About Superman
The film explores the journey of Clark Kent, portrayed by David Corenswet, as he grapples with his Kryptonian heritage and his life in Smallville with his adoptive family. Alongside David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult will take on the iconic role of Lex Luthor. The film earned positive reviews upon release, with fans loving David in the iconic role.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “This is a young Superman, just three years into owning his powers in front of the world. James Gunn and Corenswet do well to bring the character's inexperience and naivete to the fore. You realise that he may be the most powerful being on the planet, but he is also a lost and confused Millennial (almost a Gen Z even), dealing with the same issues of love, career, and identity.”
