Fans Are Rallying Over David Corenswet Starring In An Emily Henry Adaptation, And I’m Obsessed With The Author’s Reaction To It
David Corenswet has become the latest heartthrob, with his performance in the recent blockbuster hit, “Superman,” causing a stir at the box office over the past fortnight. As we eagerly anticipate the actor’s rising stardom in the film industry, romance enthusiasts have already begun envisioning him as a leading man in some of Emily Henry’s upcoming book adaptations, and it’s delightful that even the author herself seems to be on board with this casting choice.
Emily Henry Fans Have Been Rallying Behind David Corenswet Starring In Book Lovers
It’s become apparent to many fans of Emily Henry’s books that David Corenswet will portray Charlie Lastra in the upcoming Superman role. This realization has sparked conversations among readers since 2023, when the adaptation for “Book Lovers” was announced and Sarah Heyward, producer of “Girls,” started writing the script. However, casting decisions have not been made yet, leaving fans to express their opinions on who they think should be cast.
Check out what one fan said on Twitter:
I haven’t caught Superman in action (yet, planning to go tomorrow), but I really hope David Corenswet is cast as the man from Emily Henry’s novels, particularly Charlie in “Book Lovers.” (July 13, 2025)
Currently, the story Book Lovers revolves around Nora Stephens, a diligent literary agent, as she retreats to a peaceful town in North Carolina upon her sister’s persuasion, escaping her tireless work schedule. Here, she unexpectedly encounters Charlie Lastra, a fellow colleague in the publishing industry who serves as an editor.
There’s an instant chemistry between them, and they both share a deep love for romance novels, yet their past disagreements make them seem more like adversaries than romantic partners. However, as they keep crossing paths during Nora’s August vacation, they gradually adjust their views of one another.
In simpler terms, Corenswet seems ideally suited for the role of a tall, stern literary agent. I concur with this observation.
David Corenswet needs to be in one of the Emily Henry adaptions asap.July 15, 2025
The character is portrayed as a tall, with dark features and an attractive appearance, who always dresses impeccably and is punctual, assertive, and quite witty, yet has a warm heart beneath his sarcasm. It’s no surprise that fans (including the one you see here) are eagerly anticipating Corenswet in this role!
Is it possible that David Corenswet might appear in films or television shows outside of DC’s upcoming projects, given his potential involvement in Superman sequels? While the specific project hasn’t been confirmed yet, there’s a good chance he could still take on roles unrelated to Superman.
So, as @stylesgala said in a tweet with nearly 5 thousand likes:
IF YOU’RE IN LINE FOR DAVID CORENSWET AS CHARLIE LASTRA STAY IN LINE!
Indeed, please maintain order, as both regular fans and the creator of Charlie Lastra herself have voiced their opinions about this potential development.

Here’s one way you could rephrase that sentence for a more natural and easy-to-read style:
“Grab ‘Book Lovers’ by Emily Henry from Amazon today! You can choose to buy the hardcover, paperback, eBook version for Kindle, or listen to it as an audiobook on Audible.

In the midst of the widespread admiration for David Corenswet as the main character in “Book Lovers”, one enthusiastic spectator decided to contact Emily Henry personally via Instagram. This is how the writer replied, according to source X:

Not only that, but fans have also observed that Emily Henry has begun following the actor on Instagram. Take a look for yourself!
Isn’t it thrilling to imagine that enthusiasts of “Book Lovers” might participate in choosing the actors for the film? I find the idea delightful, especially since author Emily Henry seems interested and may even facilitate it, following discussions about casting among fans online.
Here we go! It’s time for us to bring our ideas to life, folks. While we do that, we’ll keep you updated about “Book Lovers” and other exciting book adaptations in the pipeline. The first Emily Henry movie is “People We Meet On Vacation,” set to premiere on Netflix on January 9, 2026.
