Rumors have been persistent about Warner Bros. wanting to reboot their DC film franchise. Reports recently surfaced that Star Wars director J.J. Abrams is on board to reboot Superman but the real question on everyone's mind: is there still "hope" that they'll keep Henry Cavill in the coveted role?
All signs point to no, apparently as the film giant's executives have reportedly compiled a list of actors who will potentially replace Cavill in the reboot. The actor on top of their list, you ask? 26-year-old actor David Corenswet who stars in the Netflix series The Politician.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Corenswet expressed his desire to play a more "upbeat, throwback" version of the Man of Steel in the DC Universe. And is it just us or does he share a striking resemblance to The Witcher actor?
In other Henry Cavill news, he's heading to Manila on December 12 to promote his upcoming Netflix series.
