Hope we see reference pics with you with the Superman 2025 cast soon! Just under 6'3 sounds right to me.

@Rob
What's the possibility of him being 6'2.5?

Editor RobMaybe, but it's lowest I would guess just now.

I think listing is bang on. Wakes up over 6'3'' for sure but 6'4'' is ridiculous. I hope he didn't say he was that tall in the past! Especially because of how honest and cool he seems. Check out Rick Glassman's podcast with him, it's hilarious.

Just round it up as his morning height could easily be over 190, which isn't any different from 6'3".

Still don't know how tall this guy is. Could be as short as 6-2 to possibly scraping 6-3

Hoult is 189,9 m and David seems exact same height. Sometimes 1.5-2 cm taller. So i can't more than 1.91 m for David. 1-1.5 cm taller than Hoult at most.

Surprisingly I don’t think his boots add that much height in the Superman costume since he looks a little shorter than Hoult here.

6'3 vs 6'2.5 Hoult midday seems accurate. I can see 6'3.5-6'4 depending on the shoes he wears so he uses shoe height prob

Saw the movie yesterday. Hoult looked almost eye level with Corenswet during the movie. I think Corenswet's relatively short arms make him look shorter than most 6'3-6'4 guys.

If David Corenswet is 6'4", then CGI effects make him look 5'10" as Superman. I have never seen a "shorter-looking Superman" in a live action movie. Corenswet's build definitely makes him look considerably shorter than 6'4".

There was a lie detector interview recently in which David admits that he and Nicholas are the same height and Nicholas said he was measured at 189 cm and a bit, though David thinks he is still 6’4” though he mentions rounding up from 6’3.5” and says Nicholas wears lifts (possibly a joke though)

funny clip here where David is under lie detector test and claims he’s never lied about his height. Hoult confirms that at doctors he’s pretty much 6’2.5/189cm

Here's an interesting discussion about height between him and Hoult: Click Here (worth mentioning Nicholas claiming to have been measured 189 and a bit, which certainly makes more sense than 6'1 and a bit!)

Also, if Hoult is being measured in the 189cm range presumably right in the morning, he may be a fraction under 6ft 2.5 on average which brings Corenswet's height into question even more.

Rob, these two touched on height with a lot of scrutiny from about 12:45 onwards in this video! Click Here
I absolutely knew height would come up in this lie detector test, and sure enough, Hoult calls out Corenswet on if he lies about being 6ft 4 and then claims (perfectly) that he is measured by the doctor, under a stadiometer, at ''189 and a bit centimetres'' (just as you have listed him!). Corenswet expresses confusion at them being ''at least'' the same height yet genuinely seems to believe he is 6ft 4. It ends with David finally accepting he is not 6ft 4, which is a big claim. I think it's fair to say that they are the same height, and Hoult generally edges him too because if Corenswet were even a little taller, he would be way more confident about his claims. 6ft 2.25 in my book.Editor Rob

Editor RobEyelevel differences can also cause one person to think they are taller (when they are the same height).
But yeah, the last commenter on Hoult's page saw the video too and I think for once Hoult has come up with a figure he actually measured.

I think Hoult usually has a tad more shoe than Corenswet in most pictures I've seen making him appear taller, not to mention his wirey build accentuating it. I'd say they're both prime examples of 6"2.5

Good morrow, Rob!
Do you think there is a snowball’s chance that David is actually being honest about his 6ft 4 claim?
His footwear in Superman (2025) was as thin as Chace Crawford’s on The Boys, and yet he still comfortably managed to tower over almost everyone onscreen (even in motion when he wasn’t standing completely upright).
Also, Nick Hoult wears thick heels as part of his Luthor get-up and Corwenswet seems to have no issue staying close to his eye level. (I have seen the interviews where Hoult gasses up David and says he’s an inch taller than him too.)
Believable, Rob?Editor Rob

Editor RobI don't think he's as tall as 6ft 4 barefoot. It is true though that Superman's footwear doesn't look particularly thick from what I can tell.

I think he’s definitely a 6’3 guy, Hoult wears bulkier shoes than David and I saw an interview talking about how his boots for the movie were much flatter than everyone else’s in the movie.

I’m confused, Nicholas Hoult have mentioned in an interview in Jimmy Kimmel Live (hosted by Diego Luna) that David Corenswet is an inch taller than him.

Rob, Corenswet did respond to Hoult saying ''I'm not'' when Hoult claimed he was taller but was drowned out by the audience. Hoult has a tendency to comically exaggerate. Corenswet being listed taller than him when both his eye level and top of head are always visually below Hoult's doesn't really make any sense. Promotion, behind-the-scenes film footage, and scenes from the film (like the one in the beginning of the interview linked below) show that Corenswet is visually shorter.Editor Rob

Editor RobHe could have been bigging up the idea of Superman being taller than Lex Luthor.

I noticed something here - Click Here
Nicholas seems to have more footwear. I’m not saying that it would change anything but the footwear looks more bulky than David’s footwear.

there is absolutely no way david is taller than hoult every single pic hoult looks taller. either Hoult’s taller than 6’2.5 which i doubt or Corenswet is 6’2.25 or 6’2.5

@Aptz he looks 6'2.25-6'2.5 next to him. Shows that a strong 6'2 is still fairly big, he gets guessed and listed as 6'4! Hoult has always looked tall and 6'2.5

good downgrade doesn’t look the full 6’3” especially next to Hoult. 6’2:5 or 6’2.75 is probably more accurate

Rob, Click Here is a video between Corenswet and Hoult once again showing an inch difference in favour of Hoult. Hoult genuinely makes Corenswet look 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" at most relative to his own height; I'm not sure how this is consistently possible, but he does it every single time they're pictured or recorded. Corenswet definitely needs a downgrade. Hoult is the tallest 6'2" claiming guy I've ever seen.Editor Rob

Editor RobThey look very close there and overall from photos together I wonder just how close in height, could be a small fraction. I will have to look more at both to decide.

He and Nicholas Hoult are both taller than James Gunn by more than 2 inches. In my opinion, they could each be around 6’2¾” tall, but if I had to choose one, I think Nicholas Hoult might be just slightly taller, approximately 189.9 cm compared to 189.5 cm.

Rob, Corenswet is most definitely shorter than Hoult. I think he needs a downgrade. Honestly, Hoult can make him look 6'1.5'' at times...But then they are both at least two inches taller than James Gunn. Why does Hoult look so damn tall generally? He could pass for 6'3''-6'4'' quite often. Yet he claims anywhere from 186 - 189.

However, I have to say I'm a little bit surprised at the listing. What made you go with 6'3 Rob? I was expecting at most 6'2.

Editor RobFrom what I've seen I think if standing tall he can look near 6ft 3. However, we'll see if that opinion changes in the future!
