Can we talk about comic books like the works of Shakespeare? Shouldn’t we? These are the stories of everyone, no matter your background or economic status. Years from now when Superman is in the public domain he will no doubt be the subject of new stories, new plays, new books, new movies, outside what DC Comics and Warner Brothers permit today. No greater expectation permeates movie-going audiences than contemplating the next Superman movie, the next actors to take on the key roles of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and Lex Luthor. Where will the next movie factor into your love for these characters? How many people have played the Man of Steel anyway?
Superman stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan (The Courier) as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult (X-Men) as Lex Luthor, plus Edi Gathegi (For All Mankind), Anthony Carrigan (Gotham), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Isabela Merced (Alien: Romulus), Skyler Gisondo (Psych), Sara Sampaio (At Midnight), María Gabriela de Faría (The Moodys), Wendell Pierce (Jack Ryan), Alan Tudyk (Firefly), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Bird Box) and Neva Howell (Greedy People).
Get caught up on the trailers for this year’s latest from DC, Superman:
A new take on Krypto? Hawkgirl? Nicholas Hoult in another big genre role? This could be good. Maybe Superman will be the Shakespeare play of a century from now.
Look for Superman in theaters July 11, 2025.
