During the London premiere of James Gunn’s “Superman,” star David Corenswet revealed that Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin, who both played the DC superhero before, refused to give him influential advice before he stepped into the role.

“That was really unfortunate,” Gunn continued. “So Peter and I [thought] the right thing to do was to sit down with [Cavill] and talk to him. And we sat down and we talked to him. He was an absolute gentleman, a great guy about it. He said, ‘The only thing I ask is that I’m able to reveal it myself as opposed to it coming from you guys.'”
