    By Express News Service

    With James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy planned to go on floors in January 2024, the makers of the film have cast David Corenswet in the titular role. 

    In addition to David, the film will also feature Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. David has appeared in Netflix series The Politician and films like The Sunlit Night, Affairs of State. Superman: Legacy will not serve as an origin story, but talk about Man of Steel as an established character.

    Superman: Legacy will be the first film which will be backed by DC after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over. “I completely relate to Superman, because he’s an outsider who feels like an alien, but also the ultimate insider. And that’s kind of like what I feel like,” James Gunn said to The Hollywood Reporter.

  • James Gunn finds his lead stars for ‘Superman: Legacy’

    The film, which Gunn also wrote, has a release date of July 11, 2025. LOS ANGELES: Actor David Corenswet will suit up as Superman for filmmaker James Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy”, which marks the start of a new chapter in DC Universe (DCU).

    The project, which Gunn and his fellow CEO of DC Studios Peter Safran announced in March, has roped in “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” star Rachel Brosnahan to play Lois Lane, according to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.

    Corenswet, best known for featuring in two Netflix series “The Politician” and “Hollywood” from Ryan Murphy, beat out the likes of Nicolas Hoult and Tom Brittney to bag the role of Clark Kent aka Superman.

    He will be the fourth actor to play the superhero in films after Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, and Henry Cavill.

    Brosnahan, also known for featuring in “House of Cards”, bagged the role of Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane over Emma Mackey and Phoebe Dynevor.

    The part was earlier played in movies by Margot Kidder, Kate Bosworth, and most recently Amy Adams.

    “Superhero: Legacy” deals with the superhero’s journey to make sense of both his aristocratic Kryptonian heritage and his small-town, midwestern upbringing as Clark Kent.

    The film, which Gunn also wrote, has a release date of July 11, 2025.

    The project will mark the first phase of the revamped slate for the DCU, which also includes upcoming titles “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” with Andy Muschietti as the director, and “The Authority”.
