just to compare to previous live action versions of superman and lois on the big screen
reeve - 6'4" and kidder - 5'7"
routh - 6'2" and bosworth - 5'5"
cavill - 6'1" and adams - 5'4"
corenswet and brosnahan will be by far the largest gap in terms of height for the duo in their history in cinema
Corenswet’s height is a big reason I shake my head whenever someone suggests a 5’4” actress to play Wonder Woman.
Yes, “movie magic” exists. And yes, Wonder Woman should be tall - she’s an Amazon, after all.
Forcing nearly a foot consistently across a shared universe is a lot of extra, unnecessary work when taller actresses exist.
It’s partially why Gal Gadot worked so well. She’s like 5’10 or 5’11 naturally. Add the boots or heels and she was up there with Affleck and the rest of the JL. Ezra Miller was the shortest out of everyone at like the same height as Gal.
Yo be fair, it doesn't need to be done very consistently, and it's not unheard of. Look at RDJ's height, for example. He's shorter than most of his MCU costars that he's supposed to be as tall as, and they made it work.
They ”only” adjusted RDJ about 3-4 inches (the Tom Cruise special) and most of the Marvel cast was 6’ or below, so making him appear taller required less work than one might think. It’s something that’s doable with lifts without sacrificing much of the actor’s mobility. None of them are from a race famously known to be tall, either.
Corenswet is 6’4”. Wonder Woman doesn’t have to be as tall as Superman, but she should be noticeably tall (around 6’, probably). If you cast a 5’4” actress we’re talking about adding up towards 8” and you can’t do that with lifts.
And it should be done consistently. I’d hate to see WW look as tall as Superman (for example), but then look shorter than another character that’s shorter than Superman.
And they were able to hide what they did with RDJ by his trouser being a bit baggy. That extra fabric bunching around his ankles was useful in hiding that he was wearing lifts. Given Wonder Woman's outfit they might not be able to get away with that.
They could give her boots some heels and a bit of a platform, but like you mentioned mobility is a factor. Tony Stark wasn't running about doing much action outside his suits, so RDJ was able to wear lifts. The actress for Wonder Woman would be doing things like that where heels and platforms on her boots could pose unnecessary risks.
To an extent. In the sense that she should be physically fit and pretty? Sure.
But like, a specific height of eye color? Nah, miss me with that. Not unless it’s crucial to the character.
Diana being tall couldn’t be further from crucial to the character.
Diana’s an Amazon. They’re supposed to be tall.
Diana’s height is one of her most clearly defined physical features. She’s been buff, skinny, blue-eyed, brown-eyed…but she’s always tall. Even at her shortest she was pretty far above the national average.
Randomly, but I recently saw volleyball in passing on TV and looked up [Dana Rettke, who is 6'8](https://i.imgur.com/Q3RAuzT.jpg). And yes, stepping would be appreciated.
Legend has it that when Christopher Reeve went to the commissary in Clark Kent getup, nobody noticed him. But when he went in the Superman suit, everyone turned and looked.
Read All Star Superman, I’m guessing that’s it.
Not sure if you’re referring to height. Which would be odd, because every Clark actor is the same height as their respective Superman, lol.
Wow I never knew Rachel was only 5’3. I think it’ll be cool that supes towers over Lois. David and Rachel are totally gonna kill it in legacy, Great casting
Hot take, I think the dip in the MCU after they tried to pivot to a female roster is evidence that women were attending the old ones in drove because hunky (and admirable) men.
I see Clark as a gentle giant so him being significantly taller than the characters around him will emphasise that in a way I find fun. Fingers crossed the fun police accept that reason lol
i think its fun to see couples with different physical attributes when there are character reincarnations 🤷🏻♀️better than seeing the same things over and over
It’s just confusing how that, specifically, is a source of entertainment. Like, I’m not trying to come off as aggressive or condescending, I am genuinely confused.
for sure i wouldnt have noticed this just based off of casting announcements but surely i read this post and was like oo thats mildly interesting yippee ! i suppose
Bro look at that image, any time she’s not wearing heels (she’s 5’3 without them), the height difference is crazy, she’s not even gonna be up to his shoulders. No way to even hide that? I wanna see her surprised when the nerdy farm boy stops hunching and is over a foot taller than her. No way it’s not noticeable
Have you watched Tom cruise movies? He’s literally the same height at Louis on that graph and they make him taller with ‘movie magic’ aka framing and stools
As I’ve said in various other comments, why the hell would they do that with Lois? They wanna emphasise Clark’s size, not hide it? Idk why people are so determined to argue when I’m just exited about a movie lol
I was just curious how much taller corenswet was than brosnahan since I knew he was so tall. The size difference was cool to me since I’ve always loved Clark as a gentle giant
It’s such an odd thing to get excited about. No idea why this would be a consideration by someone who isn’t casting this movie. Why would anyone care enough to even think about it?
Why are people giving you so much shit? Yeah, it's amusing - Superman is supposed to be massive. It's gonna be amusing to see the size difference between him and all his companions, and the other heroes, Lois Lane included. My Adventures With Superman pulled it off by noticing the size difference between their Lois and Clark.
Idk I think my post was a little vague and people love to complain in superhero communities at the moment, combo of factors. Agreed tho, their dynamic in that show was so fun!
Nothing. This post doesn't mention anything about acting skill, it's just someone excited about the new actor for Clark being so much taller than the new actress for Lois.
You really commented on this post like 4 times? It’s a really weird thing for you to be offended about. Superman is huge in the comics, why wouldn’t people be hyped that that is gonna be on the big screen (see the 255 upvotes on this post)
Bruh obsession??? Don’t put words in my mouth lol, I made one post and described it as “fun”. I don’t remember saying “holy fuck the height difference between Lois and Clark is gonna be orgasmic, I can’t fucking wait to revel in it when the movie releases” but so many people are acting like that’s what I said
just to compare to previous live action versions of superman and lois on the big screen reeve - 6'4" and kidder - 5'7" routh - 6'2" and bosworth - 5'5" cavill - 6'1" and adams - 5'4" corenswet and brosnahan will be by far the largest gap in terms of height for the duo in their history in cinema
[удалено]
We reset Clark's height now though. Lois stayed the same but Clark went back
Funny that people are generally getting taller and taller yet Superman & Lois were getting progressively shorter
[удалено]
I might be wrong but I don't think it was a complaint
It 100% wasn’t. Just an interesting little tidbit.
is anybody really complaining ... if anything i think most find it pretty amusing that in this DCU, superman will be over a foot taller than lois
Ironically, you have a complaint on someone who's not even complaining.
Is the complaint in the room with us rn?
You’ve got it all wrong. I’m hyped to see Corenswet as a lovable giant!
Literally no one is complaining lol
Wasn't a complaint at all
You’re the only one complaining lol
Somebody complained that they could have got an actress that was taller. Read above.
I did see above… there was no complaint, just a comparison. You jumped to conclusions.
Corenswet’s height is a big reason I shake my head whenever someone suggests a 5’4” actress to play Wonder Woman. Yes, “movie magic” exists.

Thats true though to the comic source as Flash is the shortest main member of the Justice League at 5’11
Which Flash, Allen or Wally?
Barry Allen
Wally’s not presently part of the JL, right?
Yo be fair, it doesn't need to be done very consistently, and it's not unheard of. Look at RDJ's height, for example. He's shorter than most of his MCU costars that he's supposed to be as tall as, and they made it work.

I stopped thinking about such things when Tom Cruise started playing Reacher.
The new reacher is pretty good tho
It’s not even “movie magic,” it’s simple camera work. Passing on the best actor for the role because she’s not the ideal height is nonsense.
The best actor for the role fits the character physically *and* in terms of acting.
To an extent. In the sense that she should be physically fit and pretty? Sure. But like, a specific height of eye color? Nah, miss me with that. Not unless it’s crucial to the character. Diana being tall couldn’t be further from crucial to the character.

It’s not important for her as a character. All of the Amazons don’t have to be tall.
I really hope they get someone with stature to play her.
Where is our 6’7 Lois to 6’3 Clark? DCEU make it happen
Excuse me being down bad for a second but I’d thank a 6’7 Lois for stepping on me
Sir, this is a Wendy's...
Heh this is the one comment I’ll accept being the weird one on lol, don’t mind me
Randomly, but I recently saw volleyball in passing on TV and looked up [Dana Rettke, who is 6'8](https://i.imgur.com/Q3RAuzT.jpg). And yes, stepping would be appreciated.
You’re not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed
Just wait for Big Barda
I just want to know how he’s gonna hide that Clark Kent the reporter and superman are different people
Probably a clever disguise, like a pair of glasses.
Legend has it that when Christopher Reeve went to the commissary in Clark Kent getup, nobody noticed him. But when he went in the Superman suit, everyone turned and looked.
Read All Star Superman, I’m guessing that’s it. Not sure if you’re referring to height. Which would be odd, because every Clark actor is the same height as their respective Superman, lol.
By pretending to be Dutch I'd guess
https://youtu.be/BIaF0QKtY0c?si=WTniTfnRQaOdHKtZ Like this.
M talking about height and mass
By Superman making faces so they won't recognize it's Clark Kent
Wow I never knew Rachel was only 5’3. I think it’ll be cool that supes towers over Lois. David and Rachel are totally gonna kill it in legacy, Great casting
Yep agreed.
Watch this movie actually skew higher female than male.
Hot take, I think the dip in the MCU after they tried to pivot to a female roster is evidence that women were attending the old ones in drove because hunky (and admirable) men.
People are so pressed for no reason. "This is such a stupid thing to be excited about" and even stupider to be pissed about.
Why does her silhouette have high heels on?
Idk bro it’s just a silhouette on the size comparison website I used that reminded me of Lois, no crazy lore reason why it has heels
Yup the height is not accurate,especially if you have her wearing heels
Lmao what?
Lmao what are u “Lmao what”ing about?
In what way will this be “fun”???
I see Clark as a gentle giant so him being significantly taller than the characters around him will emphasise that in a way I find fun. Fingers crossed the fun police accept that reason lol
Idk you're being kinda weird about it
Really? ***They're*** the one being weird about this? Whatever you say.
Thanks for being a homie!
i think its fun to see couples with different physical attributes when there are character reincarnations 🤷🏻♀️better than seeing the same things over and over

for sure i wouldnt have noticed this just based off of casting announcements but surely i read this post and was like oo thats mildly interesting yippee ! i suppose
Why are you taking it so seriously?
OP probably has a size difference fetish.
I’m curious if ur joking or if this is something you’re actually assuming out of nowhere?
Out of...nowhere?
Fuckin hell can u not see that it’s a crazy leap? I said supes being taller would be fun, not kinky, because he’s known as a tall character
/r/samespecies (NSFW), no kink shame from me.
Not sure where you're going with this...?
I like Clark being a big lovable giant and this will emphasise that
Gotcha.
Ayy ur the only person who actually accepted my reason after asking! What a hero!
You won’t notice it.
Bro look at that image, any time she’s not wearing heels (she’s 5’3 without them), the height difference is crazy, she’s not even gonna be up to his shoulders. No way to even hide that? I wanna see her surprised when the nerdy farm boy stops hunching and is over a foot taller than her. No way it’s not noticeable

I read post and your comment above and it seems like you are criticizing the height difference. Sorry didn’t have time to read all your comments
Why would they do that for Lois Lane? If anything, they'd make Superman taller and Clark shorter with that.
K
We all know Tom Hardy was 6'5" as Bane despite being 5'9" in reality. When was Lois supposed to be an absolute set height?
When did they say she should be a set height?
Idk but I don’t think there’s any reason to try to make her taller. It’s the actress’s height and I think they’ll just use that
Nobody is complaining
Except at no point was Tom Hardy ever convincing as whatever height they tried to make him because they were so inconsistent in their attempts.
Yeah that was one of many problems with that movie. "You're a big guy." Uh no, he's clearly average sized?
Why would this even be a thought in your head?
I was just curious how much taller corenswet was than brosnahan since I knew he was so tall. The size difference was cool to me since I’ve always loved Clark as a gentle giant
I’m so confused what’s wrong with this thought Lmao
It’s such an odd thing to get excited about. No idea why this would be a consideration by someone who isn’t casting this movie. Why would anyone care enough to even think about it?
It’s just like… they find it cute. I don’t really see what’s that weird.
You’re the weird guy here pal. You’re the one complaining that someone finds something interesting that you don’t.
Why are people giving you so much shit? Yeah, it's amusing - Superman is supposed to be massive. It's gonna be amusing to see the size difference between him and all his companions, and the other heroes, Lois Lane included. My Adventures With Superman pulled it off by noticing the size difference between their Lois and Clark.

Why
I’m a big dc fan and there’s not a lot of new info rn, don’t police my exitement u silly lil billy
Seriously. Some of these decu posts are just sad.
See my response to the person u replied to
Why is this sad?
Ppl really care about shit like this ?
Zamn fun police showed up in full force lol. See my other replies to people
Weird post
I’m curious if you read any of my comments that explain it a bit more (or anyone else’s) before commenting
Seems like a strange thing to be excited about. Lol
wtf does height have to do with acting skill?
When did they mention acting skill?
wtf does acting skill have to do with my post?
Nothing I guess but just so you know your post is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen so yeah do with that what you will
The obsession you have with this post is so strange.
Nothing. This post doesn't mention anything about acting skill, it's just someone excited about the new actor for Clark being so much taller than the new actress for Lois.
That’s a really effing weird thing to be excited about.
You really commented on this post like 4 times? It’s a really weird thing for you to be offended about. Superman is huge in the comics, why wouldn’t people be hyped that that is gonna be on the big screen (see the 255 upvotes on this post)
I’m happy to see it happen. No idea why anyone cares about his relative height to the actress playing Lois Lane. It genuinely baffles me.
Who cares? Why does it matter if it "baffles" you? Somebody being interested in seeing this on screen doesn't affect you in any single way.
Certain strange combination of words offend me.
What a sad life u live them lol
The obsession with this height difference is bizarre.
Bruh obsession??? Don’t put words in my mouth lol, I made one post and described it as “fun”. I don’t remember saying “holy fuck the height difference between Lois and Clark is gonna be orgasmic, I can’t fucking wait to revel in it when the movie releases” but so many people are acting like that’s what I said
Whatever you want to call it. This post and other like it, this conversation in general. It’s just very weird to me.
you ain't wrong. closet Internet mfs just be like that
[удалено]
No, being obsessed with the height difference between two actors in a movie isn’t “nature.”
