David corenswet ( affairs of state ) 2018

I feel like the real reason he didn't go shirtless wa because he didn't get his body in the shape to...I mean he got big, but he didn't get lean he still had a bit of a gut from bulking...so I assuming if he keeps up the working out he'll probably be ready for the next movie

The shape you’re expected to be in for these movies is outlined IN THE CONTRACTS that the actors sign. They don’t transform their bodies in the hopes of having shirtless scenes in the movie. That’s done and settled before cameras roll.
 
“David Corenswet gained approximately 40 pounds of muscle for his role as Superman to meet the physical demands of portraying the iconic superhero. Director James Gunn specifically instructed Corenswet to focus on building his shoulders and embodying a "farm boy" aesthetic—strong but not overly chiseled like a bodybuilder—to align with the character's Kansas roots and natural strength.”

Corenswet saw the role as an opportunity to push his limits, aiming to "get as big as possible within reason" without using performance-enhancing drugs. The transformation was also necessary to fill out Superman’s iconic, skin-tight suit and to handle the physicality of stunts and fight scenes.”

No, the real reason he didn't go shirtless was because it wasn't written into the movie by James Gunn. It isn't that complicated. David didn't write and direct the movie.
