David Corenswet would like to see his Superman in a RAT investigative style project like Lanterns

David CorenswetThe Superman could be the brilliant heart, boy scout of James GunnDCu, but this does not mean that it is chained in sun rays and smiles.

In a recent interview with Nerdist, the actor behind The Man of Tomorrow has opened on the creative possibilities within the new large universe of Gunn, and is ready to lengthen the Superman beyond traditional borders. This includes the assignment in more gritting and classified lands R. Corenswet said:

“One thing that excites me so much about James’ vision for the DCU are the different genres and tones that films can take on. And I know that people are skeptical about the fact that some genres and characters can mix.

“I would like to see this Superman in a R-Ad project. In a detective, you know, in something like the lanterns, where it is a real detective sensation. I just think that this version of the character can happen despite how bright and playful.”

It is an unexpected but intriguing suggestion. So far, Superman has been described as an interpretation of hope and classic of the hero, Gunn himself has called it a “sincere” and “sincere” story that leans on the mythical side of superhero fiction.

Corenswet’s mockery was made fun of as “bright and playful”. But now, the opening of the actor to put that version of Superman in something more intense, like the imminent HBO Lantern Series, it could suggest where things are directed.

It is also interesting that Corenswet has been slender Lantern not reproduced. DC Studios has confirmed that the show will follow Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) in a rooted mystery in noir style inspired by Real detective. But this is the first time that I heard him make fun of him as a R-RAD project.

And maybe that crossover arrives earlier than expected.

Pacifier Season 2, which is confirmed as TV-but, hits HBO Max just a month later Superman lands in cinemas. Gunn has already made fun of a huge cameo towards the end of the season. Could Superman crash to the party? Perhaps!

Threads are already there with Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), both present in Superman, are destined to appear Pacifier. The show also includes Rick Flag Sr.Frank Grillo), who has a role in Superman Also.

That it is a short stop Pacifier or a future apparition in LanternOne thing is clear, the DCU will most likely not cancel Superman in a tone or a genre.

Superman will arrive in the cinemas of 11 July. Peacemaker Season 2 in preview on August 21st. The lanterns will debut in 2026.
