The new DCU has been set in motion, and one of the most anticipated films of this new era isSuperman Legacy, which is set to star David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
Superman Legacyis gearing up to start filming in March and is set to premiere in theaters on July 11, 2025, with the cast also including Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Maria Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer.
The ensemble includes Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, Sean Gunn, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced and Nathan Fillion.
Gunn has assured DC fans thatSuperman Legacyis not an origin story and instead will pick up Supermans journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
The character is described as the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
