Okay.. I’m a die hard Star Wars fan.. and was on the fence about a new Superman ever since the mistreatment of Cavill. Seeing this.. I’ll admit ..i misjudged.
Need a conversation between him and Cavill
Yep he is now golden as far as I am concerned. Most impressive.
During another interview that appeared onX, Corenswet shared that as a child, he dreamed of having one superpower.
