James Gunn, the creative force behind Superman: Legacy, has given fans a sneak peek into the powerhouse cast set to revitalize Warner Bros.’ superhero universe. The director shared an engaging photo on Instagram, capturing the essence of the film’s main cast after an invigorating table read.
In the snapshot, Gunn and DC Films Co-CEO Peter Safran proudly stand alongside the beaming stars, teasing fans with a glimpse into the eagerly anticipated reboot. Gunn, in his Instagram post, refrains from revealing the actors’ names but tantalizes followers by mentioning the characters they will portray.
Hollywood sensation David Corenswet takes on the iconic role of Clark Kent/Superman, exuding charm as he stands with Nicholas Hoult, the formidable Lex Luthor. Unlike previous portrayals, Hoult has committed to the character’s classic bald look, a nod to the villain’s comic book origins.
The stellar lineup continues with Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, and María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer. Isabela Merced steps into the shoes of Hawkgirl, joined by Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner.
Gunn expresses his delight, captioning the photo with, “What a wonderful day.” As anticipation builds, “Superman: Legacy” is scheduled to soar into theaters on July 11, 2025, promising an exhilarating new chapter in the superhero cinematic universe.
