Hilarious Fan Reactions

Let’s take a look at some of the funniest reactions the internet had to David Corenswet’s response.

"There are too many expectations from Superman," a user commented.

Well, of course there are too many expectations from Superman. The man has to save the world and make sure his disguise as Clark Kent isn’t blown which he achieves just by combing his hair back and putting on a pair of glasses!

"Excellent answer, if it goes wrong, its the directors fault 🤣," another user joked.

Ah, a genius tactic by David Corenswet - tell everyone that you completely submitted to the director so that just in case the film tanks, no one ends up blaming the actor.

Fans are already convinced this will be the best Superman film ever, and one of them has even planned the perfect way to watch it—on a reclining chair with some delicious snacks and a drink in hand!

"What pressure??" asked a user.

What does David Corenswet mean by feeling pressure? If he is truly stepping into the mind and body of Superman, then he should be invincible to everything, including pressure! Right?

"Who's David Corenswet? Is he wet?" trolled another.

Hmm, if we are to go by this user's assumption that David Corenswet is always wet, then perhaps the actor could have been a better fit for Aquaman instead!

Nobody cares... (via @AkkiZac019 / X)

It seems this user isn’t interested in any interviews or reveals, and just wants July to arrive so he can watch the movie already!

David Corenswet’s interview has certainly piqued fans' curiosity, making them wonder what exactly was he told to do on set. Well, just a few more months left until we find out!
