“So David was going out for that role when we were filming,” director Lee IsaacChung told Total Film. “I remember, we were all really secretly rooting for him. When we found out he was on a shortlist, a lot of us were saying, ‘You know, he actually would be a great Superman.’

Continued Chung: “I remember when he came back from doing auditions in LA. He came back to set, and he was still carrying that Superman to us. He’s someone who stays within the role a little bit. I’m not saying he’s method, but he kind of takes on that aura a little bit.”
