There are blockbuster films, and then there is James Gunn’s Superman, a cinematic event already generating enough buzz to power Metropolis for a decade. From suit reveals to table reads, fans have been analyzing every frame and syllable. But what has truly ignited the fandom’s kryptonite-level obsession? The cast. David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have become the internet’s favorite new dynamic duo. And now, the cape has officially taken flight, with the press tour in full swing.

Superman’s press tour kicked off faster than a speeding bullet, starting in Manila, where hysteria reached heroic heights. David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan appeared like living comic panels, and the crowd reaction was less 'mild-mannered reporter' and more full-on Comic-Con frenzy. Offline and online, fans swarmed. Many even greeted them as if the Daily Planet HR department had just sent over their favorite office crushes, proving that the love for Lois and Clark is no longer fictional.

The fan frenzy in Manila was not only about seeing stars, it was about meeting the stars. David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan were not plucked from obscurity, but chosen after a months-long search that included intense screen tests and tough competition. Corenswet edged out big names like Nicholas Hoult with a grounded charm that screamed "Smallville with secrets.", making some think that his Superman might work even better than Henry Cavill's. As for Brosnahan, she reportedly delivered the best audition of any Lois hopeful, proving she was always destined to hold the press pass.

When a cast is chosen with surgical precision, the love pouring in from Manila feels less like surprise and more like prophecy

Fans are in near-unanimous agreement: David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are everything they imagined Clark Kent and Lois Lane to be, and then some. From the sharp suits to the unspoken glances, their on-screen pairing already feels like classic comic book chemistry brought to life. Across platforms, fans are praising the duo as the most convincing Superman-Lois combo in recent memory. With their unbeatable chemistry practically oozing at the Manila press tour, they have turned cautious optimism into full-blown excitement.

Many others online expressed joy that the promotional tour began in Manila, an unusual move for major Hollywood productions, which often skip Asian countries or save them for the tail end. The Philippines, however, opened the global campaign in style. Fans across Asia noted how rare this visibility is, and how meaningful it was to see a region usually overlooked taking center stage. The press tour may have just started, but its opening move made a statement.

If a single appearance can ignite a wave of affection, then the rest of this tour may require emotional seatbelts. James Gunn’s version of Superman is already rewriting expectations, not just with capes and casting, but with care. Perhaps superheroes no longer need to save the world. At this rate, just showing up in the right place is revolutionary enough.
