In James Gunn’s highly anticipated film, “Superman: Legacy” David Corenswet is set to star as Superman. And Rachel Brosnahan has been tapped for the role of Lois Lane.
DC Studios made the exciting announcement today. Corenswet, known for his breakout role in Netflix’s “The Politician,” will take on the iconic role of Superman.
Acclaimed for portraying the title character in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Rachel Brosnahan brings Lois Lane to life on the big screen.
James Gunn, who played a significant role in shaping the new DC Universe, will be directing. And he confirmed the casting choices.
Gunn expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Accurate! They are not only both incredible actors but also wonderful people.”
Previously, Gunn had mentioned that Corenswet and Brosnahan were contenders for the roles alongside Nicholas Hoult, further building anticipation for the film’s casting choices.
