The newest addition to the list of actors portraying the Man of Steel has knocked it out of the park in his media rounds ahead of the upcoming Superman movie release.

While the official reviews of David Corenswet's performance as Superman won't come until sometime after July 11, the movie's release date, it's hard not to be impressed with his demeanor during interviews. During a recent sit-down with Comicbook.com, Corenswet once again made a strong impression.

Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) were asked about one DC character not in the upcoming Superman film that they hope to share the screen with in another movie.

Corenswet nearly gave the popular answer many Superman fans would likely expect with Batman, but hit the pause button and opted to pivot to two other names.

After Brosnahan picked Batman and Hoult made a unique selection of The Joker teaming up with Lex Luthor, Corenswet first agreed with his on-screen love interest before choosing an interesting alternate angle.

"I think Batman's gotta be my answer, but it just occurred to me that one of the Robins, one of the iterations of Robin, would be interesting," Corenswet stated.

"Because I think Superman has good 'dad energy' and although it's been explored—his relationships with his sons in certain iterations, I feel like it'd be interesting to have him as sort of an uncle figure to Batman's younger protege."

Corenswet also added a second selection that's top of mind, and makes a lot of sense considering DC's upcoming Wonder Woman film.

"And then also, Superman and Wonder Woman interests me," he said.

Corenswet joked to Brosnahan they could have a "love triangle" with Superman, Lois and Wonder Woman. The actress smirked and quickly replied, "I was about to say, Lois would have a lot to say about that."

While fans would certainly hold out hope for any of the pairings mentioned above, there's little question that the primary focus at this moment remains on the excitement surrounding Corenswet's superhero debut in Superman.
