Apparently, David Corenswet’s Superman test totally ruined an iconic part of Henry Cavill’s Superman story

Superman is an iconic part of both comic book and film history. When James Gunnpp Superman flying next yearit will be the fourth time a film actor has donned the red cape of the Man of Steel. BHut the star i upcoming DC movieDavid Corenswet didn’t get there without doing some damage to the era that came before him. Apparently, a Superman costume worn by Henry Cavill did not survive the screen tests.

In a recent appearance on Damn podcast the actor Tom Brittney, whom we knew one finalist for the role of Supermantalked about his screen testing experience for the role of Superman, which will be released James Gunn’s new DCU franchise on the big screen. Since there wasn’t a new Superman suit for him to wear, he wore one that Henry Cavil had used and says he tore it up a bit when he got into it. Asked further ThreadsGunn confirmed the story, revealing that when the chosen Superman, David Corenswet, tried on the suit, it was in “pieces”. Gunn said…

Yes. Tom messed with it and then Corenswet came in and he was way too tall so it just ripped. BTW, Tom is truly one of my favorite actors. Incredibly talented guy.

It is quite fitting that David Cornswet and others used one Henry Cavill Superman costume for their screen test. Cavill himself used a costume worn by Christopher Reeve for his screen test when he was cast as Superman for Man of steel. One assumes that whenever we get another Superman on the big screen, they will use the costume worn by David Correnswet in this new franchise.

Superhero costumes are tailored to the people who wear them so it’s honestly not a shock that a costume would get some wear and tear from being put on and off people repeatedly, a process that Tom Brittney said took about 30 minutes. Corenswet’s injury was apparently due to him being so much taller. It was likely not expected that the suit would survive.

In a follow-up comment, James Gunn makes it clear that this was “a” Superman suit that Cavill wore, not Superman’s costume. There have obviously been many of them made over the years, and there are almost certainly others that are still in good shape. Gunn also says that the one they used wasn’t in good shape to begin with, which is probably why it was used.

Regardless of that fact, there are, unsurprisingly, a lot of very upset people in the comments. This despite the fact that in the past The DC big screen universe falteredit had many fans, and Henry Cavill’s Superman specifically was quite popular. Many lament the destruction of one of Cavill’s costumes.
