Collider<\/a>, the actor revealed that his training at Juilliard played a pivotal role in both his audition process for Superman, as well for filming the movie once he got the role:\u00a0<\/p>\n“I was astonished. I did not expect it at the screen test to feel, multiple times, that my training at Juilliard had perfectly prepared me for the screen test specifically, and then the role in general. I think there’s a lot at acting school that’s really cool and fun, but you sort of think once you’re out in the world, you’re not going to use a lot. It’s sort of like high school trigonometry. You’re like, ‘Am I really going to use this?’ But then […] You do!”<\/p>\n
Corenswet then delved into what the audition process for the James Gunn-directed feature was like, explaining\u00a0that it\u00a0felt similar to rehearsing a play, which made him feel right at home, given his formal training in the field:\u00a0“James [Gunn] immediately made working on the screen test scene feel like we were going to work, not like we were auditioning. And the work felt much more like rehearsing a play than it did like shooting a movie. So, I immediately thought, ‘Well, that’s what I trained for, rehearsing a play.’ I did a lot of that in school.”<\/p>\n
He also revealed\u00a0that part of his screen test involved wire work. Though he had never done it\u00a0before, the movement lessons he took at Juilliard allowed\u00a0him to be prepared for the challenge:\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Then, when we got up on wires for the stunt evaluation, it’s something I had never done before, but the\u00a0challenge there was all about having isometric control over your body and your limbs, while keeping a relaxed and hopefully somewhat charming facial expression, although not always. […] So, again, I thought back to Moni Yakim’s movement classes at Juilliard, where you’d be lying on the floor and he would say, ‘And the right leg\u00a0up,\u00a0and down, and up and down!'”<\/p>\n
David Corenswet will return as the Last Son of Krypton in Man of Tomorrow, flying into theaters on July 9, 2027. Superman is streaming on HBO Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n
