Fans call new superman David Corenswet ‘carbon copy’ of Henry Cavill

DC Comics fans have expressed their opinions about the casting of David Corenswet as the new Superman, claiming that he seems like a "copycat" of Henry Cavill. 

The 29-year-old actor, who has not previously played a leading role in a major studio production, has been selected to play Clark Kent in the rebooted film series.

According to Deadline, Rachel Brosnahan, 32, will be portraying Lois Lane, replacing Amy Adams. The decision to cast Corenswet comes as part of a significant shake-up of the DC Franchise by new studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, which led to the removal of Henry Cavill from the role.

One fan wrote: "I'm sure David Corenswet is a decent actor but he still looks like a cheap copy of Henry Cavill."

"People (me included) see him just like a carbon copy of Henry Cavil, so he needs to bring something new to the character", wrote another.

While some DC Comics fans have criticized the casting of David Corenswet as the new Superman, others believe that he is an ideal choice to portray a younger version of the character. 

One fan wrote: "I’ve seen is fans saying what was the point in hiring David, he looks like Henry Cavill so why didn’t you hire Henry Cavill? I think that’s more of a compliment to both actors. They both look like #Superman, so them looking similar means they got the casting right both times.."
