Who’s Involved in This Film?

Countless creators and actors are attached to the project. Gunn will direct the film, director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and 2021’s The Suicide Squad. Corenswet himself is a fairly new talent, only rising to fame through the streaming series The Politician and Hollywood. However, his ability to rise to such a role quickly proves his talent. Other recently confirmed actors include Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorphol. With such a star-studded cast, this film holds a strong chance at success.

Superman Returns 

Superman will serve as the first entry in DC’s new DCU. Last year, the DC Extended Universe ended after a decade of underwhelming and poorly received films. Furthermore, the character of Superman has been heavily deconstructed in recent years, with darker copies such as Homelander from The Boys and Omni-Man from Invincible. However, Gunn confirmed that this new Superman takes influence from the All-Star Superman comics, a series that reconstructed the character of Superman after years of gritty realism. With Gunn’s signature style, this film itself may redeem DC after the failure of the DCEU and even overcome the MCU itself.
