Fans remain eager to learn who DC Studios will cast as Superman: Legacy's Clark Kent and Lois Lane, with Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet, Tom Brittney, Emma Mackey, Phoebe Dynevor, and Rachel Brosnahan all said to be in the mix.
Those actors, and potentially a few others, are thought to have screen tested at Warner Bros. last weekend. Now, a number of scoopers on social media are all saying the same thing: David Corenswet may be our new Man of Tomorrow!
It sounds like the current plan is for an announcement to be made during next month's San Diego Comic-Con. If so, Warner Bros. will be the only major studio attending the annual event as Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures, and Universal are all giving it a miss.
That could give DC Studios the chance to steal the show, of course!
While not an unknown, Corenswet is an up-and-coming actor who is mostly unknown to moviegoers. However, he counts House of Cards, The Politician, Hollywood, We Own This City, and Pearl among his credits, and is a legitimate talent.
At 29, he's the right age for a younger, somewhat more earnest, Kal-El. Plus, as you can see from the photo below, Corenswet undoubtedly looks the part. For now, though, it would be wise to take these claims with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made.
"Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas," reads the movie's synopsis. "He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned."
Superman: Legacy is set to be released in theaters on July 11. 2025.
