In addition to them, the Superman: Legacy artwork also features Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, as well as Xolo Maridueña’s Blue Beetle. Even though Jaime Reyes will not appear in Superman: Legacy, Gunn has confirmed he is the first DC Universe character, thus making Blue Beetle tied to the franchise. The only DC Universe character not featured in the Superman: Legacy fan poster is Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.
What Other Roles Are Reportedly Being Cast For Superman: Legacy?
While the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes are ongoing, Superman: Legacy casting announcements have hit pause for now, but that doesn’t mean Gunn isn’t adding more characters. According to the filmmaker himself, Jimmy Olsen will be part of the story, as the iconic Daily Planet photographer will be featured alongside Lois and Clark. It has also been suggested that Perry White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, will also be cast, although no actors have been rumored for the role so far.
During the casting process of Superman and Lois, it was being reported that Lex Luthor was in the mix, from Nicholas Hoult to Alexander and Bill Skarsgård getting eyed for the role. While they have their own movie coming up, Superman: Legacy is also said to be casting members of The Authority. However, it is unclear how many Authority characters are to be cast if these rumours are true, and if they are meant to have a big role or not.
Based on all of the casting choices so far, Superman: Legacy is already shaping up to be a very different Superman movie, as it sets the foundation for the DC Universe. It also makes things interesting for other DC Universe movies when they eventually start casting, as it’s clear intentions are to provide many comic figures who have never appeared on the big screen before. For now, the world will have to wait patiently to see who else will be starring in Superman: Legacy.
