Brandon Perea shares sweet reaction to David Corenswet's 'Superman' casting from the 'Twisters' set

Brandon Perea shared a wholesome video from the Twisters  set featuring Glen Powell, Katy O’Brian, Sasha Bianca Lane, and Harry Hadden-Paton all celebrating the fact that their co-star, David Corenswet, was cast as Superman in DC Studios' first feature film. 

In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.

"BOY, DID HE DELIVER!! GO WATCH SUPERMAN IN THEATERS NOW!! INCREDIBLE MOVIE!! AMAZING PERFORMANCES!! DAVID IS THE BEST SUPERMAN," the actor wrote on Instagram.

"A role like Superman seems like something that everybody would want, and that’s not true," Corenswet told GQ. "There are some people who wouldn’t want that role and who would, if given the opportunity, say no. I am obviously not one of those people. But I certainly tried to think of reasons not to."

"I said from the beginning, If I don’t find Superman, I’m not going to do this movie. Because I knew that this was dependent on the guy that’s playing Superman,” Gunn expressed. "I couldn’t go for someone that didn’t work. I couldn’t go for someone that had the look, but didn’t have the chops. I couldn’t go for someone that had the chops but didn’t have the look. I couldn’t go for someone that had the looks and the chops, but couldn’t do the comedic parts, or couldn’t do the more vulnerable aspects."

Superman is now playing in theaters. The rest of the cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Anthony Carrigan, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Mariìa Gabriela de Fariìa, Wendell Pierce, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell, Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, and Isabela Merced.

Twisters is streaming on Peacock.
