'Superman: Legacy' finds their Lois and Clark

James Gunn has found his Lois and Clark. The co-head of DC Studios confirmed reported rumors yesterday afternoon that David Corenswet (Netflix’s “The Politician” and “Hollywood”) and Rachel Brosnahan (Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) both landed the titular roles for his upcoming Cinematic Universe launcher “Superman: Legacy,” which is set to premiere in 2025.

Accurate! (They are not only both incredible actors, but also wonderful people). https://t.co/1FtwYIDeYj

The news follows after rumors of possible test screenings took place in Hollywood last weekend. Reactions were mixed after the castings were officially announced with some campaigning for Henry Cavill’s return to the role.

When I ask for #RestoreTheSnyderVerse or #SellSnyderVerseToNetflix. I'm not asking for Corenswet to be fired, or his movie cancelled. I'm only asking for MY Superman to be able to finish his story.
