Every generation gets a new Superman, and after Henry Cavill MORE than filled his duties brilliantly, it's time for a changing of the guard. There's a new Man of Steel in town, and from the looks of his recent beach photos, David Corenswet's steel extends to all aspects of his casting.

Corenswet won the hearts of millions when he appeared in the Ben Platt vehicle The Politician. Corenswet plays Platt's best friend and love of his life who dies tragically.
And Corenswet is decidedly aware of his resemblance to Henry Cavill. "It came to my attention before the internet got a hold of me," he told EW. And following Cavill's footsteps is decidedly a long-term dream finally coming to fruition. "But my pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman." he told EW. "I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic."
To celebrate this absolute beaut, we figured we'd take a look at our favorite pics of David Corenswet, that have us geeking out for this newest addition to the "hot men in tights" genre of film. It's a golden era for hot superheroes, and Corenswet is its current rock.

It's basically a prerequisite that you have to be absolutely shredded if you're going to play The Man of Steel, and likely become even bigger along the way. Well, Corenswet is clearly well on his way, looking decidedly muscular here.
Psh. More Like He Own This Ass

If you haven't seen Netflix's The Politician, do yourself a favor and go watch it; it's a great series.

We get passionate kisses, and some of the sweetest scenes you could hope for.

Look, if it's pup play you're into just say so. I can be open-minded, okay? Woof.
*Wipes drool from cheek*
Superman is known for wearing his underwear above his outfit, but isn't Corensaw missing the rest of the costume? Actually... now that I think about it... no, he's not missing anything. No notes. Perfect as-is.

You didn't even realize how much you needed this did you? This clip of Corenswet and Broadway icon Patti LuPone singing onset of Ryan Murphy's Hollywood is just one of the most delightfully gay things out there. Neither fully knows the words, and neither really gives a damn.
