While early production has begun on another Superman reboot from James Gunn, the filmmaker hasn’t gotten to the casting process just yet. Just recently, Gunn and fellow DC Studios head Peter Safran unveiled a slew of titles that they have in production for their plans with the DCU. One of the most notable projects is Superman: Legacy, which will introduce a younger actor to take on the role. It was also announced that the movie will be released in 2025.
A new Superman film has fans doing some fantasy casting online. There are also various rumors floating around about different actors who are said to be in contention for the role. One such rumor, posted by an account called @DCULeaks, claimed that a casting call had been put out by DC Studios for Superman: Legacy, and it was noted that Luke Eisner (Tall Girl) is the “lead contender” for the part. But Gunn himself has thrown a flag by responding directly to that claim to debunk the rumor, insisting that no one is up for the role as casting hasn’t even started yet.
