DC Studio's Superman & Lois Lane Casting Shortlists Have Fans Excited

The Favored Son of Krypton
There seems to be a clear-cut favorite amongst the actors testing for Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El, and it is David Corenswet.
Meanwhile, the Lois Lane casting race is far less clear...
MVR
She really is the most valuable Rachel in Hollywood right now.
The Duchess of Metropolis
Then again, Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor has a whole court's worth of support.
Look Out For Mackey
Emma Mackey (Emily, Death on the Nile) clearly evokes the look of Margot Kidder's Lois Lane from Superman: The Movie – which could be exactly the classic touch James Gunn and co. go for.
All These Ladies Are Wins
No matter who gets cast, it looks like we are in for a quality new take on Lois Lane! Thank the stars.
The Favored Pair
If there is such a thing as DC casting consensus... this seems to be it, at the moment.
Bet Lex Leaving With Something
Even if Nicholas Hoult doesn't get cast as Superman, a lot of DC fans are betting he'll be leaving with that Lex Luthor role...
Can't Get Gosling???
Those Barbie trailers have some people thinking Ryan Gosling needs to double-down with Warner Bros. and play the other iconic hunk, Superman.
Too Cool For Superman
This new Superman movie's greatest challenge isn't casting: it's overcoming the rampant cynicism of the modern world. That "S" REALLY better stand for "hope..."
SnyderBros Say...
Wouldn't be an accurate measure of the DC fandom without... all this.
THEY'RE ALL GOOD
It's a weird feeling to see an overall positive reaction to this casting pool. It truly may be a new dawn at DC.
Superman: Legacy has a release date of July 11, 2025.
