David Corenswet, the actor set to portray Superman in the upcoming movie in 2025, walked the red carpet for the first time with his wife, Julia Best Warner (since the wedding), at the premiere event in Los Angeles this past week. The couple appeared at the TCL Chinese Theatre with fans and media in attendance to get a glimpse of the rising star and cast of the movie.
The event marked the first public engagement of Corenswet and Warner as a married couple since their wedding in 2023, and the couple posed for photos together on the red carpet looking relaxed and happy ahead of what will likely be a milestone moment in Corenswet's career. Warner, an actress and producer from Pennsylvania, has appeared in productions including Ratched and Pretty Little Things, and she and Corenswet met as teenagers at a theater program and have remained close both personally and professionally since.
Corenswet discussed the support he received from actors who have previously played Superman, including Tyler Hoechlin and Henry Cavill. Corenswet also shared that he spoke to late actor Christopher Reeve's son, Will Reeve, which Corenswet described as special. Corenswet asked many of these actors for encouragement and it gave him confidence going into such a high-profile role.
The film, to be directed by James Gunn, is scheduled for July 11, 2025, and ushers in the Superman character for a new generation of filmgoers.
The red carpet means more than a Hollywood moment for David Corenswet—it means a new stage of his life, personally! After getting married in 2023 Corenswet and Warner welcomed their first child in 2024. Now they live back in their home state of Pennsylvania intending to raise their daughter out of the limelight of Hollywood.
Best Warner is very much out of the spotlight herself but has a lifetime of creativity herself. The couple's decision to remain private and focus on both their careers and family is indicative of how one can achieve balance in the entertainment world!
