Warner Bros. and DC Films announced today that David Corenswet has won the role of Superman for the upcoming Superman: Legacy film. Rachel Brosnahan has also been cast as Lois Lane.
Corenswet replaces Henry Cavill, who played the character for the past decade since Man Of Steel.
Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Corenswet comes off the heels of his performance in Netflix’s The Politician. He’s also starred in Pearl, Look Both Ways, and We Own This City.
