Superman: Legacy’s casting is almost done, revealing the film’s director, James Gunn. He has also shared promising updates on the DC movie’s production. It will be the first film of the new DCU and will be led by David Corenswet, known for playing the lead in Netflix’s The Politician. This film has been in the news since it was announced, and Gunn, who is socially very active, kept updating the fans on the movie’s progress.
DC is going through a complete reboot after Gunn and Peter Safran took over the studios, and many actors were let go by them except for Jason Momoa. Momoa still has a chance to continue his future in the new DCU, as fans want to see him in the role of Lobo. The DC character is the last living person on the planet of Czarnia and works as a mercenary and bounty hunter. When Jason’s Lobo rumors came out, many expressed their wish to cast him as one of the villains in Gunn’s movie, but unfortunately, that is not happening.
Superman is one of the most popular superheroes, and kids love this character even before they learn about DC and Marvel. Many movies have been made on this Kryptonian, and actors like Richard Donner, Christopher Reeves, Brendon Routh, Henry Cavill, and others have donned the cape before David Corenswet. From cast announcements to production details, let us quickly look at things we know about Superman: Legacy.
