Corenswet portrays the iconic Clark Kent in the upcoming Superman film, due in theaters Friday. The feature is directed by James Gunn ( Guardians of the Galaxy) and also stars Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi and Nicholas Hoult .

In a world-historical moment rife with villainy and loose scruples, James Gunn has staked his reboot of the DC Comics Universe on a Superman with core values, a sunny disposition, and a weakness for romance.

Superman' star David Corenswet is trading his cape for a children's book as he prepares to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story.
