The Superman Legacy film has finally given its news, and this time, it’s to make a big announcement that will reassure fans. James Gunn is going to get down to business.
The wait around Superman Legacy is intensifying. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a feature film entirely dedicated to the Kryptonian. Unfortunately, the development of the project failed to follow a normal course, and it had to be stopped. Since then, fans have been waiting and hoping to hear from him soon. Well, let them be reassured, since we have had some, and they are really good.
Superman Legacy is unfettered
This information has surely not escaped you, but the screenwriters’ strike in Hollywood ended on September 27. Consequently, many films whose production was frozen were able to resume construction. Superman Legacy is obviously concerned, and its filming should therefore begin in March 2024. This should be qualified, since there are still actors who are potentially mobilized. That being said, it remains excellent news, and for the moment, there has been no postponement of the feature film. For the record, its release is still scheduled for June 2025.
Besides, this is not the only DC Comics film that will be able to benefit from the end of the strike. Batman: The Brave and The Bold is one of them, even if we are not ready to see it in the spotlight. Indeed, its production is not very advanced, and its director, Andy Muschietti, is working on another project. Suffice it to say, he won’t show up any time soon. The proof is that we do not yet have an exit window to consider. Many spectators estimate that it will arrive, at least, in 2026.
A casting without Henry Cavill
It is James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy 3) who is responsible for putting Superman Legacy together. And it wasn’t an easy task to convince him. “It’s been a long road to get here. I was offered Superman years ago, but initially turned it down because I didn’t know how to give Superman the dignity he deserved in a way that was unique, fun, and emotional. And then, a little less than a year ago, I found a way by focusing on Superman Legacy.”.
At the moment, we don’t know exactly who will be part of the cast. However, one thing is certain: Henry Cavill will not don the superhero costume again. He was replaced by actor David Corenswet. On the fans’ side, the incomprehension is total, because the director confirmed that this choice was not made in a desire to show a young version of Superman. In particular, we could read: “So he (editor’s note: James Gunn) got rid of Henry because he was “too old”, even though he looks rather young for his age, and he could have easily played a Superman in his thirties. ‘years “. Obviously, it doesn’t appeal to the masses, but that’s how it is, times change, even superheroes…
