ActorDavid Corenswethas confirmed his love forStar Warsseveral times while doing press for the DCU’s first major movie. Thanks to James Gunn’sSuperman, Corenswet has just made his debut as the next live-action Man of Steel, cementing himself as a key focal point in a new cinematic universe for years to come. However, I know exactly howStar Warscould also use him.
According toDavid Corenswethimself, theSupermanactor has said that it had been his childhood dream to play a Jedi Knight in theStar Warsgalaxy. However, he’s also said he’d love to be an X-Wing pilot. While either option is certainly possible,I think there’s one upcomingStar Warsproject that would be perfect, specifically when it comes to casting David Corenswet as a Jedi Knight.
David Corenswet’s Best Star Wars Chances Lie With Dawn of the Jedi
Getting A Role In James Mangold’s Upcoming Movie
We don’t know much about James Mangold’sDawn of the Jedi.Andor’sBeau Willimon will also be writing the script forDawn of the Jedialongside Mangold. The movie has been described as a biblical epic exploring the First Jedi, set 25,000 years before the Skywalker saga. Not only will the origins of the Jedi Order likely be shown, but also the discovery of the Force itself.
SomeStar Warsfans expect to see the involvement ofDavid Tennant’s Jedi droid Professor Huyang. After all, the beloved droid is one of the oldestStar Warscharacters, having been built by the First Jedi themselves. That said, Mangold is in a unique position where he won’t be nearly as constrained by continuity and canon as mostStar Warsprojects are, as the movie is set so far into the past.
Keeping all that in mind,Dawn of the Jedidoes seem like an excitingStar Warsmovie that could easily cast someone like David Corenswet in a key Jedi role. By leaps and bounds,Supermanhas proven Corenswet’s ability to be a captivating hero, possessing very high moral standards and values all forms of life, just like the very best Jedi in theStar Warscanon.
All in all,Dawn of the Jedifeels like the project where Corenswet’s chances are best. Hopefully, Lucasfilm will at least give him an audition for some sort of role in the upcoming movie or some otherStar Warsproject in the future.
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedidoes not yet have a release date.Supermanis now playing in theaters from DC Studios.
