A video circulating online shows David Corenswet stepping in front of Milly Alcock during a photo opportunity. According to the clip, a photographer appeared to place a hand on Alcock’s back while asking her to turn for a picture.
Corenswet, dressed in a beige suit and glasses, then moved between the actress and the photographer. The brief interaction lasted only a moment, but it quickly became a talking point among DC fans.
Many social media users praised Corenswet’s reaction and compared it to the qualities one would expect from the Man of Steel. One fan wrote, “David is Superman both in the movies and in real life.”
Another commented, “A big respect for David for stepping up like that. Photographers need to keep their hands to themselves.” Fans online saw the gesture as a sign of both awareness and respect toward his costar.
Not everyone interpreted the situation the same way. Some viewers felt the interaction was harmless and questioned whether intervention was necessary. One user wrote, “David looks like he’s joking tho.”
Another said, “I dont think there was any malice intended behind that, but he definitely shouldn’t be doing that.” A different commenter argued that photographers also have a job to do and suggested the moment may have been misunderstood.
The attention comes as anticipation continues to build for Supergirl, directed by Craig Gillespie and scheduled for release on June 26, 2026. The film centers on Kara Zor-El, played by Alcock, who joins forces with young alien Ruthye Marye Knoll, portrayed by Eve Ridley, to track down the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, played by Matthias Schoenaerts.
The cast also includes Jason Momoa, David Krumholtz, and Emily Beecham. Alcock enters the project after gaining recognition for playing young Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon.
