This week marks the production start of James Gunn‘s first big DCU installment with his “Superman” reboot. Cameras are rolling in Atlanta as the writer/director posted a teaser image of the new costume (See below) and a new addition to the cast has been revealed by The Hollywood Reporter. They’ve learned that “The Wire” and “Jack Ryan” actor Wendell Pierce has landed the role of Perry White, the boss of Lois Lane and Clark Kent at The Daily Planet.
The rest of the cast of Superman consists of David Corenswet (Clark Kent/Superman), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner/Green Lantern), and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer).
We’re still waiting on who Gunn has selected to play Ma and Pa Kent, the adoptive Earthbound parents of Clark. There is also a chance that the DCU’s new Supergirl actress Milly Alcock (“House of The Dragon”) might be teased or appear in the upcoming flick before her solo movie.
“Superman” is set to be released on July 11, 2025, in that same month we’ll be getting “Jurassic World 4” from Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One”) and Marvel’s highly-anticipated “Fantastic Four” reboot.
