Finally the Hollywood strikes are over. DC can now finally put their old demons behind them and start afresh. Hopefully James Gunn and Peter Safran can reform DC Studios and build a successful cinematic universe in a cinematic landscape that is becoming more and more superhero repellent. After an elaborate fan campaign, David Corenswet was finally cast in the role which many believe he was born to play – Man of Steel. Along with him, Rachel Brosnahan has been cast as his love interest Lois Lane. With James Gunn himself taking up writing duties and possibly directing the film, the DC movie is rumored to go on floors sometime in 2024. To be on track for production, Gunn has finally cast the first villain for Superman: Legacy.
Superman: Legacy – Maria Gabriela de Faria Has Been Cast!
Deadline among other media outlets have reported that Maria Gabriela de Faria has been cast in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy as the super-powered blockbuster Angela Spica (aka The Engineer), becoming the very first big bad from the new superhero universe to be announced. Faria’s previous credits include Fox’s Animal Control and The Moodys, but Superman marks the actress’ major motion picture debut.
The Engineer is most well known for her involvement in the supervillain team The Authority, a group that has its own DC film in the works at Warner Bros. David Corenswet appeared in Ti West’s Pearl and is in the upcoming sequel to Twister. The actor was in several fancasts, DC fans pleaded the studio to finalize the actor as Henry Cavill’s replacement. Along with him, Rachel Brosnahan has also been announced as Lois Lane. The casting also points towards how DC is trying to give the fans what they want.
Casting Corenswet is definitely a foot in the right direction. As for Brosnahan, an earlier report has already told us that James Gunn was blown away by her audition for Lois Lane, so her casting doesn’t surprise me.
Superman: Legacy is the first movie in the new DC slate and is supposed to release on 11th July 2025.
