James Gunn Ropes in 3 Marvel Stars of Past and Future to His Dreamy Superman Project for DC, ‘Superman: Legacy&#8217;

After replacing Henry Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as Man
of Steel in the forthcoming Superman project, James Gunn has now joined hands
with some Marvel actors. The upcoming film Superman: Legacy will mark the
beginning of the new DC Universe. While one after the other details are being
revealed about the new DC boss’ dream project, this news about having the Marvel
actors on the team has pumped the fans up.

David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane are already
making it hard for the DC fans to wait for the film. Now, the latest extension
of the cast is also exciting. Apparently, the 56-year-old director told Vanity
Fair [https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/07/superman-legacy-cast/amp] he
booked three Marvel actors for his Superman: Legacy. Do you remember the film
X-Men: First Class? There was a character named Darwin portrayed by Edi Gathegi.
Well, Gathegi is now going to be a part of Gunn’s dream project. Moreover,
Isabela Merced, who is going to appear in Marvel’s film, Madame Web, has also
joined the DCU.

The third actor is none other than Nathan Fillion, who is famous for his role as
Master Karja in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Now, these Marvel stars are
going to appear in the DC project with new and powerful identities. So, what
will be their roles in Gunn’s next project?

WHAT IS JAMES GUNN PLANNING FOR THE MARVEL HEROES IN SUPERMAN: LEGACY?

After Corenswet’s vision for the movie about the Kryptonian,

fans are hoping to see a more optimistic view of the DC hero. Therefore, people
have high hopes from the Scooby Doo writer with this one. As Gunn has revealed
earlier, he has finished writing the script, and the movie is moving forward
with production, officially. While many things are still under wraps, the roles
of these new casts are not.

Edi Gathegi is going to portray Mister Terrific, a.k.a. Michael Holt. His
superpower is his uncanny intellect. The catchphrase of an earlier version of
the Mister Terrific character is paid homage to on the sleeve of his jacket with
the phrase “Fair Play”, while also serving as a statement of his belief. Isabela
Merced will be the winged warrior Hawkgirl. And Fillion? The 52-year-old actor
is going to play a Green Lantern named Guy Gardner.

His Green Lantern is not the same as Ryan Reynolds’
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/]. In fact, he differs from Hal
Jordan in many ways. Nevertheless, the addition of these characters in Superman:
Legacy has added more to fans’ curiosity and excitement. Releasing in 2025, are
you also excited about the new cast in Superman: Legacy? Tell us in the comments
