David Corenswet joins the DC Universe as the newest Superman. But, he hails far from Krypton or Clark Kent's adopted Smallville, Kansas home, as he actually grew up in Center City Philadelphia.

David Corenswet is the latest actor to fill the Man of Steel's trunks. The "Superman" star goes deep on his caring nature, fatherhood and cereal.

A new Superman is coming to theaters on Friday, and David Corenswet dons the red cape in this outing. Corenswet, a Philadelphia native, shared via “CBS This Morning” what drew

"Looking like they just escaped a boyband bootcamp and got styled by a hyper-caffeinated fashion intern — serving abs, attitude, and accidental icons."

Superman star David Corenswet has found his real-life Lois Lane. The latest actor to step into the role of the caped Kryptonian married actress Julia Best Warner in March 2023. The pair reside in his hometown of Philadelphia with their 1-year-old daughter, per an April 2025 Time profile.

Before the release of his breakout movie, Superman, the Philly-raised actor was seen walking around with some important gear. In one of his latest Instagram posts, Corenswet wore a pair of light gray dress pants and a white tank top with a sweater tied across his chest. But his bag was the true statement piece.

Philadelphia plays a major role in the new "Superman" movie, though not in terms of setting. (Sorry, the caped crusader doesn't fly by the Linc.) The region can claim several cast members, including the starring superhero.
