Corenswet & Brosnahan Steal the Show at Superman London Premiere
Here we go again—another star-studded extravaganza pretending to be news. London’s Cineworld Leicester Square hosted the inaugural red carpet for Superman, and shocker, the cast showed up looking like they raided an armor closet at Armani. David Corenswet, billed as the new Man of Steel, managed to keep it predictably monochrome with a sleek black suit that dared to whisper “I’m subtle,” only to punctuate the ensemble with those obligatory red accents—because, yes, we needed a reminder of his cape. I told you so: if you’re playing Superman, you’re playing in primary colors, end of story.
Rachel Brosnahan strutted beside him in a glittering asymmetrical Armani Privé dress that screamed “I’m Lois Lane and I own the spotlight.” You could practically hear the dress scolding the carpet beneath it. Brosnahan’s cut-out detail was so sharp it could’ve punctured the collective ego of every paparazzo snarling for that perfect shot. Reliable fashion pundits at People Magazine noted the actress’s confidence translating into main character energy, despite everyone else on the carpet desperately vying for an Instagram moment.
Nicholas Hoult, who traded his Lex Luthor chrome dome for charming banter, appeared halfway between “villain reveal” and “I’m just here for the free champagne.” According to E! Online, he shared a few laughs with Corenswet, proving that even sworn cinematic enemies can put down the Kryptonite long enough to clutch a glass and grin for the cameras. And yes, that’s director James Gunn making the rounds too—he swooped in to inspect the damage control on costume continuity and, presumably, to confirm that no one had smuggled a real cape under their tuxedo.
This premiere wasn’t just about outfits, though. It was a declaration that superhero fatigue has yet to peak—widely publicized release is set for July eleventh, so expect this circus to hit every major city faster than you can say “box office records.” Industry insiders at Variety predict fashion stakes will only escalate from here—brace yourselves for next week’s chaos in Tokyo.
Did anyone actually think a Superman debut would be low-key? No? Thought so. And there you have it: obligatory hero poses, glittering gowns, and enough brand endorsements to wallpaper the Empire State Building. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
