Who’s who in ‘Superman’?

The film marks the reboot of the DC Extended Universe, which separates itself from Zack Snyder’s films, which is why Henry Cavill will not continue wearing the Man of Steel’s tights. James Gunn has chosen David Corenswet as the new Superman, who in this film will have to deal with his identity dichotomy: Clark Kent, the man, the journalist; Superman, the hero, the savior. Other characters from this universe who will be back are Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and the evil Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, and Isabela Merced are also part of the cast.

Little is known about the film’s premise, beyond that the hero will have to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his past as the adopted son of a family in the rural United States. Lex Luthor is presumably the antagonist, although specific details are not yet known. After ‘Superman’, DC Studios is working on ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’, ‘The Authority’ and ‘The Brave and the Bold’.

‘Superman premieres in July 2025.
