In interview with Heart at the London premiere of James Gunn’s Superman, star David Corenswet discussed asking for advice from Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, who both played the DC icon in “Man of Steel” and “Superman & Lois,” respectively. Although they were “encouraging” to Corenswet, they didn’t want to influence his performance.

“Both of them, interestingly, sort of said in their own words, ‘I’m not gonna try and give you any tips,’” Corenswet explained. “And I think that’s a very Superman thing. Superman’s not so much for giving advice or dictating how other people should be.”

Joining Corenswet in “Superman,” which releases July 11, are Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.
