David Corenswet Picks His #1 Superman Villain—Find Out Who It Is
David Corenswet reveals his favorite Superman villain in a new interview—his pick might surprise longtime DC fans.
David Corenswet, the new Superman in 
James Gunn’s upcoming reboot, recently ranked his favorite Superman villains in a fun episode of Rank by Rolling Stone Philippines. Joined by co-star 
Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Corenswet dove deep into comic book lore, discussing which villains push Superman the hardest. While names like Parasite and Doomsday got shoutouts for their raw power, Corenswet made it clear there’s only one top pick: Lex Luthor.
“Lex Luthor is the OG, the best,” he said, with Brosnahan fully agreeing. The choice was also a subtle nod to 
Nicholas Hoult, who plays Luthor in the film. “Nick is an awfully handsome man,” Corenswet joked.
Lex Luthor has been played by actors like 
Gene Hackman and 
Jesse Eisenberg, with Hackman still widely praised. Corenswet’s comments show fans can expect a strong take from Hoult when Superman hits cinemas and IMAX on July 11.
