David Corenswet highlights one major flaw in Superman suit

David Corenswet, the new Superman, recently revealed the iconic suit has “no single zipper” for quick bathroom breaks.

While conversing with PEOPLE magazine, the 31-year-old American actor opened up about wearing the iconic Man of Steel costume in the recently released film Superman, saying, “There are lots of zippers, but there’s no single zipper that allows me to go to the bathroom, which you would think would be quite straightforward.”

Corenswet continued, “But nothing is straightforward about these things. I mean, we talked about it and we tried and it was not worth the costs that came with it.”

When the reporter was asked if it tortured him in director James Gunn’s movie, he replied by quipping, “not at all.”

The Twisters star explained, “I never had an issue with that. I had the most amazing dresser you could ask for, Scotty, who was sort of like a, I don’t know, he felt like a mob fixer. He was always in my ear going, ‘Do you need a break? Do you need a break? Tell ‘em you need a break and we can step you out. I’ll tell him it’s me.’”

“He would make excuses for me if I needed, and we got very good together at getting in and out of the suit, so he would do it quite quickly, and I could take breaks if I needed to over the course of a day,” Corenswet noted.

He went on to recall the time when he first wore the costume after getting cast in the movie, “It was very underwhelming. It was in pieces. The S wasn’t even on yet. It was really just about the blue tights.”

“It was quite snug because they had made it to my proportions when I screen-tested where I weighed about 195 pounds, and when I walked in for my first costume fitting, I weighed about a 235, 240 pounds,” Corenswet stated.

It is pertinent to mention that Superman hit theatres on July 11, 2025.
