James Gunn and David Corenswet’s VIRAL Reaction to Govinda’s Superman Dance Will Leave You Speechless

In the age of internet crossovers, it doesn’t take much for two wildly different worlds to collide, and spark magic. The latest example? Hollywood’s James Gunn and David Corenswet, the new Superman in DC’s upcoming Superman (2025) reboot, caught off guard (and blown away) by Bollywood legend Govinda’s iconic Superman dance.

Yes, you read that right. In a viral moment sweeping social media, a behind-the-scenes clip from a press junket shows Gunn and Corenswet being shown a video from Raja Babu (1994), where Govinda, in a sparkly Superman-esque costume, performs a hilariously flamboyant dance sequence that’s now a cult favorite among meme lovers.

“Wait… is that supposed to be Superman?!”

Gunn, known for blending humor and heart in his superhero films (Guardians of the Galaxy, Peacemaker), bursts into laughter as Govinda strikes his infamous poses. “This is the best Superman I’ve seen all week,” Gunn quips. Corenswet, momentarily speechless, eventually leans in and simply mutters: “It is… transcendent.”

Their genuine reaction, equal parts amusement and awe, has lit up fan pages across platforms like Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. One fan wrote: “Now THIS is the multiverse I want.” Another commented: “Govinda walked so Snyder’s Superman could fly.”

East Meets West in the Most Unexpected Way

This surreal pop culture moment has sparked a wave of appreciation for vintage Bollywood, with international fans diving into Govinda’s deep catalogue of dance routines and comedic roles. For Indian fans, it’s a welcome recognition of their beloved star on a global stage, however humorous the context may be.

The clip’s viral success is also a testament to the growing cultural overlap between Hollywood and Bollywood, and how nostalgia, dance, and superheroes can unite global fandoms in the most unpredictable ways.

Could a Cameo Be in the Cards?

While there’s no word on whether Govinda will make a cameo in Gunn’s Superman reboot (don’t get your hopes up, but also don’t count anything out), the moment has certainly fueled online chatter. Gunn himself, never shy about fan service, ended the viral clip with a grin and a cryptic, “Maybe we should get him in the next one…”

Whatever happens, the internet has crowned Govinda the original Superman of sass, and James Gunn and David Corenswet are officially fans.
