Glen Powell has become one of the most beloved celebrities on the Internet right now. From his work on films like Top Gun: Maverick to his recent hits Hit Man and Twisters, the actor has grown into a sought-after star. With a slate of hit films already in his pockets, it is probably only a matter of time before he makes his superhero debut.
While fans await Powell’s debut in either the DCU or the MCU, the actor seemed to have been extremely enthusiastic about the DCU finding their Superman. Powell and his Twisters castmates were seen in a viral video, cheering on for their co-star David Corenswet when he was announced as the next Superman after Henry Cavill.

While the actor has denied that he has received a call from either James Gunn’s emerging universe or Kevin Feige’s MCU, Powell’s social media activity has led fans to believe he might be tapped to play the DCU’s Batman (via Gamerant).
Powell, however, seems to be in a celebratory mood for his Twisters co-star and the DCU’s Superman David Corenswet. A recent video of the film’s cast made the rounds on the Internet where they can be seen celebrating Corenswet’s selection as the new Clark Kent Powell can be seen jumping around at the announcement.

Twisters Director Said David Corenswet Brought Superman’s Character Into The Film
David Corenswet in James Gunn’s Superman | Credits: DC StudiosDavid Corenswet was chosen as the replacement for Henry Cavill after the latter had to depart the franchise once James Gunn took over DC Studios and decided to go for a soft reboot. Set to make his debut in Gunn’s Superman in July 2025, the actor’s selection was controversial when it was announced.
While Corenswet’s role in Twisters was 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 to THR,
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.
Twisters is currently playing in theaters.
