The next Superman will be played by David Corenswet

Rising American star David Corenswet will be the next actor to put on the red Superman cape, the director of the next installment of the saga, James Gunn, confirmed on Tuesday. The 29-year-old American rose to prominence for his roles in several hit series, including Netflix's Hollywood and The Politician, HBO's We Own This City and Universal's Pearl.

David Corenswet will take on the mythical role of superhero this time in Superman: Legacy, produced by Warner Bros studios for 2025. The news was first reported by specialized Hollywood media, also revealing in passing that Rachel Brosnahan, the title role in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series, has been cast as Superman's love interest, journalist Lois Lane. "It's okay," director James Gunn confirmed on Twitter, re-sharing an article from The Hollywood Reporter.

Before him, actors Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh and more recently Henry Cavill have portrayed Superman on the big screen -- one of Hollywood's most prized roles.

Last year, Warner Bros. commissioned the duo of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn and Aquaman producer Peter Safran to relaunch the superhero films of the DC Comics franchise, with the aim of energize against the fierce competition from Marvel. With this in mind to breathe new life into the franchise, James Gunn ran from scratch, notably by landing David Corenswet's predecessor, Henry Cavill. Superman: Legacy is slated for theaters on July 11, 2025, with James Gunn planning to start filming in early 2024.
