David Corenswet recalls surreal flying sequence in 'Superman'

David Corenswet looked back on his first flight scene for James Gunn's Superman reboot.

Reflecting on the the initial screen test for the flight, the newly minted Man of Steel remembered it as an underwhelming experience.

"It was really just a test," he recalled, in conversation with Entertainment Weekly.

"It was in the screen test, actually. We did some wire work just to test our aptitude there, see how we felt up in the air," he added.

However, when the Twister actor flew in his full hero suit for the first time, he felt like he was on cloud nine.

The flight is also heavily featured in the movie’s trailer where he shouts, "Hey, buddy! Eyes up here," at a kaiju attacking Metropolis before rocketing upward into the sky.

"They built the façade of the building, and then they burnt it out with flamethrowers, which we did practically for real," the 31-year-old star explained hinting at the kaiju's fire-breathing.

"Then they brought me back in and I got to do that little piece where I'm flying in front of the building, which is one of the cooler things to get to do practically," he said.

Remembering the overwhelming feeling and adrenaline rush he experienced during the scene, Corenswet continued, "Getting to float there in the air and then, on a cue, rocket straight up into the sky is just about as pure a feeling of flying as you can get."

Superman, also starring Rachel Bronsnahan and Nicholas Hoult is set to premiere on July 11.
