But it is what it is.
If Coronswet wasn’t around (or Elordi, for that matter, who doesn’t look as much like Clark but is a VERY good actor from what I’ve seen), then maybe I’d be more open to continuing with Cavill. But as for now, I think it’s just best to move on. He has The Witcher (which I maintain that he’s good in, even if responses to his performance have been mixed) and other stuff like Enola Holmes to look forward to. He’ll be fine. But I think it’s time for someone else to don the red cape.

Totally agree with you about both actors. And yeah, the good thing about Corenswet is that he could play Superman now or in 5 years and it could still work.
Just to throw my 2 cents into the discussion, I've seen his face somewhere, probably on these forums, but I've never actually heard of David Corenswet until just now so obviously I've no idea whether I think he's a good actor.
However just from a visual perspective, I think he certainly has all the facial traits you'd associate with Superman, the biggest issue he has or at least I have with him is probably the same sort of problem Henry Cavill had for his previous Superman auditions in that he just looks too young. I just Googled a picture of him here with some facial hair & he still looks like he's only about 20 and without it he looks even younger.
You honestly could probably recast Cavill now, or keep him, do a Superman trilogy spanning 10 years & if Corenswet's still in mix by 2030/2031 take a look at him then for the next-next reboot to see if he looks like he's at least 25.
God his suit is ****ing horrible. Hoechlin is a good Superman, and he’s obviously ripped, but he really exemplifies why it’s important for Superman to have broad shoulders. The dude is ripped but he looks small in the suit because he doesn’t have broad shoulders like Reeve, Routh, or Cavill.
Best Superman suit is the one in your avvy or Cavill’s
