Although filming on James Gunn’s Superman wrapped back in July, Deadline has revealed another cast member for the DC Universe reboot with Alan Tudyk set to appear in a mystery role.
Tudyk already has one role in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe, portraying the character of Doctor Phosphorus in the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos. It’s possible he’s reprising that role for a live-action cameo, although he could also be taking a leaf of out his Creature Commandos co-star Sean Gunn’s book, with Gunn set to play the character of Maxwell Lord in Superman in addition to his voice roles in the animated series as Weasel and G.I. Robot.

Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
