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.

There is a very special episode of Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum today as Michael’s guest this week is Nicholas Hoult who will be playing Lex Luthor in the 2025 Superman film. They talk about the role of “the greatest criminal mind of our time” and Nicholas reveals who was the first Lex that he ever saw… and yep, it’s the same guy as our favorite. There’s even a comparing of notes about head-shaving and the audition process, and Michael enthusiastically cheered Hoult on.

Nicholas Hoult also asked Rosenbaum about his approach to Lex. “There’s a lot of things I related to the character,” Michael said, pointing to his own childhood. He also noted that Lex was “calm and collected” but “intense” when you crossed him. It’s a very complex character and Hoult will surely succeed like Michael did. You can watch the interview below.

James Gunn has revealed the new look for Superman’s “S” as principal photography of the new Superman film starts today (coincidentally, Superman’s birthday). He also revealed something new on his Instagram post:

“When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was SUPERMAN. Making our way to you July 2025,” he posted.

Considering a lot of the promotional material for the Christopher Reeve Superman film was labeled “Superman: The Movie,” this might be one of the first times that simply “Superman” has been the title for anything in live action. The new logo, by the way, is a bit like the one Alex Ross designed for the iconic Kingdom Come miniseries in 1996. That crest was later adapted into Brandon Routh’s suit for the Crisis on Infinite Earths TV event.

Superman, starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
