Describing his experiences working with John Cena and Chris Pratt, Gunn reportedly offered Corenswet the role on the condition that he also treat those around him with dignity, stating:
[indent] They treated everyone with kindness and respect. I’ve seen sets that cater to an actor or director’s ego and that’s just not something that would happen with David. He is Superman, even in his nerdiness. He listens to old jazz standards. Like that’s what he listens to, just as normal procedure. Like Superman, he’s a simple man in complicated times.
