SUPERMAN Casts Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa Kent

https://nerdist.com/article/superman-legacy-james-gunn-everything-we-know/

Soon, the world will meet a new Clark Kent in Superman. (Formerly titled Superman: Legacy). DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are rebooting the most famous superhero in the world as they transition the franchise from the DCEU to the DCU. Who will play the Man of Steel on the big screen this time around? What kind of story will we see him in? And who will bring it to life? We’re keeping track of all these answers and more. Here’s everything we know about Superman so far.

Title

The DCU’s first official movie (though not its first official release) is now titled simply Superman. Of course, the movie began its life as Superman: Legacy. It will kick off the film side of what James Gunn has called the franchise’s first chapter, “Gods and Monsters.” He has also called this movie “the true beginning” of the DCU.

Superman‘s Plot

While the film still has no official synopsis, Warner Bros. did provide a description of what we can expect from the story, which James Gunn says is not an origin tale.

Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

Gunn announced the film with art from the cover of All-Star Superman by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely. Whether or not that means the story is influenced, inspired by, or adapted from the 12-issue comic series in any way is unclear. What Gunn has said is the movie will focus on “an earlier part of Superman’s life,” where he is still old enough to already be working for the Daily Planet.

Superman‘s Cast

David Corenswet will play Superman, while Rachel Brosnahan will play Lois Lane.

In addition, four more actors have joined the cast of Superman. Isabela Merced will play Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi will play Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion will play Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan will play Metamorpho. María Gabriela de Faría will play the villain The Engineer in the movie. Also known as Angela Spica, the character has nanotechnology built into her body. Additionally, Sara Sampaio will play Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo will play Jimmy Olsen, and Wendell Pierce will play The Daily Planet boss Perry White. James Gunn has also confirmed that Nicholas Hoult will play Lex Luthor.

Pruitt Taylor Vince (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will play Jonathan Kent, a.k.a. Pa Kent.

Behind the Scenes 

James Gunn wrote the (definitely completed) script and is directing.

Superman‘s Release Date

Superman will soar into theaters faster than a speeding bullet on July 11, 2025.

Walt Disney Studios Presentation at CinemaCon

https://blackgirlnerds.com/walt-disney-studios-presentation-at-cinemacon/

The final studio presentation at CinemaCon ended with Walt Disney Pictures. The studio allowed press to take photos of talent inside of the auditorium which was not allowed by studios in the previous presentations — proving that Disney elects to set themselves apart from the rest.

Jed Harmsen, of Dolby started with opening remarks about the work and legacy of Dolby’s technology in the theatrical space.

Alan Bergman, Co-Chariman of Walt Disney Entertainment started the event stating that their slate will begin the presentation with 7 studios.

The theatrical slate is below:

Disney elected to share 75 minutes of content with the audience.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes from 20th Century Studios. Disney shared 13 minutes of footage.

Young Woman and the Sea is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Daisy Ridley in theaters May 31st. The trailer was just released today.

Inside Out 2 takes us deeper into the mind of Riley and comes out June 14th. Disney allowed 30 minutes of footage to be screened for the audience. We really get an opportunity to see a coming-of-age story develop with Riley’s journey in this sequel.

Kevin Feige went on to present his slate of films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This included Fantastic Four as well as Thunderbolts. Here’s a quick video of him discussing the films below:

Anthony Mackie came to the stage to talk about Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World. Mackie offered up a little behind-the-scenes insight before introducing a first look at the film, which hits theaters on February 14, 2025.

Directed by Julius Onah, produced by Feige and Nate Moore, and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Charles Newirth, and Mackie, Captain America: Brave New World also stars Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Shira Haas, with Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford.

Shawn Levy also made an appearance to talk about Deadpool & Wolverine and made some quick remarks:

20th Century Studios’ Alien: Romulus takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. 

Award-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins gave a riveting speech about his movie Mufasa: The Lion King, delivering a convincing argument to theater owners why this film should be screened in the theater.

Dwayne Johnson made a surprise appearance to campaign for the upcoming sequel to the animated film Moana 2 which included a live interpretive dance which he quickly participated in. He was also honored with the NATO Spirit of the Industry Award.

The first footage from 20th Century Studios’ The Amateur was then screened exclusively in the room. The film, an action-packed espionage thriller directed by James Hawes and starring Oscar-winner Rami Malek, Rachel Brosnahan, Caitriona Balfe, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, and Laurence Fishburne, opens in theaters nationwide on April 11, 2025.
