Summary
The Superman: Legacy cast is imagined in retro comic book style in a stunning fan art series.
Superman:Legacy not only features the renowned Man of Steel, but also boasts an ensemble of popular DC heroes. The inclusion of David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane in the confirmed cast has sparked tremendous anticipation for the film and the trajectory of the DC Universe.
The Superman: Legacy cast is featured in an exciting fan art series that envisions them in comic book style, portraying their DC Universe characters. Leading the cast of Superman: Legacy is David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Unfortunately, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, more cast members for Superman: Legacy, directed and written by James Gunn, cannot be revealed yet. However, other DC heroes have already been announced for the film. On Twitter, artist @davi_a86 shared a collection of fan posters that depict the cast of Gunn's Superman: Legacy in retro comics cover art.
Corenswet's depiction of Superman in his signature style is still anticipated, but Brosnahan's portrayal of Lois Lane can be fully appreciated in all its comic book splendor. The Superman: Legacy fan art also showcases Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner with the iconic bowl cut of the Green Lantern.
Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho also appear with classic comic book designs.
Why Superman: Legacy's Current Confirmed Cast Is So Exciting
Recently, Gunn unveiled an update regarding the casting for Superman: Legacy. When a fan inquired about any forthcoming casting announcements once the SAG-AFTRA strike concludes, Gunn responded affirmatively, stating, "Yeah." Notably, there are still pending casting decisions for certain characters in Superman: Legacy, specifically for Superman's loyal confidant and greatest adversary, Jimmy Olsen and Lex Luthor, respectively.
While more movie names are expected to be announced soon, the current confirmed cast of Superman: Legacy is already generating a lot of excitement for both the film and the future of the new DC Universe. Gunn has previously expressed his desire for Superman: Legacy to establish a lived-in universe right from the start, which is why Corenswet's portrayal of Superman will involve interactions with other DCU heroes.
Although there are other DCU heroes involved, Corenswet is the ideal choice to portray the iconic "Boy Scout" version of Superman from the comics. Fans have been hoping for Corenswet to take on this role for the past two years, as the actor himself has expressed his dream of portraying a more lighthearted version of Superman compared to Henry Cavill's portrayal in the DCEU. Combined with the dynamic and talented Brosnahan, who perfectly embodies the spirited Lois Lane, Superman: Legacy has the potential to become one of DC's greatest films to date.
