Zack Sharf Digital News Director David Corenswet is officially the new Superman, which is a dream come true for the actor. Literally. Back in 2019, Corenswet was promoting his supporting role in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix limited series “Hollywood” when he told Entertainment Weekly that his biggest acting goal was “definitely to play Superman.” Here we are four years later and now he’s Superman. The actor also said he was aware of his similar looks to Henry Cavill, who played Superman in three movies directed by Zack Snyder. “It came to my attention before the internet got a hold of me,” Corenswet told EW at the time about comparisons to Cavill. “But my pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman. I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”

K.J. Yossman Anya Chalotra has enchanted “The Witcher” audience as Yennefer of Vengerberg for two seasons, and reprises the role again in Season 3 — this time promising a “new phase” for the sorceress.

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell has revealed that Henry Cavill could have been an “excellent” James Bond “if Daniel [Craig] didn’t exist”.Speaking to Express UK, Campbell, who led the Craig-starring James Bond reboot with Casino Royale, revealed that Cavill – now most famous for playing Superman and Geralt in The Witcher – had auditioned for the 007 franchise but was “a little young at the time”.
