The memes are out.
prevnextCasting APPROVED
David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are the next Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane, respectively. This is absolutely great casting. SUPERMAN: LEGACY is off to a great start. They look plucked right from the 1930’s ACTION COMICS era. pic.twitter.com/k1Q70GzX5E

A lot of DC fans are very happy that these are the selections Gunn and DC Studios are going with.

This new DC Universe is looking good so far!

All Gunn has to do is get the shot of a ripped David Corenswet Superman towering above Lois Lane and the theater seats will fill with thirsty swooners.
prevnextJust Make A Great Superman Movie
Praying for a great Superman trilogy. That’s all I want. Time will tell on the rest of the cinematic universe but begging for three masterclass Superman films that take full advantage of his supporting cast and villains and don’t get bogged down by a bunch of other stuff.

It's about the only hope the DC movie franchise has right now. No pressure kids.

Also calling him diet Henry is dumb they're all white people who look like Superman

This argument against similarity in looks is kind of silly. The look is SUPERMAN.

David Corenswet probably didn't take his role as "The Projectionist" in Ty West's horror prequel Pearl thinking he'd soon be wearing the Superman symbol on his chest. Movies are indeed W I L D.

Nicholas Hoult hasn't had much luck with DC castings, despite serious effort. Hopefully, Gunn still gets him in there, somewhere.

The biggest hurdle DC Studios may have to overcome is its own fandom.

Between this Superman: Legacy casting; The Arrowverse Superman & Lois TV series, the upcoming My Adventures With Superman animated series, or DC's new Superman comic series... it's never been better to be a fan of the Man of Steel.
Superman: Legacy has a release date of Summer 2025.
