In mid-May, potential candidates competing for the roles of Superman and Lois Lane at the new DC studio were leaked by James Gunn and Peter Safran. A few weeks later, they reported from Deadline that casting tests had progressed until they had the following candidates with the option of becoming Clark Kent following Henry Cavill’s departure from the company: Nicholas Hoult, David Korenvat and Tom Britney will be the main artist the man in charge of Guardians of the Galaxy is considering for Superman: Legacy and, consequently, for the rest of DC’s feature films and series. As far as Lois Lane is concerned, the finalists would be Emma Mackey, Rachel Brosnahan, and Phoebe Dynevor.
It is currently unknown which of the above cast members has more ballots to remain as the starter for both Superman and Lois. Of course it’s a tough choice because, if you take a look at each of them (the one running as Superman you have at the top of the article and the actresses who could be Lois Lane at the bottom) the similarities between them They’re amazing and really draw on the characters from the original comics.

Half of them are true. So I don’t want to That people use me as a way to throw crap at the wall until something sticks. 3) I’m storyboarding Superman: The Legacy and don’t have time! Have a nice day!”
