Casting for "Superman: Legacy" in progress: Director Gunnar Soltz says all the auditioners are great

James Gunn, head of the DC Superhero Cinematic Universe, is very satisfied with the auditions for his new Superman film, Superman: Legacy. On the social networking site Bluesky, he said: "The auditions for Superman: Legacy over the weekend were really great. I was shocked by the performance of some of the actors. They are some of the best actors I have ever seen or worked with."

According to Hollywood Reporter, the main male and female protagonists, Clark Kent and Lois Lane, are currently being auditioned. Nicholas Hoult (Menu, Rainfield), David Corensway (Pearl) and Tom Brittney (Invasion, Preacher) are auditioning for the role of Clark, while Emma Mackey (Barbie), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) are auditioning for the role of Lois.

The movie is scheduled to be released in 2025. Before that, the DC movie universe will have two more movies, "Blue Beetle" and "Aquaman 2".

Another recent DC film to hit theaters, The Flash was a huge disappointment at the box office.
