Slated for release in 2025 by Warner Bros., the film has already garnered attention from various Hollywood trade publications.
Joining Corenswet in this superhero extravaganza is Rachel Brosnahan, widely recognized for her outstanding performance in the Emmy-winning comedy series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
Brosnahan is set to portray the beloved character Lois Lane, further adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.
Throughout the years, notable actors such as Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, and Henry Cavill have donned the famous red cape, each leaving an indelible mark on the character.
Cavill, known for his portrayal in films like "Man of Steel," briefly reprised the role in the post-credits scene of last year's "Black Adam."
Aside from Corenswet's breakthrough role in "Hollywood," audiences have enjoyed his performances in the Netflix series "The Politician," the HBO drama "We Own This City," and the chilling horror film "Pearl."
