Following the news that David Corenswet has been cast as the new Superman in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, a 2019 comedy sketch he made has resurfaced and gone viral. The sketch, titled "My DC Audition Tape," is not his actual audition for the film but a parody he created for the web series Moe & Jerryweather.

In the video, Corenswet humorously attempts to audition for various DC characters, including a goofy Batman and a "sassy" Riddler. The central joke is that his portrayals of all the other characters are comically bad, but his take on Superman is earnest and perfect.

The article highlights the meta and prophetic nature of the sketch, as it playfully acknowledges that Corenswet, with his classic looks, was seemingly born to play the Man of Steel. This old video now serves as a "perfect piece of casting kismet," showing that he was having fun with the fan-casting and his resemblance to the iconic hero years before officially landing the role.
