"Anybody Recognize Some Familiar Voices?": SUPERMAN Star David Corenswet Seemingly Teases Jor-El Casting

A recent test screening report appeared to spoil the identity of the actor who will play Jor-El in Superman, and lead star David Corenswet looks to have cheekily referenced that in a social media post.

WARNING: Possible SPOILERS for Superman follow!

With Superman test screenings taking place ahead of the movie's release in theaters this July, spoilers for the DC Studios reboot have started finding their way online. Among them is the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy star Bradley Cooper will play Jor-El.

Is casting a spoiler? Not really. The Man of Steel's father appearing in Superman was a given, and while it's possible Cooper playing the Kryptonian was meant as a surprise, it would be a missed trick not to promote his appearance. 

A 5-minute Superman sneak peek was recently released by DC Studios which played in theaters this weekend before A Minecraft Movie. In that, when the hero is taken to the Fortress of Solitude by Krypto, a faint voice can be heard in the background saying the word "Kal-El."

It didn't take long for fans to point out that it sounded an awful lot like Cooper. 

Now, Superman star David Corenswet has taken to social media to share the preview along with a caption reading, "While I was flying someone shared a sneak peek of the new Superman film. Anybody recognize some familiar voices?"

While it's possible the actor was referring to Creature Commandos star Alan Tudyk lending his voice to "4," this feels more like a wink and a nod to the news about Cooper leaking in advance (chances are we'd have never guessed the voice was his without knowing beforehand).

Either way, filmmaker James Gunn has confirmed he's currently putting the finishing touches on a new Superman trailer, and we expect that to land before the month is over. 

You can check out Corenswet's post and relive that awesome extended preview below.

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures.

In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Also appearing are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell, and Milly Alcock.

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.

@AllsNotGood - I'll bet Jennifer Holland is concerned that by the time they get to a Wonder Woman film, she'll be too old for the role.

@AllsNotGood - I think that as long as we get a great Superman movie, I don't care what Gunn's wife plays.

He could also be referring to Michael Rooker saying "14 fractured bones".

Never thought Supes would need this medical attention. Just laying in the snow with the sun lit would heal him fast.

He could be talking about Tudyk & such most likely but that’s definitely Cooper in the background speaking Kryptonese alongside Lara though I’m not familiar with her voice….

Anyway , can’t wait for this film!!.

His immunity is weakened from the clot shot, give him another booster.

Epic failure! Looks like it will be funny & goofy...probably aimed at kids but it will loose adult fans. Superman is weak in this film with a horrible suit. The only thing that was impressive was the fortress coming out the snow everything else was MEH!!!!!

@mck13 - how can you say he is weak without seeing the scene before this one?

Thought he meant the voices for the Super-robots at first. Honestly even now when we know it's Bradley Cooper, it sound so faint and like it is coming from a distant room that it's hard to hear it.

And also I am too use to him being Rocket Raccoon.

Watched the Sneak Peek, and it only confirmed how bad the writing of this movie will be, and did it in a matter of seconds. now, I am going to paraphrase it, so if I get the exact words wrong, meh....
anyways, The robots pick up Superman and carry him to the bed thing, and Superman says "Thank You", and one Robot says : No need to thank us sir, as we will not appreciate it. we have no consciousness whatsoever. just atomitons, here to serve. meet 12, she's new", and the Superman looks at her, and she gets excited and giggles and says "he looked at me"...
She shows appreciation for being looked at , RIGHT after the other robot says that they wouldn't even appreciate a "thank You"...
it's a small thing, but stupid to even include. Unless 12 ends up being a special robot with feelings or whatever. either way, to contradict yourself in the ever next line of dialog is poor writing.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the female robot contradict what the male reboot just said?
