David Corenswet’s turn as the Man of Steel in 2025’s Superman was awash in optimism, confidence, and swagger, and his next big screen appearance looks to be no different. In an exclusive interview with IGN, Corenswet reveals that the protagonist of his new movie Mr. Irrelevant, which hits theaters this December, shares a lot in common with the Big Blue Boy Scout.
“John Tuggle is a very Superman-like figure in a lot of ways,” Corenswet says. “I want to watch films that leave me feeling hopeful, optimistic, energetic. When the lights come up in the movie theater, I want to look to the people next to me and say, ‘Wow, we should be a little nicer to each other. We just went through something that brought us together, and I want to leave the theater and call my mom.’”
Mr. Irrelevant tells the true story of John Tuggle, “the last player selected in the last round of the 1983 NFL draft.” The movie stars Corenswet as Tuggle with supporting performances by Michael Shannon (Knives Out, Man of Steel) as legendary football coach Bill Parcells and Isabel May (Scream 7) as Tuggle’s love interest Katie.
Along with Corenswet, I sat down with May, who says playing Katie was a bit of a reprieve from some of her other upcoming roles.
“Of course I want to be a part of films that make people feel good,” May says.
