In an exclusive interview, David Corenswet and Isabel May discuss the heartbreak and hope of Mr. Irrelevant, and why the true story of John Tuggle rivals the Man of Steel's optimism.
David Corenswet has revealed that his upcoming film Mr. Irrelevant features a character, John Tuggle, who bears similarities to Superman. In an interview with IGN, Corenswet explained that Tuggle is a "Superman-like figure" in various aspects of his personality. Both the actor and actress Isabel May, who plays Tuggle's love interest Katie, expressed their hope for the film to evoke positive feelings in the audience.
The movie portrays Tuggle, who was the last player selected in the 1983 NFL draft, and his battle with cancer. Corenswet, who lost his own father to cancer, found the cancer scenes particularly challenging to portray.
