David Corenswet may have joined the DC Universe as the new Man of Steel under James Gunn’s reign, but there are still quite a few critics who just can’t see him in the same light as they did Henry Cavill. Nonetheless, at the same time, the new Clark Kent’s attempts at winning fans over simply with his outstanding personality aren’t falling short either.

This comes stronger after the latest turn of events, which saw Corenswet showing up to the premiere of Christopher Reeve’s soon-to-be-released documentary,Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. If anything, the way the actor was seen supporting this documentary more than his own upcoming movie was enough to make even the toxic fans fall in love with him.
David Corenswet Yet Again Proves He’s the Perfect Superman
Even thoughChristopher Reevehas long been laid to rest, his star-studded legacy continues to live and leave fans baffled at his genuine remarkableness. From rising to stardom as the Superman of the ’70s to ending up paralyzed due to a tragic horse-riding accident, his forthcoming documentarySuper/Man, scheduled for a limited release, will encompass his story through the same.
Recently, the documentary had its New York premiere, and a lot of actors and members of the Reeve family graced the event. During the same, Corenswet, the next Superman, was also seen dashingly present to not only attend the premiere but also support the documentary alongside DC Studios’ co-CEOsJames GunnandPeter Safran.

A clip shared by@homeofdcu on Xfurther emphasized Corenswet’s involvement in the entire matter as he was seen, in true Superman fashion, promoting the documentary before his own. As he signed the merch, a fan even remarked they couldn’t“wait to see the new movie.”To this, Corenswet responded:“This movie? Because you gotta see this movie first.”

Thatsaid, these chivalrous moves at the hands of this bulky Man of Steel are actually helping lightenthe pressure of having to fill the big bootsof this character left behind byHenry Cavill. To say the least, even the critics hating on Corenswet might not be able to hate him anymore after watching the actor support Reeve’s documentary with such tremendous respect.
Fans React to David Corenswet’s Undeniable Chivalry
With him trying so hard to get on the fans’ good side and have them give him a chance to prove to them that he can, in fact, actually live up to their expectations, at this point, even fans can’t denyDavid Corenswet‘s chivalry. If anything, a lot of them are claiming that the actor’s respect for Reeve’s legacy has already made him worthy enough of carrying the mantle forward.
Take a look for yourself at what a majority of the fans have to say about all of this on X:

Man I’m gonna miss Cavill a ton but he’s going to be such a good Supes. I can’t wait 😭
“This movie? … Well, you gotta see THIS movie first.“The respect for the legacy, man 😭 he earned Superman

Look where he puts ALL the focus when fans address his movie. Already a better Superman than Cavill.
I love Cavill but this guy gonna be good too can’t wait for peak Superman movie

I can’t believe those people hate this guy
The fact that he support and care for the documentary of Christopher Reeve more than his movie just shows that he is a great person I can’t wait to see super/man Christopher reeve
And people hates him because this is not Cavill..smh
If all of this wasn’t enough, further proving his respect toward Reeve’s legacy, Corenswet even took to his Instagram handle@davidcorenswetto share the trailer of this upcoming documentary to promote it.

With all of this being put out there, looking at Corenswet’s behavior towards fans and the respect he displayed toward the iconic legacy Reeve has left behind, it comes as no doubt that the one fans got to meet and greet at the premiere wasnone other than one of the worthiest Superman portrayersof all time himself.
