:0:0

James Gunn, who is set to direct Superman: Legacy for the new DC Universe, shares some exciting casting updates for the next Man of Steel. As Gunn is wrapping up his time with Marvel Studios, the filmmaker is fully going into his role as one of the DC Studios co-CEOs. Together with Peter Safran, the duo is crafting a new DC Universe that will be a properly interconnected franchise across film and TV. One of the big projects in the works is Superman: Legacy, which Gunn is both writing and directing.
While the DC Universe's Clark Kent has yet to be chosen, the casting search is underway for Superman: Legacy. At the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 premiere, Gunn spoke with Variety about where they are at with casting the DC icon. According to Gunn, they have some "really great choices," without revealing any specific names of who is in the running for Superman: Legacy.

It’s hard, but we’re looking, and we actually have some really great choices, which I’m excited about. It has to be somebody who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and compassion that Superman has. And it has to be somebody that you’d want to give you a hug. You know, all the Supermen have been good, so we just have to add to that story. It's not Chris Pratt! [laughs]
