Breaking: David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan land roles of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in SUPERMAN: LEGACY.

quote:

Gunn, according to sources, assembled three actors and three actresses for Superman and Lane, respectively, and on Saturday, the first day of the testing, the actors were seen in predetermined pairs: Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan; Tom Brittney and Phoebe Dynevor; and David Corenswet and Emma Mackey. They were given several scenes to film, in which the males were in makeup and wardrobe as Daily Planet reporter Kent while the females were plucky journalist Lane.

Then on Sunday, Hoult, Brittney and Corenswet did another series of screen tests, this time in costume as Superman. Interestingly, only Mackey was brought in that day to portray Lane opposite the actors.

Sources caution that just because Mackey segued into the second day does not mean she is the front-runner for Lane, although it may be hard not to have that interpretation.


quote:

Gunn had an assembled cut of the screen tests by Wednesday to show to Warners brass. A decision could come this week.

And once the decisions on Kent and Lane are made, Gunn will quickly pull the trigger on next wave. Sources say there is also a shortlist for villain Lex Luthor (siblings Alexander and Bill Skarsgard have been mention as being on it and it’s not clear whether Hoult, who was initially wanted for the part before deciding to try for Kent/Superman, would put himself in the running again.) There are also other heroes to cast, such as members of a supergroup named The Authority; part of the new storyline is Superman joining a world in which superheroes already exist.

Hoult is 6’2”

I was thinking he was shorter than that.

My wife thought he was too young to play Superman. I told her he was 33, a year older than Brosnahan, and that About a Boy was 21 years ago.

Those two would be perfect.

Agreed, but I think it's going to be Corenswet as Superman. Also, Bill Skarsgard as Lex would be an awesome choice.

Is Gunn actually goign to cast a white Superman and pair him with a white Lois Lane? That would take some balls in this day and age.

The wokesters aren't going to be happy about this.

That would be a terrible choice. He’s already played Superman.

WB is $50B in debt. They literally can't afford to virtue signal cast anymore. They have to have hits and Superman is their gold mine.

Superman has been overdone. They need something fresh.

I think that’s an interesting twist. At least it’s something relatively new.

Superheros exist and then a guy that is basically a god even among them shows up.
