The “Superman” leads admit they are feeling the pressure to live up to the hype of the iconic superhero's story.

In Nelson Canlas’ report on “24 Oras Weekend” on Saturday, Rachel Brosnahan, said it's her biggest challenge.

“I think it is kind of the constant pursuit of living up to the high bar that's been set for us by all the different versions of these characters that have lived before us,” she said.

David Corenswet, the new Superman, added that director James Gunn and the rest of the cast and crew help alleviate the challenges on set.

“I think your focus goes to like, great, I want to show up for these people, I want to do good work for these people,” David said.

David and Rachel also said that they also hope to come back to the Philippines as they do not have the time to explore.

“We’ve heard about the beaches,” David said.

David and Rachel previously said they appreciate the love and support from Filipino fans.

The two actors, plus director James and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran, visited Manila for the first stop of their promotion tour.

“Superman” opens in cinemas and IMAX on July 9. It establishes the iconic hero in the new DC Studios cinematic universe headed by Gunn and Safran.

The film also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
