There has been a ton of chatter surrounding the future of the DCU ever since James Gunn and Peter Safran stepped in as co-chairmen at the studio. Although the reboot of Superman will not hit theaters until 2025, the makers have already locked in a talented cast for the highly anticipated film. David Corenswet will lead the pack as Clark Kent/Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. 

The rest of the star-studded ensemble includes Skyler Gisondo, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, María Gabriela de Faría, Sara Sampaio, Milly Alcock, Sean Gunn, and Wendell Pierce, all confirmed to join the cast. As for which other beloved characters from the comics might get their moment in the spotlight, that is still uncertain.

Earlier this year, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, word got out that James Gunn had brought a new player on board for Superman: Legacy. Enter cinematographer Henry Braham, a seasoned professional who has lent his talents to a slew of DC and Marvel flicks in the past, including the second and third volumes of Guardians of the Galaxy. With such experience under his belt, it was understandable why Gunn enlisted him for the project. 

Apart from his superhero exploits, Braham has left his mark on diverse films like Nanny McPhee, The Golden Compass, and even Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. With him now part of the team and a solid cast lineup confirmed, fans can look forward to a cinematic treat upon the film's release in 2025. Yet, the speculation surrounding additional additions to this burgeoning Superman universe will undoubtedly linger until the release.
