The first look at David Corenswet as the lead hero in James Gunn’s Superman has been revealed, and now a new look at the actor’s impressive physical transformation to play the DC Universe’s Kal-El has been shared. Despite having started filming in February, Gunn managed to keep the Superman suit a secret until now, with the reveal likely coming ahead of outdoor filming, so the first look at David Corenswet’s Superman did not come through set photos. Corenswet went through quite the workout routine to achieve his Superman look, and a new photo spotlights his physical journey.

Corenswet, however, has an advantage over Cavill, as the DCU Superman is a few inches taller than the DCEU star. Corenswet stands at 6’4″, while Cavill’s height reaches the 6’1″ mark. As one of the two tallest actors to have ever played the Man of Steel in live-action and looking very similar to Cavill’s impressive Superman physique, there is a chance that throughout Gunn’s Superman and his future DCU appearances, Corenswet will cement himself as the most physically imposing Superman star yet.
