David Corenswet's 'Mr. Irrelevant' Posts Top Test Scores Before 2026 Release

In 2025, David Corenswet gained international fame for his role as Clark Kent in the DCU's first new movie, Superman, directed by DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn. After strong performances in projects like Pearl and Twisters, he has continued booking high-profile roles across the industry.

Corenswet stars in a biopic about late NFL quarterback John Tuggle titled Mr. Irrelevant: The John Tuggle Story, directed by Jonathan Levine and written by Nick Santora. Test screenings for Paramount's film earned an overall score of 92, including a 95 among men over 35 and a rare perfect 100 among women over 35.

The film reportedly has a $30 million budget, was filmed in Australia, and is set to open in theaters on Christmas Day 2026. Its release arrives during a crowded December slate—Jumanji: Open World shares the Christmas Day date, The Angry Birds Movie 3 opens Dec.
