With James Gunn getting closer to casting Superman: Legacy's leads, it won't be too much longer before the DCU movie begins to take shape.
Cameras aren't set to start rolling until early next year (meaning we'll be waiting a while for set photos) but we'd imagine DC Studios won't quite be as leaky a ship as Warner Bros.' DCEU was. The plot of The Flash, for example, has been readily available online for a good year or more!
So, leaks may be off the table, but Gunn continues to keep fans updated on social media.
Asked by a fan who some of his favourite underrated Superman villains are, the filmmaker said he has "too many to count," but shared four who have clearly resonated with him as a fan. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean any of them will be featured in Superman: Legacy, though we can't help but wonder!
For those of you wondering who they are, Gunn shared photos of Parasite, Silver Banshee, Ultra-Humanite, and Lady Blaze, a relatively obscure bunch we're sure the DC Studios co-CEO could have fun with.
He'd later go on to share his love for Bizarro and Metallo but pointed out that neither of them are necessarily as underrated as the others he listed.
If recent casting news is to be believed, then Lex Luthor will be part of Superman: Legacy, though we're hoping he won't be the reboot's sole baddie.
"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.
