We are now starting to get casting news for the Superman: Legacy film which is coming in 2025 from producer/director/DC Guru James Gunn.

Multiple trades are reporting that David Corenswet, long a fan favorite to be cast in the role, has landed the coveted part of Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman. Playing Lois Lane opposite him is The Marvelous Ms. Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan. And yes, Corenswet truly does look like what would happen if you mixed Henry Cavill and Tom Welling into a blender, doesn’t he?

“I completely relate to Superman because he’s everything I am,” James Gunn said in a THR interview. “He’s somebody who is an outsider who feels like an alien, but also the ultimate insider, because he’s fucking Superman. And that’s kind of like what I feel like.”

Corenswet himself had said in an Entertainment Weekly interview that playing Superman would be a “pie-in-the-sky ambition.” Well, guess what? It’s happening.

Look for Superman: Legacy in 2025.

The first official picture of David Corenswet in costume as Superman is finally here.

Director James Gunn’s new Superman movie itself might not be out until July of 2025, but fans today got their first look at Corenswet wearing the costume after an “S” reveal happened a few months back. The “S” is inspired by the design from Alex Ross in the Kingdom Come comic book series, and the suit itself looks to be less colorful than expected, but still very solid. And… are those underpants on the outside that we see? We can’t wait to see this in action!

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and more. It is expected to release to theaters July 11, 2025.
