Fans Doubt David Corenswet’s Replace for Henry Cavill in Superman: Legacy
Once again fans across X (formerly Twitter) have expressed their doubt in regards to the replacement of Henry Cavill in the upcoming Superman: Legacy.
The discussion sparked after one of the users on Twitter shared the fact that Cavill refused to take steroids to build his physique while he was getting ready to play the role of Superman. This information started a discussion on Twitter where fans were seen openly doubting David Corenswet as Superman in the upcoming movie.
Fun fact: Henry Cavill refused to take steroids and pushed himself to the limits to prepare for the role of Superman.
He also refused for any digital enhancements in his body in the shirtless scenes. The dedication he had for Superman will remain unmatched 💯 pic.twitter.com/F2JyPyYEPe— Geralt of North (@Itssan17) September 9, 2023
Responding to the above tweet one of the users said that even though Superman: Legacy stands out as a movie it will not replace his love, for Cavill.
Yeah. He set the bar high for Gunn's Supes. I think even if I like Superman Legacy when it comes out that the new Supes will still not replace my love for Henry playing Superman.

Another user praised his hard work and dedication.
Which is why at the end of the day.. he’s my Superman. The dedication he takes in anything he does goes beyond our expectations. He’s an amazing actor and deserves the title as Superman. He’s filled the shoes. He’s deserves that much. Give this man his flowers.
