Superman Legacy:- Every Character So Far

James Gunn's Superman is set to reboot the iconic hero with a fresh cast and a universe full of familiar (and a few surprising) faces. 

Here's a complete breakdown of every major character confirmed so far—and who's playing them.

Superman — David Corenswet

This iteration of Superman is early in his career but already a known figure in Metropolis. Gunn describes him as “kindness in a world that thinks kindness is old-fashioned.” Corenswet brings a new earnestness to the role as Clark Kent navigates his dual identity.

Lois Lane — Rachel Brosnahan

A star investigative reporter at the Daily Planet, Lois Lane is more than just Superman's love interest. In this version, she’s already been dating Clark for about a year and knows his secret identity.

Krypto

Inspired by James Gunn’s real-life dog, Ozu, Krypto is Superman’s loyal companion from Krypton. Like his owner, he possesses powers such as flight, heat vision, and super strength.

Superman Robot #4 — Voiced by Alan Tudyk

One of many robotic assistants living in the Fortress of Solitude, Robot #4 is voiced by Alan Tudyk and represents Superman’s futuristic sidekick tech.

Lex Luthor — Nicholas Hoult

This Lex is described as “truly evil,” driven by scientific ambition and corporate power. As CEO of LuthorCorp, he’s already a major force in Metropolis.

Eve Teschmacher — Sara Sampaio

Lex’s assistant and girlfriend, Teschmacher was originally a comedic sidekick in the 1978 Superman film. This version hints at a more complex role alongside Luthor.

The Engineer — María Gabriela de Faría

An ally of Luthor, The Engineer can generate weapons and clones using nanotech embedded in her body. Her comic book origins lie with the super-team The Authority.

Jimmy Olsen — Skyler Gisondo

Jimmy returns to his classic roots as a young, enthusiastic photographer and close friend to both Clark and Lois. This version aims to be a faithful adaptation of the comic book favorite.

Perry White — Wendell Pierce

As the Daily Planet’s no-nonsense editor-in-chief, Perry White anchors the newsroom with authority and journalistic integrity.

Steve Lombard — Beck Bennett

A sports reporter at the Daily Planet, Lombard brings comic relief and classic newsroom rivalry to the mix.

Cat Grant — Mikaela Hoover

The Daily Planet’s celebrity and gossip columnist, Grant is expected to bring flair and media-savvy commentary on Superman’s public life.

Metamorpho — Anthony Carrigan

Metamorpho can morph his body into any element. In the film, he’s currently imprisoned after being forced to use Kryptonite against Superman. He also has a son, Baby Joey.

Mr. Terrific — Edi Gathegi

A tech genius and billionaire inventor, Mr. Terrific is part of the Justice Gang and pilots a high-tech vehicle called the T-Craft. His intelligence and gadgets make him a key player.

Hawkgirl — Isabela Merced

As the reincarnated warrior Kendra Saunders, Hawkgirl brings ancient power and mysticism. She also fights alongside Mr. Terrific in the Justice Gang.

Guy Gardner — Nathan Fillion

An experienced (and notoriously arrogant) Green Lantern, Gardner unofficially named the Justice Gang and brings cosmic might—and a big personality—to the team.

The Hammer of Boravia — Actor Unknown

This armored villain is tied to political unrest in the fictional nation of Boravia, where Superman supposedly intervened. Toy leaks suggest a major twist: under the armor may be none other than Ultraman.

Ultraman — Actor Unknown

In the comics, Ultraman is an evil version of Superman from Earth-3. In the film, he's working with Lex Luthor and is even seen arresting Superman, hinting at a major multiverse twist.

Superman promises to be more than a solo origin story—it’s shaping up to be a sprawling ensemble of heroes, villains, and world-building. With its mix of classic characters and bold reimaginings, this film could set the tone for the DC Universe’s future.
