Meet David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, the new Superman and Lois Lane of the DC Universe

DC Studios has finally revealed who their next Superman and Lois Lane are going to be, and fans are taking the news pretty well. David Corenswet will be playing the Man of Steel in the upcoming “Superman: Legacy”, directed by James Gunn and set to release in 2025. Opposite to him, we’ll see Rachel Brosnahan giving life to the ever-daring reporter Lois Lane.

While some may recognize their names, the truth is that on the grander scale of Hollywood, they could also pass as relatively unknown actors, but both of them have some incredible credits to their names. There’s no denying that they are completely new to the superhero genre that’s grown exponentially in the past few decades, but that might be exactly what Gunn is looking for in his new DC Universe.
