Superman Legacy: We Know Who Will Play Lex Luthor



DC relaunched with Superman: Legacy

One year ago, James Gunn became (with Peter Safran) the head of DC Films. The director of The suicide squad will have to relaunch Warner Bros.’ superhero machine, not at its best after the failures (among others) of Black Adam AND The flash. The director will begin to set up his universe with a great project: Superman: Legacy.

Scheduled for 2025, the feature film will unfortunately be made without Henry Cavill, who until now had still been an excellent Clark Kent. To replace him, James Gunn opted for David Corenswet, an actor little known to the general public, but who we were able to see in Hollywood, We own this city AND The politician. And alongside her, playing Lois Lane, there will be the excellent Rachel Brosnahan (House of cards, The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel).

And Lex Luthor is…

Who says Superman, obviously says Lex Luthor, the great enemy of the comic book superhero and who has already been played on screen by Jesse Eisenberg, Kevin Spacey and Michael Rosenbaum. We were eagerly waiting to hear who would take on the role Superman: Legacyand the news arrived thanks to Expiration. The American media made it known Nicholas Houltwho was in the running to play the Man of Steel, was cast as the antagonist.

The actor knows the world of superheroes well since he has participated in it X-Men: First Class, and reprized the Fauve role in three more films. He was also supposed to be the main antagonist of Mission impossible 7 (2023), but ultimately had to withdraw due to filming being postponed. And he had failed the castings The Batman AND Top Gun 2. A series of failures that ends with Superman: Legacy.

Finally, the actor will not be the only important villain of the feature film since, a few days before this announcement, Expiration had already mentioned the name of Maria Gabriela de Faría. The actress seen in Deadly class, she was cast as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer. The latter should then return to The authorityAfter Superman: Legacy expected July 9, 2025 in France.
