Behind the Scenes

• Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman in the DC Universe is the twelfth live-action incarnation of the character, following incarnations portrayed by Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Johnny Rockwell, David Wilson, Christopher Reeve, John Haymes Newton, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, and Tyler Hoechlin.
• Superman director James Gunn commented on Threads that Clark in the movie is "a thirty-year-old full-on reporter".
• Superman producer Peter Safran proclaimed that the film portrays Superman as "the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way." He further added that "he's kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned."
• Prior to his casting for the DC Universe, David Corenswet said in 2019 that he wanted to play Superman.
• Before David Corenswet's casting, James Gunn looked for an actor who possessed the character's humanity, kindness, and compassion, and was "somebody who you want to give a hug."
  • Amongst the contenders for adhering to the role of Superman were David Corenswet, Jacob Elordi, Tom Brittney, and Andrew Richardson. Nicholas Hoult, who now portrays Lex Luthor, pursued the role as well. Jack Quaid, who voiced Superman in My Adventures with Superman, auditioned as well.
  • Jacob Elordi turned down the role, saying it was "too dark".
• James Gunn decided not to focus on Superman's origin in the DCU due to it already being commonly known.
