The first major film in the reborn DC cinematic universe reaches a new milestone: the main cast of Superman: Legacy has reunited with director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran for the first reading of the script. In fact, it is the first time that this supergroup meets and Nathan Fillion, who will wear the Green Lantern ring, has commemorated it with a photograph in which We can now put a face to the entire cast. Without the costumes, for the record.
With the strike of actors and scriptwriters over and a script finished just before it was produced, the film that will spearhead Gods and Monsters, the first chapter of this new era for DC studios, begins to take shape. facing a release date that has not been changed since its own announcement: the July 11, 2025. Which brings us to the critical question: Who will play what role in Superman: Legacy
If we go through the photograph shared by the official DC accounts, starting from the left and reviewing its members clockwise, we can now put a face and name to all the main characters of the film directed by James Gunn himself. Who, by the way, also appears in the image with producer Peter Safran. So the thing remains like this.
- With a blonde bun, on the far left, we have Sara Sampaiowho will play Eve Teschmacher, Lex Luthor’s assistant.
- With sunglasses in hand we have Eddie Gathegiwho will be Mr. Terrific, a villain with a privileged intellect
- The only one with a cap is David Corenswetwho will be none other than Superman / Clark Kent, the last son of the planet Krypton
- Just to the right of David, and according to the photo description, we have Otis. A name that doesn’t even appear in the IMDB file.
- Showing off his newly shaved head we have Nicholas Hoult who will play Lex Luthor, Superman’s archenemy (although in the DC photo they both seem to get along well). And he was up for the lead role.
- With his sunglasses covering his eyes we have the producer Peter Safranresponsible along with James Gunn for this new stage of DC studios
- Redhead and with a smile from ear to ear: Skyler Gisondo was born to play Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s best friend and Planet intern
- Guiding the camera, to the far right, we have Anthony Carrigan. In the film he will be Rex Mason / Metamorpho, who is capable of turning his body into practically any matter.
- Covering your eyes to protect yourself from the sun is Rachel Brosnahan, Lois Lane herself. The Planet’s star journalist and Superman’s weak point. Besides kryptonite, of course.
- We could see it in Madame Web and went Dora the explorer. Now, Isabela Merced (with a white sweater with black spots) will be Hawkgirl herself
James Gunn announcing the first Gods and Monsters plans for DC
- In the center of the image, with glasses and white hair, himself James Gunn. The director, screenwriter and producer of the film. Will he have a cameo?
- Taking the photo and in the foreground we have Nathan Fillion, who will be Green Lantern Guy Gardner. Maybe the next Justice League is starting to be cooked.
- Last but not least, we have below left a María Gabriela de Faria. In the film she will play Angela Spica / The Engineer. What’s more, we may possibly see her before her in her role since she belongs to a supergroup that will soon debut on the small screen: The Aunthority.
Superman: Legacy is freely inspired by the comic All Star Superman and will reintroduce the Man of Steel to the general public without again offering the clichés of the source films. It is not ruled out that there are more actors outside of photography, and it has even been rumored that Milly Alcock, the new Supergirl, would have a role or appear on screen before starring in her own film.
In any case, it is a long-awaited moment for fans of Superman and comics. And, at the same time, an enormous responsibility: with the Snyderverse completely closed, the cinematic rebirth of the Man of Steel with Superman: Legacy It will mean a new stage for the studio, Warner itself and, who knows? Hopefully until a new turning point for superhero cinema. Let’s hope for the best.
