Banana Republic immediately announced a new campaign with David Corenswet in outdoor locales spread across the California coastline. While announcing the campaign, the fashion house called Corenswet an “actor (and lover of the outdoors),” giving the road-trip mood for their October Edit collection. Indeed, this is a big fashion moment for the young star who was recently cast as Clark Kent for James Gunn’s Superman, which is set for release in 2025.

A cascade of enthusiastic comments followed the launch of the campaign, with many online unable to contain their excitement over the appearance of Corenswet. One commenter seemed to be expressing the entire allegiance: “not a single appropriate thing to say” regarding those photographs, with more users chiming with GIFs depicting being overwhelmed. The comment section indeed became one of those venues where the fans collectively realized that words alone simply could not begin to express their feelings on the images.

Another user made two statements phrased as questions that many have shared: “i need to know two things: 1) what his wife did in her past life to get this man and 2) why i’m feral for this man.” This laid the foundation for a discussion about Corenswet’s transition from his younger, “scrawny” days to the build he now has to cast as Superman, with one fellow user noting how he has “grown into the role of Superman” over time. Another went on a serious tangent that perhaps Corenswet’s wife “is a really great woman” that deserves him; it was an indication of the community’s deference for his personal life amid their gushing.

The international crowd joined in, one Brazilian chiming in: “abençoada seja a goma que extrairam do diesel que abasteceu o caminhão que carregou o concreto para dar forma ao hospital onde tu nasceste.” This long and poetic compliment gave everybody a good laugh, and the other commentators clapped a lot for it, one remarking, “the best comments always come from Brazilians!” The translator tried to maintain that witty and creative spirit of the original comment, thus offering an English-language avenue for appreciating the original.

Giving the fans of Banana Republic giving a resonating shout, “we say in unison ‘thank you banana republic’” for landing Corenswet upon their feed. Those were just dramatic ways of expressing longing, with one commenting, “Where do i get one of him” and another, “why is there a ‘view shop’ option can i buy him,” questions delightfully blurring lines between shopping for apparel and admiring the model wearing it.

Certain comments gave light to the most memorable moments of the campaign. “The way he’s looking so hot and sexy fully clothed is insane,” one commented, referring to Corenswet’s ability to draw attention without an overtly sexual connotation. “DAVID U WILL BE MINE,” shouted another one with a great deal of sincere intent, while the same commenter also tempted a particular shot of him on a car as their “fave.”

The October release date did not escape the public, one commenting, “What a good day to be born in October,” linking their birth month to Corenswet’s campaign debut. Another one perfectly encapsulated the workplace-meets-private-life-star-crossed-love sort of half-truth: “My favorite brand and my favorite Superman actor in collaboration – what could be greater?”

The Corenswet as Superman announcement has somewhat uprooted public interest, and this new Banana Republic campaign offers a fresh angle on the actor aside from his superhero status. The outdoorsiness and road trip vibe fit his public persona as a fellow who adores nature and adventure, which keeps up an ingrained realism in fusing the actor with the aesthetics of the brand.

Which goes a long way into explaining the overwhelming support from the audiences for the campaign, etching a billboard-level proclamation for the new brand he’s become in such short time-cementing his market value even before his foray into what will most certainly eclipse fame among acting credits. Yet, amid this transition, Banana Republic selecting Corenswet is a winning call that overshadows the buzz around their October collection and the great ascent of the actor himself. Simply stated, “dear god, thank you BR.” Bridging fashion with fandom, this campaign has created a moment celebrated by both outfit designers and superhero movie buffs alike.

Talking the talk and looking the look, the Banana Republic campaign with David Corenswet speaks farther than just another Hollywood endorsement-there is a glance at how the next Superman plans to look upon his first sighting before ever donning the cape. The laid-back yet grown-up California coastal location clothing, and Corenswet’s ease and gracefulness before the lens go a long way toward crystallizing the actor whom the world will tie to bringing hope and heroism to the big screen. Maria Gabriela de Faria, who stars alongside him, has shared fun moments from the set. Meanwhile, fans shall enjoy this rare sight of him on Earth looking every bit like the Banana Republic leading man their October collection needed. The actor has also confirmed that a Superman sequel titled Man of Tomorrow is scheduled for 2027.
