Henry Cavill congratulates NEW SUPERMAN David Corenswet | DUB
In a world where Superman can fly faster than a speeding bullet, even he can’t outrun the internet’s sharp sense of humor. A hilarious parody video has taken social media by storm, imagining a fictional, sarcastic meeting between former Superman Henry Cavill and his replacement, David Corenswet, who will don the cape in James Gunn’s Superman (2025).

But this isn’t your typical warm-hearted passing of the torch. The video is packed with witty jabs, awkward tension, and one-liners that leave fans laughing—and cringing.

🫱 “Hello David, nice to meet you.”
The DUB kicks off with Cavill (voiced by an impersonator) greeting Corenswet. The atmosphere seems friendly—at first. But things quickly take a turn when David refers to Cavill as “Mr. Cavill,” prompting the former Man of Steel to quip:

“You don’t have to say mister—just call me Henry.”
Corenswet, keeping the roast alive, innocently replies:

“Sorry, I was taught when addressing an older gentleman to refer to them as ‘Mr.’”
Cue the silence… and then the punch:

“Wait—how old do you think I am?”
“Well… apparently someone too old to play Superman.”
Ouch. The roast level? 🔥🔥🔥

🧠 Superman Quiz: Hope, Martha, and Tucked-In Smiles
Cavill, in the spirit of good fun (and passive-aggression), offers David a Superman pop quiz.

Question: “The S on Superman’s chest—what does it stand for?”
David’s Answer: “Superman?”
Cavill’s Correction: “Actually, it means hope.”
From there, Cavill dispenses “helpful” advice:

“When you’re saving people, don’t smile. Just keep all that happiness tucked inside.”
“If Batman ever tries to fight you, just say ‘Martha.’”
Yes, the infamous “Why did you say that name?” line from Batman v Superman makes its way into the parody, drawing laughs from longtime DC fans who remember the meme that never died.

🎭 From Congratulatory to Combative
What begins as a supportive gesture turns into a full-blown roast battle. Cavill says:

“As much as I would’ve loved to continue playing Superman, I’m glad you got the role. I’m truly happy for you.”
But Corenswet fires back with unexpected honesty:

“Yeah… I’m not gonna do that.”
“Your take on Superman has failed—so why would I take advice from you?”
Cavill, visibly offended, claps back:

“Not everyone liked the stories I was in, but pretty much everyone agrees I played a great Superman.”
“The only reason you even got hired is because you resemble me.”
By this point, the conversation devolves into playful pettiness. When Cavill wishes David good luck, he growls:

“I hope you break a neck.”
To which David replies, stunned: “You mean a leg, right?”
And Cavill, without blinking: “I meant what I said.”

David Corenswet Says Superman Is 'Optimistic,' Not Henry Cavill Gritty

💬 Fan Reactions: Savage, Satirical, and Spot-On
The parody, while entirely fictional, has struck a chord with fans who are still divided over Henry Cavill’s controversial Superman exit and David Corenswet’s upcoming debut in Superman (2025).

Social media responses range from admiration for the clever writing to sympathy for Cavill:

“This DUB is savage and hilarious. Cavill deserved better, but this is genius.”
“I can’t tell if I should laugh or cry. Poor Henry.”
“That Martha line NEVER gets old.”

🧩 Behind the Humor: A Real Conversation in Fandom
Though clearly exaggerated for comedic effect, the DUB video reflects real fan emotions: the bittersweet reality of recasting, the passion behind the Superman legacy, and the ongoing debate about tone, story direction, and justice for Cavill’s portrayal.

Henry Cavill, widely praised for his stoic yet compassionate Superman, was removed from the role after DC Studios reset its cinematic universe under James Gunn. David Corenswet, known for roles in Hollywood and Pearl, will now wear the iconic red cape in Superman (2025) — and fans are watching closely.

The “S” still means hope.
