Dolph Lundgren‘s not against recasting an iconic character — telling fans to give David Corenswet‘s Superman a chance … even if he’s not entirely sure who he is.
We talked to the action movie star in Los Angeles Friday, and asked him all about the DC Universe coming to an end — ‘memba, Dolph starred as King Nereus in the ‘Aquaman’ films — and he says he’s sad to see it go ’cause of his great time working on the flick.
DL name-drops a few of his costars from the flick before moving on to the outrage surrounding Henry Cavill being dropped as Superman for Corenswet.
Lundgren says he isn’t familiar with David — by name or reputation — but he says fans always get up in arms when one of their fav characters ends up being played by someone else … and they need to give the guy a chance to flex his superhero muscles.
It seems like Dolph doesn’t know Corenswet’s work very well — and yet, he’s very positive here, saying he’s rooting for DC’s newest Man of Steel … which is pretty awesome.
That said, Dolph’s very clear there’s one character he doesn’t want recast … Apollo Creed, played by the late great Carl Weathers.
Lundgren — who played Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in “Rocky IV” and fought Creed in the movie — says no one can replace Carl. On the Superman front, though … have it, he says.
