Superman is gearing up to face quite a few foes in his new DC Studios re-debut, and it seems like his latest villain could be a tough fight.
In a new report from Deadline, it has been revealed that James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy has cast María Gabriela De Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer.
Created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, this version of the character was first introduced in The Authority #1 in 1999. Comic book fans would know that she’s the second DC character to bear the name of The Engineer.
María Gabriela De Faría is best known for her roles in Deadly Class, Animal Control and The Moodys, but she will see Superman: Legacy as her biggest mainstream outing. She’ll face off with the fresh-faced David Corenswet as Superman and will be part of the villainous group The Authority.
