About Superman Legacy

As reported earlier, Superman Legacy will focus on the ‘workplace origin story’ of Clark Kent, who identifies his superpower while working as a journalist with Daily Planet. According to director James Gunn, his Superman origin story will solely focus on Kent’s life from his mid-20s. The filmmaker and his team are planning to skip the childhood and his Kryptonian backstory in the film, unlike the 2013-released Superman origin story Man of Steel, which featured Henry Cavill in the lead role.

The updates also suggest that James Gunn’s film will follow the pattern of The Batman, the 2022-released DCU film which skipped the backstory of its leading man and focused solely on his life after gaining superpowers. Rachel Brosnahan’s character Lois Lane will not serve as just the lady love of Superman but will play a co-lead in the film. However, the makers are yet to finalize the actor to play the lead antagonist General Zod in the film.
