David Corenswet takes on the role of Superman, symbolizing a legacy of resilience linked to Christopher Reeve, a paralyzed actor and activist, and Michael Manganiello, an HIV survivor. Manganiello faced a grim HIV diagnosis in 1988 yet thrived and impacted AIDS treatment through NIH trials. As a pivotal member of the Reeve Foundation, he raised over $150 million for paralysis research while assisting Reeve in focusing his philanthropic efforts on health access and medical research. Their mutual support during difficult times highlights their profound connection and advocacy work in healthcare.
"I didn't physically take care of him, and I wasn't a nurse or anything like that, but I definitely helped, certainly after the accident. I helped organize and sort of focus Chris on a different set of priorities than he probably had before his accident."
"Before his paralysis, he was philanthropic, but not around medical research and health care access. He didn't really know much about the NIH or clinical trials."
