Less than an hour after now three-time Emmy-nominated Barry star Anthony Carrigan was unveiled as one of the stars of DC’s forthcoming Superman: Legacy, the actor got on the phone with Deadline to talk about his excitement regarding the role, the resonance it had for him, his preparation for the audition and more.
“I’m gobsmacked,” Carrigan admitted when it comes to the Superman news. “I think it’s just such an exciting new chapter, and such an exciting new chapter for DC.

not Henry Cavill, David Corenswet or even Tyler Hoechlin.

The actor also said he was aware of his similar looks to Henry Cavill, who played Superman in three movies directed by Zack Snyder. “It came to my attention before the internet got a hold of me,” Corenswet told EW at the time about comparisons to Cavill. “But my pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman. I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”
