Superman: Legacy, the next movie in the DC superhero film franchise, will hit theatres in 2025, according to James Gunn, who is currently in charge of it.
With Gunn having recently assumed creative control over DC’s filmography, the upcoming picture is probably going to be a reboot of the well-liked comic-based cinematic universe.
Here is what is known about the new film and its cast, despite the fact that very few details have been confirmed.
But it’s crucial to remember that this Superman movie is not the same as the one that J.J. Abrams and Ta-Nehisi Coates are making, which is unrelated to Gunn’s work but is still in development at Warner Bros. Coates and Abrams’ film will centre on a Black Superman.
Who plays Superman: Legacy in the cast?
Although Superman: Legacy is still in its very early stages, James Gunn announced on Twitter on June 27, 2023, that David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan had been selected to play Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane, respectively.
Both were well-cast, fitting the clichéd ideas we have of the characters, and Gunn called them “wonderful people, as well as incredible actors.”
David Corenswet portraying Clark Kent/Superman
Henry Cavill will relinquish his role as Superman to David Corenswet. Although he is best known for his roles in the Ryan Murphy television series Hollywood and The Politician, he also had a breakthrough performance in the horror movie Pearl last year. The casting makes perfect sense because he and Cavill are almost exact replicas.
Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan
No one less than Rachel Brosnahan, the Marvellous Mrs. Maisel herself, will portray Superman’s journalist girlfriend Lois Lane. The Marvellous Mrs.
Maisel’s lead character is the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor’s most well-known role. However, she has also starred in House of Cards, Patriot’s Day, and I’m Your Woman.
With whom is Henry Cavill being replaced?
It was revealed on June 27, 2023, that David Corenswet will take Henry Cavill’s place as the head of DC’s Justice League.
Superman: Legacy is not a sequel; rather, it is a relaunch of the franchise, but Corenswet will still assume Cavill’s role.

What’s the deal with the new Superman?
James Gunn has not disclosed any significant plot points for the upcoming Superman film. The only thing he has confirmed is that Superman will appear in the film at a younger age instead of being an origin story.
But as Peter Safran clarified, “It centres on Superman striking a balance between his human upbringing and his Kryptonian heritage. He embodies justice, truth, and the American way of life. He represents kindness in a society where it is considered archaic.
Will James Gunn be helming the upcoming Superman film?
Gunn revealed that he would be directing and writing Superman: Legacy on March 15, 2023.
Then, a little over a year ago, I discovered a way in that was largely focused on Superman’s ancestry—how both his parents, the Kansas farmers and the aristocratic Kryptonians, shaped who he is and the decisions he makes.
I thus made the decision to start writing the script at last. However, even though Peter Safran and others were constantly pressuring me to commit (sorry, Peter), I was reluctant to do so.”
Does the upcoming Superman movie have a trailer?
There isn’t a trailer for the upcoming Superman: Legacy since it’s still in the very early stages of pre-production.
The film’s release date is still unknown, so Warner Brothers probably won’t begin promoting it until a few months beforehand.
