Superman: Legacy It will not be the typical origin story that recounts every aspect of the life of the Iron Man, according to director James Gunn. Through his Bluesky account, Gunn answered a fan’s question about adapting the first pages of the comics of all star superman in legacywhich recount the upbringing of Superman.
However, considering there are so many “Last Man on Krypton” adaptations out there, Gunn is adamant that his next movie in the DC Cinematic Universe won’t follow that path and show the hero’s childhood in the heart of Kansas.
“I think we’ve seen enough of his origin in the movies at this point!” she said. Later, when a fan volunteered to play a younger Superman in legacyGunn simply replied that “there won’t be a young Clark” in the film.
In legacyDavid Corenswet, known for his roles in the Netflix series “The Politician” and in the HBO series “We Own This City“, will don the blue and red suit, succeeding Henry Cavill as Superman in it DCU rebuilt by Gunn. The first film on the new film list of the DCU Gunn’s film is gradually taking shape, with Gunn confirming that a soundtrack is in development while pre-production continues, saying they are “taking a unique path” in the process.
According to the official synopsis of legacy,
“Superman: Legacy tells the story of the journey of Superman to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent from Smallville, Kansas. He is the personification of truth, justice and the American way of life, guided by human kindness in a world that considers kindness old-fashioned.”
The film will show Superman from Corenswet paired with Lois Lane, played by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress Rachel Brosnahan. Additionally, Gunn is reportedly working on a short list of possible candidates to play renowned supervillain Lex Luthor, while the film could introduce The Authority.
legacy is one of five new movies announced by Gunn and the CEO of DC StudiosPeter Safran, last January, considering it the “true beginning of the DCU“. Framed in the Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, legacy is accompanied by films centered on Batman“The Brave and the Bold“, “The Authority“, “Supergirl: World of Tomorrow” and “Swamp Thing“.
Gunn revealed last May that legacy production will begin in January 2024. The writer-director submitted his first full draft of Superman days before the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike began on May 2, though he offered his support to the union by being willing to pause making the film, if necessary.
legacy opens in theaters on July 11, 2025.
