James Gunn has a very challenging task: to breathe new life into the DC Comics<\/a> universe in movies and series<\/strong>. He will leave behind the recent failures the studio has faced since Zack Snyder created his own universe, which culminated in Batman V Superman and Justice League.<\/p>\n\n\n

To leave behind this tragic past and create something exciting once again, Gunn has already announced a whopping ten projects, and he will be directing the first one of them: Superman Legacy<\/a><\/strong>. The film, which will tell a new Superman story, has already confirmed its first actors<\/a>: Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and David Corenswet as Superman\/Clark Kent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Gunn has announced the addition of three more actors to the cast<\/strong>. What’s interesting is that they won’t be portraying the usual Superman characters but other superheroes who will be part of the movie. That’s right: the DC universe will kick off with superheroes existing in that world, and we will witness it in Superman Legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which superheroes will appear in Superman Legacy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The actors who have been confirmed for the film are Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, and Edi Gathegi. Fillion is well-known to many for his roles in Castle, Firefly, and numerous movies<\/strong>. In the DC universe, he will portray Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern<\/a><\/strong>, thus establishing that these characters exist within this universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for Isabela Merced, the actress from Transformers: The Last Knight, she will be portraying Hawkgirl. In Black Adam, we already saw Hawkman <\/strong>(whose return is yet to be confirmed), and Hawkgirl is the female counterpart who has had significant prominence in DC Comics, sometimes even surpassing Hawkman in importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Edi Gathegi, known for X-Men: First Class and Caged, will portray Mr. Terrific<\/strong>, a superhero frequently seen in the comics but rarely explored in-depth. Undoubtedly, Gunn’s touch is already noticeable in the casting choices for the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
