As for that woman: Gunn says the chemistry between Corenswet and Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan was palpable from day one. Or, more specifically, days one and two: “We shot the 12-minute interview scene with Lois and Clark. That was 10 percent of the movie in two days. And to see the energy and magic between him and Rachel was awesome, not to mention how incredibly prepared they both were. It was a huge relief.”
And Corenswet does tell me about Krypto, Superman’s fluffy, caped dog whose trailer debut marked the arrival of a warmer, fuzzier DC. A dog named Jolene stood in for the superpet. She always trotted onto set to the tune of Dolly Parton’s iconic song. The final version will be largely CGI—the trailer features Krypto dragging Superman across a frozen tundra, a feat that even Jolene couldn’t pull off. When I press for further plot details Corenswet is genuinely apologetic: he has no idea what will appear in the final cut.
Nor does he seem to feel particularly anxious about it. While Gunn told journalists who visited set that the pressure was making him “miserable,” Corenswet didn’t sweat it. “What’s the pressure? Pressure to be good? I definitely want to be good,” he says. “But I’m not directing the movie. I give James puzzle pieces, and he gets to pick which one goes in which place. I can’t take on the responsibility that James took on of delivering a Superman film to the masses. But James is the right person to do it.”
Great little profile. I am actively cheering for this movie to be awesome. I love what I’ve seen so far.
