Clark Kent, known best by his superhero persona Superman, is a fictional character in the DC Universe (DCU) media franchise, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Adapted by DC Studios co-chairman James Gunn, he is portrayed by David Corenswet.
Superman was previously portrayed by Henry Cavill in DC Films's DC Extended Universe (DCEU) franchise. CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav felt DC's franchise was lacking a coherent creative vision and was underusing tentpole characters like Superman. By August 2022, Gunn had been working on a Superman film before he and Peter Safran were named co-chairmen of the new DC Studios in October, and this film was integrated into their new DCU. Following casting a search that began in April 2023, Corenswet was announced as the new Superman in June.
The character first debuted in the 2025 film of the same name.
