Superman: This Cast Change Will Surprise Fans Waiting For Legacy, DC’s Next Movie

For his first adventure as the Man of Steel, David Korensvet will have a lot to do. While Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) and The Engineer (Maria Gabriela de Faria) are already in the holiday program, another villain is added to the list in the form of Maxwell Lord.

Wonder Woman in 1984 by Pedro Pascal, or seen in Smallville and Supergirl, this businessman with mental powers that allow him to control other people’s thoughts, this time will be played by Sean Gunn. James’ brother, the film’s director and the new architect of the DC Universe along with producer Peter Safran.

It’s not the first time the two have collaborated: in addition to providing features for Krgalin, Sean Gunn played Rocket Raccoon on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy before special effects and Bradley Cooper’s voice were delayed there. He did the same in The Suicide Squad, where he was Weasel, a humanoid weasel, and Calendar Man, whose crimes are based on holidays.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he will join the cast. Rebooting the DC Universe would only require Maxwell Lord to change his face. Which still didn’t stop this somewhat bitter performance from Zachary Levi, aka Shazam in two films released in 2019 and 2023, and which should not have a sequel.

While fully promoting Chicken Run 2, in which he takes over for Mel Gibson as the voice of Rock, the actor was asked about his possible desire to continue his adventures in DC by switching characters like Jason Momoa (who could switch from Aquaman to Lobo. Rumor has it) or Sean Gunn. The actor hit and sent at the same time.

“I guess you can play whoever you want when you’re the brother of the guy who runs DC.” Does the small bump mean that, contrary to what he’d hoped, Zachary Levy wasn’t invited to be a part of the future universe that will launch alongside Superman Legacy in July 2025? If so, his response should not help the case, quite the opposite.
