With today being exactly two years from the planned release date of Superman: Legacy, Vanity Fair has the scoop on who will be in three more roles in the highly-anticipated James Gunn film.

The first of the three roles is that of the most obnoxious Green Lantern, Guy Gardner. Nathan Fillion, who has worked with James Gunn in The Suicide Squad and with small roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, has landed the role. Fillion is best known, of course, for his leading roles in Castle, Firefly and The Rookie; some interesting trivia is that he played the Green Lantern Hal Jordan in a direct-to-DVD animated film a few years back.

But that’s not all: Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) will be playing Hawkgirl and Edi Gathegi (Twilight, X-Men: First Class) will be Michael Holt a.k.a. Mister Terrific. (The use of Mister Terrific in other media might confirm why Echo Kellum’s Arrow character was “Curtis Holt” instead).

One additional thought: Is the use of characters who have always been with DC a sign that The Authority might not be showing up in this film after all? Especially with the inclusion of Hawkgirl, who is very similar to the Authority character Swift… we shall see.

You can read the original Vanity Fair report here. Superman: Legacy starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan is due out 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.

Adding to the recent casting announcement of Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent comes another scoop from TheWrap that Clark’s adoptive mother Martha Kent will be played by Neva Howell in James Gunn’s Superman.

Howell’s previous credits include playing a “Farmer Lady” in a Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, which should prepare her well for playing the agricultural matriarch. Other credits for Mrs. Howell include an extensive role on Beckinfield.

The new Superman film from director James Gunn is due to be released in theaters July 11, 2025; the film will star David Corenswet as Clark/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The movie is currently filming as we speak.
