Superman Legacy has just resurfaced, and obviously, we have several leads on the actress who will play Supergirl. It remains to be seen how the community will react.
If you’re asked to name a Superman movie, most of you will probably mention the ones starring Henry Cavill. They are part of the DC Extended Universe (or DCEU), but they are not necessarily unanimous. Besides, in this list, there is only one that is really dedicated to the Kryptonian, and that is Man of Steel. Now, the superhero is starting afresh with Legacy. This time, no extended universe, but a brand new feature film with a new cast. Besides, we perhaps know the actress who will play Supergirl.
Who will play Supergirl in Superman Legacy?
The cast of Superman Legacy is being revealed slowly, but surely. At least, when it is not the victim of leaks. We already know who will wear the S, and it’s David Corenswet. Yes, it won’t be Henry Cavill, and there’s no need to point out that it didn’t only make people happy. In addition, we will also find Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern) and Edi Gathegi (Mr Terrific). But who will wear the Supergirl costume? It’s a big mystery that’s about to be solved. In any case, there are several possible candidates.
From what we are told, three actresses auditioned for the role of Superman’s cousin. In itself, that does not mean that they will be retained. On the other hand, if one of them is kept, it is information that is always interesting to communicate. In order, we have Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon), Emilia Jones (Locke and Key) and (American Housewife). As usual, the community is divided on the subject, but again, it could very well be someone else. In any case, the public’s curiosity has just been piqued, all that remains is to wait for validation.
What we know for sure is the person who will lend his features to Lex Luthor, Superman’s sworn enemy. James Gunn confirmed it in person, it will be Nicholas Hoult. “Yes, I can finally say that Nicholas Hoult will be Lex Luthor in Superman Legacy and I couldn’t be happier”, the director told us on Instagram. Well, it wasn’t a big surprise because of the leaks, but it’s still excellent news. However, Gunn still said the decision “was only definitive a few days ago” (at the time of confirmation last December). When in doubt, it was wise to take a pinch of salt.
