Aside from a few blurry shots of Gabriela de Faría's Engineer, we've yet to see any noteworthy photos from the set of Superman. On the few occasions the movie has been shot in the open, the set has been surrounded by barricades to hide what's happening from fans and photographers.
In many ways, we can't complain about that because it maintains the element of surprise. Still, it's frustrating to not get any sneak peeks as those more often than not build excitement for movies like this one.
Regardless, some new snaps have surfaced today and while there are no cast members on hand, we do get to see the updated LuthorCorp logo. This looks like a makeshift military base, though it's unclear whether Lex Luthor has anything to do with what's happening here.

James Gunn is filling out the Daily Planet newsroom.
Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald have joined the cast of Gunn’s Superman, the inaugural movie of DC Studios.
The feature is currently in production in Atlanta with David Corenswet starring as Clark Kent/Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan playing Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane.
The duo will have company on the news desk. Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Saturday Night Live alum Beck Bennett had joined the production to play Steve Lombard, a blowhard and self-serving reporter who in the comics serves as a foil to boy scout reporter Kent.
Sources tell THR that Hoover is playing Cat Grant, who in the comics was a gossip columnist who had her eyes set on Kent. The character, created by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway, has appeared in several TV shows, most notably in CW’s Supergirl in which she was played by Calista Flockhart.

James Gunn’s Superman is still in the midst of production in Atlanta, and it’s been reported that Beck Bennett, best known for Saturday Night Live, has joined the cast as a “notable reporter” at the Daily Planet.
The initial reports didn’t specify exactly who Beck Bennett plays in Superman, but James Gunn confirmed on Instagram that he would play Steve Lombard, a brash and arrogant sports reporter who enjoys playing childish practical jokes on Clark Kent. A recently released photo of several Superman cast members included Bennett, who is seen with a mustache, which Lombard typically sports.

David Corenswet is our new Man of Steel, but before landing the leading role in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie, he had auditioned for the role of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, at least, that was the rumour.
Responding to a fan on Threads, Gunn confirmed that Corenset did indeed audition for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but admitted that he doesn’t actually recall it. “I asked him about it and he said he did so I believe him, but I don’t remember it,” Gunn said. The fan also asked if Superman’s flying scenes in the new movie might be similar to Adam Warlock’s flying scenes from Guardians 3. “No, what we’re doing now for flying is much more complex than what was done for [Adam Warlock],” Gunn responded.

People are lining up for selfies with one star on Superman set and it is not David Corenswet or James Gunn. The cast & crew of Superman are falling head over heels for Ira Corenswet. The canine companion of Corenswet first stole the heart and chair of Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane in the movie. María Gabriela de Faría, who plays The Engineer, has now shared that she was lucky enough to get a picture with Ira.

It seems that not a single Gunn’s announcement related to the upcoming ‘Superman’ reboot can go without controversy. A while back, when Milly Alcock was cast as Supergirl, the director was criticized for having an all-white main cast of the movie.
Now the most recent outrage is directed toward the cast being “D-List” in nature. Everything started with the announcement that Pruitt Taylor Vince will be cast as Jonathan Kent in the upcoming reboot with Neva Howell cast as Martha Kent, Superman’s adoptive human mother.
Even though both actors are established in their own right with medium-sized roles, none of them in the past has led blockbusters. Vince will star as a series regular in the upcoming Apple TV+ series ‘Lady in the Lake,’ alongside Natalie Portman, set to release this summer. His extensive television work includes appearances in popular series such as Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things,’ Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,...

It appears that every announcement about James Gunn’s upcoming ‘Superman’ reboot sparks controversy. Some time ago, when Milly Alcock was cast as Supergirl, the director faced criticism for assembling an all-white main cast (despite Supergirl not being a part of main cast…)
Now, the latest uproar revolves around the perceived “D-List” nature of the cast. It all began with the announcement of Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent and Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Superman’s adoptive human parents, in the upcoming reboot.
Although both actors have established themselves with medium-sized roles, neither has previously headlined blockbuster films. Vince is set to star as a series regular in the upcoming Apple TV+ series ‘Lady in the Lake,’ alongside Natalie Portman, scheduled for release this summer.

According to The Wrap, Pruitt Taylor-Vince has been cast as Jonathan Kent in James Gunn’s Superman. I can’t say that’s who I expected to play Clark Kent’s adoptive human father in the movie, but I’ve always been a big fan of the actor, who has appeared in everything from The X-Files to Deadwood to The Walking Dead.
Pruitt Taylor-Vince will join the long line of actors who have brought Jonathan Kent to life in movies and television, including Glenn Ford in the original Superman movie, John Schneider in Smallville, Kevin Costner in Man of Steel, and many more. As I mentioned above, Taylor-Vince might not feel like the obvious choice for the role, but he’s a true talent and I hope fans give him a chance.

When James Gunn announced that production had begun on Superman, he included a close-up of the new costume covered in snow, and now we know why. While speaking with Svalbardposten, Gunn revealed that the first scene he filmed for Superman was shot in Svalbard and featured Superman fleeing to the Fortress of Solitude.
“We have filmed the first scenes, which show Superman fleeing to the ice fortress,” Gunn said. “We wanted a place that was beautiful and felt like being in the middle of the Arctic, so we looked at several places in the world. But there were many things that sold Svalbard for us over the other places. First, there is the natural beauty. But there’s also the fact that you’ll find a varied landscape here that you won’t find anywhere else.

Great Caesar’s Ghost, Perry White has been found.
Wendell Pierce, perhaps best known for his work as a detective on HBO’s seminal crime series The Wire, has been cast as the iconic editor-in-chief of The Daily Planet in James Gunn’s Superman.

The character of Perry White is a Man of Steel fixture, first introduced in a Superman radio serial in 1940. He is the boss of both Kent and Lane, and depending on the incarnation, can be a tough-as-nails boss, the harried-by-his-reporters boss, or a father-figure boss.

James Gunn took to Instagram to celebrate the first day of principal photograph on Superman: Legacy, except, that’s not what the movie is called anymore. The new title of Superman: Legacy is now simply… Superman.
“Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on Superman today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn wrote. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy. By the time I locked the final draft, it was clear the title was Superman. Making our way to you July 2025.“

Ever since James Gunn and Peter Safran effectively took over DC Studios and set up shop with their grand vision for the superhero universe on the big screen, all eyes have been firmly fixed on the first official debut of the new franchise. Fittingly enough, that'll take shape with a brand-new movie centered on the Man of Steel himself in "Superman: Legacy." The fandom has been abuzz about the idea of returning to a more traditional version of Superman, one that will (presumably) end up a far cry from the darker and edgier approach taken by Zack Snyder.

Gunn took to Instagram on Thursday to post an image taken following the first table read for Warner Bros.’ upcoming superhero film that is set for theatrical release on July 11, 2025. The pic includes himself and Peter Safran, who were named co-chairs of DC Studios in 2022, in addition to castmembers including David Corenswet (the new Man of Steel), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) and Nicholas Hoult (sporting a shaved head to play Lex Luthor).
“After the table read with the #Superman cast,” Gunn captioned the post. “Eve, Mr. Terrific, Superman/Clark, Otis, Lex, producer Peter Safran, Jimmy, Metamorpho, Lois, Hawkgirl, me, Guy, The Engineer all together for the first time! What a wonderful day.”

Gunn took to Instagram on Thursday to post an image taken following the first table read for Warner Bros.’ upcoming superhero film that is set for theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

“After the table read with the #Superman cast,” Gunn captioned the post. “Eve, Mr. Terrific, Superman/Clark, Otis, Lex, producer Peter Safran, Jimmy, Metamorpho, Lois, Hawkgirl, me, Guy, The Engineer all together for the first time! What a wonderful day.”

James Gunn didn’t take long to decide on his new Supergirl as The Wrap reports that House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock is now in talks to take on the role.
It’s expected that Supergirl will make her debut in a future Dcu project, and while it’s been assumed that the project will be Superman: Legacy, it could easily be something else. Milly Alcock will then take on the leading role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. THR adds that the movie could start shooting as early as this fall, assuming Warner Bros. is able to sign a director soon.
Milly Alcock was first reported to be up for the role earlier this month alongside Emilia Jones (Locke & Key), and Meg Donnelly (The Winchesters). Just last week, it was revealed that the list had been narrowed down to Alcock and Donnelly. Hollywood works fast… sometimes. Gunn confirmed the news on Instagram,...

With the conclusion of the Dceu through the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dcu is now stepping into the spotlight. James Gunn’s upcoming movie, ‘Superman: Legacy,’ is poised to be a soft reboot, indicating a fresh direction for DC characters under his guidance. Gunn, known for keeping fans informed through social media updates, recently addressed questions about the film’s progress via Threads.
According to Gunn, the development of ‘Superman: Legacy’ is proceeding smoothly, with sets under construction, costumes finalized, and actors settling into their roles. When asked about the locked-in cast for the movie, Gunn provided a somewhat vague response, stating that it exceeds 90% but falls short of 100%. This implies that while a significant portion of the cast is confirmed, not every character has an assigned actor, inevitably sparking further speculation and rumors.
Gunn also clarified that the costumes will be completed before the shooting begins.

The end of the year is nigh! However, before the ball drops in Times Square and the New Year’s Baby puts Father Time out to pasture, James Gunn is teasing fans with what Nicholas Hoult could look like as Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. Gunn posted artwork created by davi_a86 to his Instagram account, depicting Hoult as the chrome-domed mastermind with a penchant for building mech suits infused with kryptonite.
A Hoult-inspired Lex Luthor projects a smarmy smile while holding a brightly glowing kryptonite fragment in the image. Drawn in the style of an old-school comic book cover, Hoult’s Luthor dons a purple blazer with a green undershirt. As his baby blues pierce your soul, his knowing smirk tells you Lex is up to no good. Gunn shared the artwork on his Instagram Stories, so unless you got a screenshot or highlighted it, it’s already gone poof!

It was reported last month that Nicholas Hoult would be playing Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy, but writer/director James Gunn didn’t initially comment on the casting as he has in the past.
James Gunn has finally broken his silence on Instagram, explaining that he hadn’t said anything until now because Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor deal wasn’t officially finalized until just a few days ago. Time to break out the razor.

Deadline reports that Sean Gunn will play Maxwell Lord in the new DC Universe. The evil businessman was previously played by Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 1984.
It’s not known if Sean Gunn will appear as Maxwell Lord in Superman: Legacy, which will be written and directed by James Gunn, but Deadline has heard that the character will merely be mentioned in the background, setting the stage for a future DC appearance. Maxwell Lord first appeared in Justice League #1 in 1987 and wasn’t originally a villain, but he later became an adversary to the Justice League and to Wonder Woman in particular. Although he initially had no abilities, he later gained the power to telepathically influence the minds of others.

Deadline has reported that María Gabriela de Faría has joined the cast of James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy as The Engineer.
María Gabriela de Faría will play Angela Spica, a member of The Authority with a liquid body due to the nanotechnology in her bloodstream. The character was created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch and was first introduced in The Authority #1 in 1999. The superhero group is set to be featured in their own movie in the first chapter of the Dcu, but there were rumblings this summer that they would first be introduced in Superman: Legacy.

In 1968, the increasingly distant Beatles dragged themselves into the studio to record the Paul McCartney song “Ob-la-Di, Ob-la-Da.” The band was growing tired of working together, and they didn’t exactly hide the fact that they disliked the song. In short, it was a miserable day in the studio, and tempers grew short. Engineer Geoff Emerick watched as McCartney and producer George Martin began shouting at each other. He was so disgusted with the fight that he quit.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is one of several Below Deck spin-offs, and like the original show, it follows crew members as they live and work aboard a luxurious boat on the high seas. Season 4 of the show once again gives an inside look at the running of the Parsifal III, and this season, they’re headed to the gorgeous Ionian Sea in the Mediterranean.
Some familiar faces will be making their return, as well as some new cast members.

This Post Contains spoilers for this week’s episode of The Mandalorian, “The Pirate.”
The Mandalorian is a show that likes to keep things simple whenever possible. And it’s hard to imagine a more fundamentally simple story than “heroes rescue community under siege by pirates.” It’s a framework the show has used very successfully in the past, going all the way back to Mando and Cara Dune’s initial team-up early in Season One. In many ways, “The Pirate” leans hard into this kind of straightforward, classical adventure structure.

It’s 10pm on Monday 11 February 1963, and as the Abbey Road clock ticks down the final minutes of an exhausting 12-hour session, John Lennon strips to the waist, doses up on Zubes throat lozenges and throws himself into one final death-or-glory charge into rock’n’roll history.
“The last song nearly killed me,” he’d say later, recalling that last-minute take of “Twist and Shout”, which The Beatles managed to squeeze into the closing seconds of the one-day recording session for their debut album Please Please Me. A second take was abandoned as Lennon’s voice gave out altogether after a full day of howling and harmonising, powering through on throat sweets, milk and the ferocious Hamburg spirit that had seen them through countless late-night rock’n’roll marathons at the Kaiserkeller. “My voice wasn’t the same for a long time after,” he said. “Every time I swallowed it was like sandpaper.

The entertainment industry might be run by grown-ups, but sometimes, kids are the best collaborators. Celebrated author Neil Gaiman took a cue from his young daughter, Holly when writing his deeply unsettling novella "Coraline," and if it weren't for Edward Berger's teenage daughter, we might not have the latest on-screen adaptation of "All Quiet on the Western Front." A young Kurt Russell shouldn't be left off the list, either. According to the actor, his feedback on an early cut of "Mary Poppins" led to Dick Van Dyke eventually dancing around with animated penguins.
In a 2016 conversation with GQ, Russell revealed that he actually had a close relationship with Walt Disney as a young teen. As such, Disney would ask for his thoughts on upcoming films (it probably didn't hurt that the actor fit squarely into the studio's target demographic). When Disney eventually asked about "Mary Poppins," Russell admitted that...
