Perry White actor Wendell Pierce recently appeared on night time talk show “Late Night with Seth Meyers” where he discussed his upcoming role as our favorite Editor-in-chief.
“The great James Gunn is directing [‘Superman’],” Pierce said during his segment. “You may know more about it than I do. But I’m looking forward to this…I’m excited about this.”
Pierce stated that he never grew up reading comic books so he relied on his friends to tell him about the role of Perry White.
Pierce was cast as the iconic Daily Planet leader last month rounding out a team of characters we haven’t seen since 2006’s “Superman Returns.”
“Superman” stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan playing star studded Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, and Skyler Gisondo as photographer Jimmy Olsen.
The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as classic antagonist Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner and María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.
“Superman” is scheduled to be released July 11, 2025.
