Mr. Irrelevant Screening and Conversation with David Corenswet and Josh Horowitz

David Corenswet grew up in Philadelphia and attended The Juilliard School for drama. This Christmas he will star in the Paramount Pictures and Skydance biopic Mr. Irrelevant, directed by Jonathan Levine. Based on the true story of John Tuggle, the final pick in the 1983 NFL Draft, the film follows Tuggle’s inspiring journey with the New York Giants and the legacy he left behind. In February 2027, he will make his Broadway debut playing “Walker/Ned” in Richard Greenberg’s Three Days of Rain, directed by Anna D. Shapiro and co-starring Francois Arnaud and Yvonne Strahovski. Corenswet is best known for his portrayal of “Clark Kent/Superman” in James Gunn’s Superman, the first film in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe for Warner Bros., which released last summer to significant box office and critical success. He will reprise this role in the forthcoming sequel Man of Tomorrow, which is slated for release next summer. Other film and television credits include Twisters directed by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), Searchlight Pictures’ romantic drama The Greatest Hits, Alma Har’el’s Apple TV miniseries Lady in the Lake, Pearl directed by Ti West, the HBO miniseries We Own This City, and the Ryan Murphy series Hollywood and The Politician.
