David Corenswet is the new heartthrob on the block thanks to the Superman release dominating the box office the past couple of weeks. As we look forward to the actor’s budding career as a big movie star, romance fans have already mentally cast him in one of the upcoming Emily Henry adaptations, and I love that the author herself is getting on board, too.

Five words: David Corenswet as Charlie Lastra. That’s the realisation that has dawned on a lot of fans of Emily Henry books as the world has gotten to know the new Superman actor.
