Corenswet takes over for Henry Cavill, who had played the role in what was known as the DCEU, which effectively ended with last year’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” The fresh start paved the way for something new. Namely, Gunn and Peter Safran’s ambitious new DC Universe slate, which could keep Corenswet busy for years to come. Because there was some crossover between the time that the actor was filming “Twisters” and when he landed the lead in “Superman,” things bled over just a bit on set. Chung revealed that Corenswet went full superhero while filming a particular scene.

“When we filmed the moment where [Anthony Ramos] drives the truck away from him and splashes him with mud, David, in one of the takes, turned to the camera really angry and he ripped his shirt off. (Laughs.) So it was kind of a meta moment for me when I saw that behind the monitor. I was seeing him doing what he’ll probably be doing in [‘Superman (2025)’], but for us, it was obviously much more angry. He was [the character of] Scott, but I love that his mind might’ve been a little bit Superman there.”

Fortunately, it looks like this movie is only going to help build anticipation for Corenswet’s debut as Superman. “Twisters” has been met with very favorable reviews, including from /Film’s Jeremy Mathai. It’s poised to provide the actor with a little bit of blockbuster experience under his belt before he takes center stage next summer as one of the world’s oldest, most beloved superheroes. No pressure.

Corenswet stars alongside Glen Powell (“Anyone But You”), Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Fresh”), Kiernan Shipka (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Anthony Ramos (“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”), Maura Tierney (“The Iron Claw”), Sasha Lane (“Hellboy”), and Katy O’Brian (“Love Lies Bleeding”). Mark L. Smith (“The Revenant”) penned the screenplay.

“Twisters” is in theaters now.
