Jack Quaid praises David Corenswet's Superman as hopeful and inspiring in James Gunn's new film
David Corenswet's portrayal of Superman in James Gunn's 2025 film is earning high praise, most recently from Jack Quaid, who voices the Man of Steel in My Adventures with Superman. Sharing his reaction on Threads, Quaid wrote, 'I absolutely loved SUPERMAN! Can't think of the last time a movie gave me so much hope. They did the big blue boy scout proud. I laughed. I cried. People in the audience cheered! A CHEER?! In 2025?! Incredible!' Corenswet, who has previously praised Smallville's Tom Welling and Christopher Reeve's legacy, also received notes of encouragement from Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. Now, Quaid has joined that chorus with a message that resonated with fans. He signed off affectionately: 'Sincerely, Anime Superman 🫡.' Quaid voices Clark Kent in the animated series that explores a younger Superman's early years in Metropolis. His words carry weight not just as a fellow actor but as someone who's embodied the same character in a different medium. The new Superman film has dominated the global box office, tapping into nostalgia while offering a fresh, emotionally grounded take.

What awesome song is playing during Mr. Terrific fight scene in Superman?
Superman had quite the weekend, raking in $217 million worldwide and earning a 93% rating from the audience on Rotten Tomatoes. It's the first DC Universe entry for James Gunn and his new Man of Steel, David Corenswet, and things are off to a hot start for the former Guardians of the Galaxy director. WARNING: Some potentially light spoilers for Superman follow. Outside of the utterly charming Corenswet, there was one performance -- not including the very (not) good boy, Krypto -- that has been attracting a lot of the recent discussion. Edi Gathegi's turn as Mr. Terrific has been universally praised, and the Justice Gang member had one of the best set pieces in the movie. As Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Mr. Terrific attempted to locate Superman, they faced some of Lex Luthor's (Nicholas Hoult) Raptor henchmen. MORE SUPERMAN: 2 cameos had fans thrilled In true Gunn fashion, the needle drop for the moment was absolute perfection. The song "5 Years Time" by Noah and the Whale came out on the band's 2008 Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down album. The poppy, upbeat song with lyrics that say "and it was fun, fun, fun when we were laughing" counterbalanced with Mr. Terrific blowing things up is a wonderful combination. Superman is in theaters now.

2 jaw-dropping 'Superman' cameos made DC fans thrilled
James Gunn's new DC Universe launched this week, with his Superman movie hitting theaters to positive reviews and audience fanfare. This is the first time audiences have been able to see and enjoy David Corenswet as the blue, red, and gold-clad superhero, along with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. MORE SUPERMAN: James Gunn is Sam Raimi's heir apparent As is the case with a lot of comic book movies, Superman had both post-credit scenes and a couple of fun cameos thrown in. WARNING: Spoilers for the new Superman ahead! Proceed at your own risk! The first cameo we get is none other than John Cena as Peacemaker. The wrestler-turned-actor reprised his role from Gunn's 2021 version of The Suicide Squad. In Superman, Peacemaker joined a talk show after the people of Metropolis turned on Superman following the reveal of the true nature of the message sent from his parents when he arrived on Earth. The second cameo is at the very end of the movie, as Supergirl returns to pick up her dog, Krypto. Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) plays Superman's cousin and is the lead for the next DC Universe movie with Supergirl, which is scheduled to release June 26, 2026. Fans loved the Superman cameos

Superman X Reviews: Has James Gunn successfully revived the superhero genre? Here's what netizens have to say
James Gunn's much-anticipated Superman has finally flown into theatres and as expected, the reactions are soaring all over the place. This is Gunn's first major release since taking over as co-head of DC Studios, and after the massive genre-defining success of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), fans were curious to see how he'd handle the Man of Steel. Would he stick the landing? Or crash under sky-high expectations? David Corenswet as Superman About David Corenswet's Superman In this reboot, Superman finds himself at the centre of both international and domestic conflicts, giving longtime nemesis Lex Luthor the perfect opportunity to strike. With the stakes raised, it's up to Lois Lane and Superman's trusty canine, Krypto, to help save the day. David Corenswet dons the cape as Superman this time with The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel's Rachel Brosnahan stepping into the heels of Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult giving us a brooding, villainous Lex Luthor. So… what are fans saying? Let's just say the reactions have been anything but mild-mannered. On the positive end, some viewers are calling it one of the best superhero films of all time. '#Superman is INCREDIBLE. Gunn delivers a triumph... David Corenswet is born to play Superman... walked out of the theatre very happy,' said one viewer, giving it an 8.5/10. Another fan raved, 'THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING, TOP 10 BEST SUPERHERO FILM OF ALL TIME. I BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY WOOOOOOO.' And yet another shared, 'It made me wanna run through a brick wall with the optimism and humanity of it.' People are especially loving Corenswet's performance. 'It has a charm that just makes you smile from ear to ear and that charm is mostly because of David Corenswet as Superman,' one review read. But not everyone was sold on Gunn's vision with many stuck in the middle. 'Alright, SUPERMAN is both great AND awful… one of the best characterisations of Superman in film, and one of the most retarded plots,' a conflicted review read. One viewer added, 'Spoiler Free Superman review: Good. Political. You'll be annoyed walking out, but think about the key lines of the movie and what you actually disagreed with, and then you'll be like... oh! I liked it!' And those who didn't like it, hated it. "My quick review of Superman It's ADHD: The Movie. Pacing is awful, and you feel like you're being spun in a hundred different directions. It never really finds any footing. I wouldn't say I hated it, but I really didn't like it,' said one. Another comment read, 'Just finished watching #Superman probably the worst CBM movie ever made. Even worse than Marvel movies and The Flash. I don't understand a single good review that was given by the YouTube influencers.' While some are hailing it as a powerful reset of the DC universe with a fresh emotional core, others think it's all cape and no clarity. The bottom line? Gunn has taken a bold swing, and whether it soars or sinks seems to depend entirely on your taste.
