He drew his \S/. The top is curved and the sides are not. Maybe we’ve all been half-right this whole time!
Not really. In the straight on, arms crossed shot, SuperDave is looking ****ing wide and none of that shoulder width is due to the sweatshirt.
I mean that comes from a guy that actually saw him upclose.
Yeah, but that exchange was skewed from the start with the linebacker reference. No cinematic Superman is going to be NFL linebacker size.
To be fair, so did this guy who described him as “absolutely huge”:
Same. I got my fix. For now.
Also, I can't take anyone credible who calls that a "swimmer's build". Corenswet really doesn't have Olympian swimmer proportions at all. His bone structure is totally different. If you want to talk about someone with a swimmer's build, Chris Hemsworth is the perfect example when he isn't bulked up for Thor (see Vacation remake).
Lol, I literally almost included a bit about Hemsworth having a proper swimmer's build, but I was afraid of opening up a can of worms with his L&T build vs. Ragnarok etc.

Birthright is my headcanon origin for him, and in that he spends some time after college traveling the world working freelance and finding his feet before settling in Metropolis and becoming Superman, but I'd still put him in his early 20's when that happens. Just makes sense, imo.
I bet they won't get that specific but, sure, that'd make sense to me.
Him being Year 5-10 on this feels about right tbh. I don't like the idea of him spending most of his young adulthood not being Superman, or the MoS take where he just wandered around doing nothing. It could also kinda help to tighten the potential """gap""" he'll have with Batman (even tho I don't think it matters) as they can just say... let's say Batman is in Year 15 and Superman is in Year 8 or whatever. The gap of "experience" between the two would just be 7 years, which is still a bit and accomodates for the disparity of one of them being a patriarch of a superhero family, but it's not necessarily as drastic as people may have thought at first, even if the Batman actor turns out in their mid 40s (which if we're lucky he will)
On the movie itself probably not but I've watched some of the BTS of Gunn's previous work and he does tend to go hyper specific on details that are barely seen in the films themselves. For the Guardians films he had entire documents outlining alien cultures that are only seen in the background or something because he wanted to be very thorough, and I do expect he'll do something similar here, albeit I do think this sort of chronology or whatever is probably something he'd come up retroactively rather than something he had in mind from the beginning lol From everything we heard about the casting process for this and even the way he referred to it (merely calling this Superman "younger than 40" before he cast Corenswet) it does sounds like Gunn was a little bit more loose in that aspect than people think. (Like I'm 99% sure that even if Corenswet was 35 he'd have still cast him)
When Corenswet was first announced, I looked him up on Celebheights.com. And I could have sworn he was listed @ 6’ 4” — which would have made him the tallest Superman. Next time I checked, he was 6’ 3½” (same as Chris Reeve). And now he’s 6’ 3”.
Anyhoo… still a big dude.
So bad it made $400 million worldwide in 1991 on a $48 million budget?
May all my bad decisions be as such!!
Clearly, that leather chair in the foreground is telling us what the texture and color of the cape will be."LOLOL hE's HeNrY cAvILl LiTe!" - Boom
