David Corenswet Is the "Square" Superman?! Gunn Explains His Bold Take May 01, 2025

Show notes

🦸‍♂️ James Gunn Calls Superman A Square?! 🦸‍♂️ On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we're diving into James Gunn's latest comments about Superman and why he proudly calls the Man of Steel — and star David Corenswet — a "square." But what exactly does that mean? And how does it signal a return to the more classic, sincere version of Superman we haven't seen since the days of Christopher Reeve?

Gunn discusses what drew him to Corenswet for the role, citing the actor's "playful charm" and old-school sensibilities, including his love for Dean Martin and Cole Porter. We also break down new behind-the-scenes details about Mr. Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, and what his expanded role in the upcoming Superman (2025) film could mean for the DC Universe.
