The new film “Superman: Legacy” has its cast assembled for a table read in Atlanta. The Instagram photo shows the actors in character. David Corenswet is the eponymous superhero opposite Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The photo reveals Nicholas Hoult’s transformation as Lex Luthor, sporting a shaved head.
The cast is filled with comic book characters, causing concerns about overcrowding with superheroes. However, James Gunn emphasized the creation of a universe, not just shoehorning in superheroes for the sake of it. He and Peter Safran are launching a new DC Universe across various media.
Gunn critiqued the prevalence of “cameo porn” in superhero films, emphasizing that characters should serve the story, not be forced in for other reasons. “Superman: Legacy” is set to open in theaters on July 11, 2025, marking an exciting start to the new DC Universe.
