Screen Tests For Superman and Lois Lane Are Going On Currently
With the recent release of DCEU’s The Flash, many more projects are on their way. This year will also finally bring the Aquaman sequel to the audience. In addition to that, the studio is ready to bring Superman to the center of the DCEU world. Directed by James Gunn, Superman: Legacy will explore the Kryptonian hero’s reconciliation with his “heritage and upbringing”. For a while talks about the casting for the upcoming film have been a huge interest among fans.
Although at one point, many thought Henry Cavill would reprise the role for the DCEU version, however, the actor cleared up that he would not return as his Man of Steel character. This naturally broke many fans’ hearts. However, following the release of DCE U’s The Flash, it came to light that currently there are three actors in the talks of raking up the role of Superman. They are Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet, and Tom Brittany.
All three are highly suitable for the character considering their past film projects. And although Hoult has been said to be the most likable to be cast, as of now nothing has been confirmed. Furthermore casting for Lois Lane is also being done with three contenders, namely, Emma Mackey, Phoebe Dynever, and Rachel Brosnahan.
