David Corenswet is James Gunn’s Clark Kent / Superman in Superman: Legacy, the first movie in his reboot of the DC Universe.
Rachel Brosnahan is cast as Lois Lane.
Superman Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
I’m honored to be a part of the legacy. And what better day than [Superman Anniversary Day] to dive fully into early pre-production on [Superman: Legacy]? Costumes, production design, and more now up and running, — James Gunn on Twitter & Instagram.
David Corenswet was in Vancouver last January/February shooting the FX pilot The Answers about a rich actor seeking a team of girlfriends to satisfy his needs.
