Superman Legacy: New Clark Kent and Lois Lane Found

is it a bird is it a plane No, it’s the new Superman! And his name is David Korenswet. Days before his 30th birthday, the actor seen in Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood and Politician beat out Nicholas Hoult and Tom Britney, his main rivals for the role of the Man of Steel.

After months of auditions and tests in the suit of S, David Korenswet was chosen to replace Henry Cavill, Brandon Routh and Christopher Reeves on the big screen. And his partner was found too, with a little surprise.

Although the latest rumors talked about Emma Mack as the only finalist for the role of Lois Lane, it is finally Rachel Brosnahan who will play the famous journalist from the Daily Planet in James Gunn’s film, which is expected at home on July 9, 2025.

House of Cards revealed the actress was primarily The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel’s headliner, which ran for five seasons and earned her several awards, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series. And she joins Amy Adams, Kate Bosworth and Margot Kidder in the role.

Will David Korenswet and Rachel Brosnahan be in style (and costume?) at San Diego Comic-Con next month? The convention would certainly be the perfect theater for an announcement of this magnitude, but Warner’s presence has yet to be confirmed.

“I like very serious superhero movies and also very comical ones. I like the ones where it’s about solving a murder, but with superheroes. I like seeing different stories instead of seeing the same story told over and over again.” In what register will his Superman: Legacy , which he announced as more optimistic than Man of Steel , be placed?
