James Gunn has certainly been on a role with casting for Superman: Legacy. Aside from Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, the internet has been ablaze with how perfect the recent DC Universe castings have been. (Well, excluding Guy Gardner!) Every day, it becomes clearer that this film can’t come soon enough!
Superman’s DC Universe Future
Superman: Legacy is a much-anticipated project, given that Clark Kent has been an integral part of the DC Universe for over 80 years, with various iterations and adaptations across different media. The movie promises to explore the character’s origins and his struggles to balance his dual identities as Clark and Superman while fighting off villains and saving the world. The choice to focus on the early years of his career is a bold move that could potentially breathe new life into the character and appeal to a younger generation of fans.
James Gunn and Peter Safran told journalists that their vision for the DC Universe includes locked scripts, wiggle room and a unified storyline across film, television, animation and video game projects. The two explained that the DC Universe could bring back elements from previous DC regimes, meaning that their eight-to-year plan is not a full reboot.
