David Corenswet: Soaring Beyond Superman – His Next Big Role!
David Corenswet's Post-Superman Plans: From Krypton to the Gridiron!
David Corenswet is officially the new Superman! This dude’s career exploded; getting this iconic role for James Gunn's new DC Universe movie (out July 2025). But even before his debut as the Man of Steel, Corenswet had been working hard. Since his acting debut back in 2018 he guest-starred in shows like Ryan Murphy's The Politician and Hollywood, making a big splash with A24's horror flick Pearl (2022), followed by that great supporting role in Twisters (2023). He's totally about to become a major star. However, what could be next?
Get this: He's already lined up his next big project—and it's a total change of pace! According to Deadline, Corenswet will star in Mr. Irrelevant, a sports movie, as John Tuggle—the last pick in the 1983 NFL Draft. Directed by Jonathan Levine (who did 50/50, Warm Bodies, The Night Before, Snatched, and Long Shot) and scripted by Emmy-nominated Nick Santora (Most Dangerous Game), this one already has impressive creative talent onboard, showcasing a much more serious effort, a very capable production, and talented directors!
Mr. Irrelevant: A New Challenge for the Next Superman
Corenswet's got that impressive trajectory, securing Superman first then jumping straight to Mr. Irrelevant! After finishing Superman, he scouted scripts before meeting Levine. The inspiration is very interesting— it’s about the inspirational John Tuggle—this was a massive pick from the New York Giants, a guy with this lasting effect on teammates. This inspiring story of underdog triumph; an amazing inspiration story. This highlights the kinds of challenges for which Corenswet himself might have to overcome to survive.
While there is another "Mr. Irrelevant" (Kelvin Kirk, 1976), it’s Tuggle’s story they want to tell, making this selection important in setting up a specific plot. It really stands out because this new opportunity was carefully chosen for many, very intelligent and well-planned reasons. This carefully constructed narrative will involve Corenswet navigating a situation significantly distinct from his Superman persona. His acceptance of this role and the challenges involved makes him an intriguing new actor.
Why Mr. Irrelevant Is a Smart Career Move
Landing Superman is massive, yet Corenswet smartly picks roles outside that new DC Universe; diversifying his filmography and his acting skillset to avoid becoming typecast! He does not only want a continued career but one of lasting diversity.
Many actors struggle breaking free from those big superhero roles. Chris Evans (Captain America) faced challenges initially. Corenswet, though, takes the smarter approach; showing his range and capabilities and the diversity in acting talent. He displays exactly the level of maturity and ambition needed in someone in this position and is therefore extremely highly capable, despite not yet making this legendary impact he promises. We shall soon see how long he remains at that point.
Conclusion: Corenswet's Future Looks Bright (and Diverse!)
David Corenswet isn’t only ambitious, folks – his selection choices make clear the type of creative risks, and challenges which the talented actor seems genuinely ready and willing to tackle for himself. He is not merely seeking recognition for one role, but lasting success through immense diversity. His decision to star in Mr. Irrelevant shows his versatility and long-term vision, establishing himself as much more than just Superman. He's aiming high—and his future is wide open, exciting and clearly already set toward amazing success! That is the only way he can realistically maintain his own legacy as a supremely capable actor. We are excited!
