The cast of Superman: Legacy is beginning to expand — Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, and Edi Gathegi will be joining James Gunn's upcoming blockbuster film as Vanity Fair has reported. Set to introduce a new version of the Man of Steel, Superman: Legacy will premiere in theaters on July 11, 2025, becoming the first movie set in the new version of the DC Universe.
Merced has been cast as Hawkgirl, the brave hero with feathered wings and a fearless attitude. A version of the character was set to appear in Black Adam, last year's blockbuster about a mythical anti-hero played by Dwayne Johnson.
On the other hand, Fillion will play Guy Gardner, a known member of the Green Lantern Corps in the comics. The actor has collaborated with Gunn through a big portion of his career, even appearing in this summer's Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3.
What Will Superman: Legacy Be About? As the first chapter of the new DC Universe timeline, Superman: Legacy will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent. The actor joined the project alongside Rachel Brosnahan, who will play the latest version of Lois Lane, the Daily Planet's star reporter and Superman's primary love interest.
