It was a super night in Hollywood as Superman star David Corenswet and his wife, Julia Best Warner, made their long-awaited red-carpet debut, two years after quietly tying the knot.
The couple turned heads Monday night at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the world premiere of Superman, marking Corenswet’s big-screen debut as the Man of Steel. This public appearance comes after a very private couple of years that included a secret wedding in 2023 and the arrival of their first child in early 2024.
Corenswet, 32, looked every bit the modern Clark Kent in a navy pinstriped suit and textured knit tie, while Warner, a producer and actress, stunned in a sage green high-neck gown that blended effortless grace with Hollywood glam.
But the biggest surprise? The couple’s charming behind-the-scenes story. Speaking to PEOPLE, Corenswet revealed he learned he was screen-testing for Superman just two days before discovering his wife was pregnant. “We had these two quite huge secrets that we just had between the two of us,” he said. “And that was intense.”
And in a twist that could’ve come from a rom-com: “She gained about 40 pounds while she was pregnant, and in the same period, I gained about 40 pounds for Superman. I started snoring and had to use her pregnancy pillow,” Corenswet confessed with a laugh.
The couple joined co-stars Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), along with director James Gunn and DC Studios boss Peter Safran. Brosnahan shimmered in a royal purple sequined Ralph Lauren gown, while Hoult rocked leather pants and a bold striped tie.
With Superman hitting theaters July 11, all eyes are on Corenswet, not just as DC’s new leading man, but as Hollywood’s most charming new dad.
