While Corenswet’s role inTwisterswas nowhere near Superman, director Lee Isaac Chung mentioned that something changed after the audition and that the actor brought in a bit of Superman into the movie. He said toTHR,
He was doing some auditions for ‘Superman’ while we were filming, and David is the type of actor who keeps a little bit of his character within himself while he’s working through the day. He’s not full-out method, but he just has a bit of that [character’s] persona to him. And when he came back from auditions in L.A., he came back as Superman. I saw Clark Kent in the way that he smiled at me and in the way he talked to me, and I realized, ‘Oh, he brought that audition back.’
The filmmaker also mentioned that he had a vision of Corenswet as Superman and figured that he had gotten the role once he came back from the auditions.
