Three actors are reportedly trying out for the Superman costume in upcoming DC Comics films. Find out their names.
Is the next face of Superman already known? James Gunn, new boss of DC studios, is currently looking for the actor who will play Clark Kent in his next film, Superman : Legacy. And if many hope to see Henry Cavill in the role, this hypothesis has already been ruled out by Gunn. But according to information from the American media Deadline, there are other very serious candidates for the role.
According to a source close to the studios, three actors are in the shortlist and have passed face-to-face trials. Nicholas Hoult, 33-year-old British actor seen in the series Skins, The Great and in the movies Mad Max : Fury Road, The Menu et Tolkien is one of them. A choice that seems consistent on paper, since Jenifer Lawrence’s ex has already played the Beast in the latest series of X-Men films.
But Hoult isn’t the only one vying to play the most powerful man on the planet. Actors David Corenswet and Tom Brittney will also try out to play Clark Kent, according to Deadline. The first, an American comedian, has played in several series, including Hollywood et The Politician signed Ryan Murphy. The universe of superheroes would therefore be brand new for him, but he certainly has the physique to embody Clark Kent.
This is also the case of the British Tom Brittney, who distinguished himself in Grantchester since 2014, but also in Unreal from 2015 to 2018 and more recently in film USS Greyhound: The Battle of the Atlantic. It should also be noted that other actors, whose names have not been revealed, could pass trials to play Superman.
Three actresses vying to play Lois Lane
Deadline also tells us that three actresses will appear for the role of Lois Lane: Emma Mackey (Sex Education), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel) and Phoebe Dynevor (The Bridgerton Time.news). However, it will be necessary to wait before knowing if one of them has won the role. Superman : Legacy is due out July 9, 2025 in theaters.
