The new DC universe has found its Lois Lane with Rachel Brosnahan’s official Superman: Legacy casting. The film was confirmed in January 2023 as the first entry in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC revamp, opening the Dcu’s first phase, “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.” With director Gunn wanting the film to star a younger Clark Kent, the recasting of Superman and Lois Lane was a hot topic for many leading up to the official announcement.

After months of rumors, Gunn confirmed on Twitter that Brosnahan had been cast as Lois Lane alongside David Corenswet as Superman. Brosnahan had previously been one of the rumored frontrunners for the role, with the actress even reacting to the Lois Lane rumor on The View in May 2023. Her casting brings plenty of promise to the new Dcu with Emmy-award-winning actress proving herself to be more than capable of carrying the female lead.

Stop the (Daily Planet’s) presses: James Gunn has found his Superman and Lois Lane. David Corenswet will play the lead of Clark Kent/Superman in Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy.” Rachel Brosnahan has been selected as Lois.

Corenswet broke out in the A24 horror hit “Pearl.” He’s also known for Netflix’s “Look Both Ways” and HBO miniseries “We Own This City.” Corenswet also wrote, directed, and starred in the web sketch-comedy series “Moe & Jerryweather.” He will next be seen opposite Natalie Portman in the upcoming Apple TV+ limited series “The Lady in the Lake.”

Brosnahan just ended her five-season run as the title star in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Brosnahan earned an Emmy Award and two Golden Globes for “Maisel.” She was nominated for an 2015 Emmy for “House of Cards.” Brosnahan recently starred opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Lionsgate’s “The Courier,” and alongside Christoph Waltz and Willem Dafoe...

DC Studios has knighted a new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan will play the coveted parts in James Gunn’s “Superman: Legacy.”

The latest on-screen iteration of the iconic comic book hero will largely be a workplace origin story, Gunn said when he and fellow DC steward Peter Safran laid out their narrative plans in January. Corenswet, who broke out in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Hollywood,” will play cub reporter Kent at the fictional newspaper The Daily Planet. Brosnahan will be his coworker and co-lead.

Gunn is directing the project from his own screenplay, based on the character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Safran will produce. The project is set for release on July 11, 2025.

“It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing,” Safran said earlier this year when he and Gunn unveiled a lengthy block of planned DC films and series.

David Corenswet has won the coveted role of Clark Kent and will be the new Man of Steel in DC Studios’ inaugural “Superman: Legacy,” the studio announced on Tuesday.

Rachel Brosnahan has also been cast as Lois Lane.

Corenswet replaces Henry Cavill, who had played the role since 2013’s “Man of Steel.”

“Superman: Legacy” tells the story of Superman’s (Corenswet) 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.
