Super job!
Brandon Routh is eager to offer kudos to fellow Superman David Corenswet on his “amazing” portrayal of the Son of Krypton in the newest version of the superhero flick, he told The Post.
“I have yet to speak with him, but I look forward to,” Routh said.
“You know, sometime our paths will cross, I imagine, but I’m just happy that Superman’s back and in such an uplifting, energetic way, kind of relaunching the DC Universe in a new way I trust.
“It’s a good summer for that. We need some positivity in the world.”
Routh, 45, whose breakout role came when he donned the red cape in 2006’s “Superman Returns” gushed about the reboot, which debuted on July 11, and said his successor played a superb Clark Kent.
“I enjoyed it very much. I was very happy for everybody involved, and I think David did just an amazing job,” he said.
The actor said his most memorable fan encounters come from his portrayal of the beloved Kal-El.
“Superman is always the coolest one … whether it’s somebody who was in the military and out of the country in 2006 when the movie came out or even when the DVD came out,” Routh said.
“The comfort that the entertainment we provide can give to people and the sense of home and family … That we can, through the power of the art that we make, give people home when they’re not at home is pretty awesome.”
The Iowa native also has a connection to another superhero — he went to Norwalk High School with Jason Momoa, who played Aquaman in the DC Universe.
“He’s only two months older than I am, but he was a grade above me. But we played soccer and did Cub Scouts and all that stuff together,” he said.
“So yeah, we go way back, although the little bit that I’ve seen him over the past couple of years, I know him better as an adult than I did as a kid, other than just, you know, being teammates.”
Routh, who stars in the new film “Ick” — which hits theaters nationwide on Sunday — plays a teenaged version of himself in the sci-fi horror comedy alongside his co-star Mena Suvari.
He said his high school experience was different from that of his character, who’s a star football player.
“I was involved in a lot of extracurricular activities and played soccer and swam and [did] music stuff and theater, but I didn’t really have a lot of friends outside of school or a social life,” he said.
“I was doing school and extracurriculars and playing video games on the computer.”
He went on to major in English at the University of Iowa and said if he didn’t become an actor, he’d be a writer.
“I wanted to be a novelist and write fantasy novels basically,” he said.
“And I was going to do graphic design to pay the bills until I wrote my first novel.”
