Writer and director James Gunn he added Nathan Fillion (Firefly The suicide squad), Isabella Merced (Transformers: The Last Knight), AND Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) to its cast Superman: Legacy movie. They join the previous cast David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, e Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
The three new cast members will have major roles in the film with Merced playing Hawkgirl, Gathegi playing Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific and Fillion playing a Green Lantern! Vanity Fair’s report suggests he could be playing Guy Gardner.
This casting is exciting, I especially like the fact that Fillion will be playing a Green Lantern! Guy Gardner’s version would suit him perfectly, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Fillion has voiced Green Lantern in animated films such as Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, Justice League: Doom, AND Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.
The film will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, driven by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
The story will involve “Superman joining a world where superheroes already exist.” These three superheroes are just a handful and may or may not be part of the superhero team, The Authority.
Superman: Legacy will launch the film portion of DC Studios’ Gods and Monsters: Part 1. It is expected to begin in early 2024, right on track for its currently scheduled theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
