As expected, the Superman: Legacy casting news has resumed following the resolution of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and we now know who will play two key supporting roles in James Gunn's DCU reboot.

On the heels of yesterday's announcement that Nicholas Hoult will play the villainous Lex Luthor, Deadline is reporting that Sara Sampaio, a Portuguese actress and model known for her Victoria’s Secret work, has landed the part of his assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher.

In addition, THR has confirmed a long-standing rumor that The Righteous Gemstones actor Skyler Gisondo will play Clark Kent and Lois Lane's friend and fellow The Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen.

They join David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, as well as Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Members of the anti-hero team The Authority will also appear, and we recently learned that María Gabriela de Faría (Animal Control) has been cast as Angela Spica/The Engineer.

We're still not sure exactly how these other superheroes will factor into the story, but Gunn has previously revealed that Superman's dual-life as both Clark Kent and the Man of Steel will be explored in the film, suggesting that these characters will be his "super friends." Whether they'll be part of an actual team or not remains to be seen.

“Superman: Legacy is the true foundation of our creative vision for the DC Universe. Not only is Superman an iconic part of DC lore, he is also a favorite character for comic book readers, viewers of earlier movies, and fans around the world," said Gunn during the DCU slate announcement. "I can’t wait to introduce our version of Superman who audiences will be able to follow and get to know across films, movies, animation and gaming.”

Specific plot details are still under wraps, but Brainiac is rumored to be the movie's primary antagonist. Gunn recently debunked another report which claimed that the story would revolve around some kind of conflict in the fictional Middle Eastern country of Bialya, which is where the Scarab in Blue Beetle originates from in the comics.

It was said that the Man of Steel would be blamed for a terrorist organization getting their hands on powerful Kryptonian tech, and The Authority would be sent in to investigate. Gunn simply stated that the terrorist threat aspect "isn't true," so there's always a chance some of the other details are accurate.

Production is scheduled to get underway early next year.

@Crtdacct2say - The site is dying so they have to dial back on the pixel budget wherever they can.
