"Superman" star David Corenswet said he snuck into an IMAX screening of his hit film in Philadelphia. The showing was only his second time seeing the movie.

David Corenswet joins the DC Universe as the newest Superman. But, he hails far from Krypton or Clark Kent's adopted Smallville, Kansas home, as he actually grew up in Center City Philadelphia.

Actor David Corenswet, aka Superman, has declared his love for the Philadelphia Eagles for many years, including his loyalty to the team's Tush Push superstar.

So as I got older and a little taller and came into myself a little bit, I had a couple people reflect back to me that I had kind of Superman energy. I liked that.”Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

The actor, who got his start on the city's stages, is a more fun Superman than most would imagine. The film has some other Philly-bred surprises too.

Philadelphia plays a major role in the new "Superman" movie, though not in terms of setting. (Sorry, the caped crusader doesn't fly by the Linc.) The region can claim several cast members, including the starring superhero.

Superman's biological family may come from Krypton, but David Corenswet, the latest actor to play the caped crusader, has family ties to the Crescent City.

Before the release of his breakout movie, Superman, the Philly-raised actor was seen walking around with some important gear. In one of his latest Instagram posts, Corenswet wore a pair of light gray dress pants and a white tank top with a sweater tied across his chest. But his bag was the true statement piece.
