While David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have now been cast as Superman: Legacy's Clark Kent and Lois Lane, there's an awful lot we don't know about the upcoming reboot.
Filmmaker James Gunn is looking to cast Lex Luthor, though there's been some disappointment that the bald-headed villain will once again take centre stage in place of underutilized fan favourites like Brainiac and Metallo. Will The Authority take aim at the Man of Tomorrow, though?
We've previously heard that members of the group will be introduced in Superman: Legacy, with Hawksmoor, the Engineer, Eve, and the Doctor said to be among those the DC Studios co-CEO wants to cast.
The prevailing theory is that The Authority will be the reboot's primary antagonists, but Gunn has now gone some way in debunking those claims. Of course, these comments could also be interpreted as the team initially appearing as Stormwatch before receiving a new moniker down the line.
Whatever the case may be, it's a bold move on Gunn's part to add these obscure heroes to the mix, especially when fans are so desperate to see Kal-El go toe-to-toe with the more iconic members of his rogues' gallery.
DC Studios isn't expected to have a presence at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, so until we get additional casting news, we remain largely in the dark about what Gunn has planned for this movie. However, Lex Luthor is expected to be the next major role which is cast and the director has also debunked recent reports about Superman: Legacy being a "workplace origin story" (whatever that means).
"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.
