Superman: Legacy is close to landing its titular hero and famous love interest.
A new story states that the first in-person tests with DC co-heads Peter Safran and James Gunn will happen very soon, and a gaggle of actors previously reported to be in contention are seemingly still in the race.
Deadline reports that the second round of screen tests has narrowed the selections for Superman and Lois Lane. We see Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet, and Tom Brittney in the running for the Man of Steel. On the Lois Lane side of things, Emma Mackey, Rachel Brosnahan, and Phoebe Dynevor will all test for the role.
Per Deadline, “some of the test deals are still being negotiated, but these are the names highly expected to participate in the auditions.”
Concerning the castings of other roles, such as Lex Luthor and Jimmy Olsen, Deadline notes those roles will take shape after production lockdown their Lois & Clark.
The official synopsis states Superman: Legacy “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.”
DC Studios has not confirmed these screen tests.
Superman: Legacy is scheduled to open in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
