Superman
Summary
James Gunn sets the book straight on whether Kurt Russell is in reality join theDC UniverseinSuperman : Legacy . One of the most extremely anticipatedupcoming DC Universe moviesthat is getting ready to begin filming in a few months isSuperman : Legacy , which will put the introduction for DC Studios ' new superhero continuity . asterisk David Corenswet as the nominal paladin , Superman : Legacywill focal point on a young Clark Kent too soon in his calling as the DC image .
While theSuperman : Legacycastis getting rounded out , there have been rumor about Russell playing Superman ’s father , Jor - El , in the DC Universe reboot . However , as he has done in the past , Gunn took to societal medium to clear up some of the latest rumors .
When asked by TheDCOverlord on Threads if the IMDb list of Russell inSuperman : Legacywas true , Gunnstated that while he"love working with and direct Kurt,“it was never discussed . Gunn did accentuate that Russell is a"hilarious and fun and gifted guy,“as they work together onGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 .
In a second response to the rumor , when DCVerso asked , Gunnadded,“although the mores of Krypton are certainly different than ours,“he was"not sure I see him as the first - meter sire of a newborn!“This comes very shortly after Russell was asked recently about the Jor - El rumour himself , put forward he would be open to the possible action of beingcast inSuperman : Legacy .
David Corenswet has officially been cast as Clark Kent in the DCU ’s Superman : Legacy , leading many to wonder about his life history up to this point .
Will Superman’s Father Appear In Superman: Legacy?
While there are several Superman and DC characters already lined up forSuperman : Legacy , nothing has been stated yet about whether Jor - El will actually be part of the story . Since Gunn has already state that it wo n’t be an origin story , it would n’t be shocking if they skip showing flashback to the day when Krypton was ruin . IfSuperman : Legacyis taking blank space in the present with Clark already being the Man of Steel , it would probably mean he has already gone through his Kryptonian geographic expedition with Jor - El and the Fortress of Solitude .
Man of Steelis , to this point , the oneSupermanmovie to have feature Jor - El the most , both through flashbacks on Krypton and as a holographical projection in the Fortress of Solitude . It would n’t be scandalous if Jor - El has a smattering of scenes , just to establish where he and Clark are at in their relationship . But things could still convert between now and the scratch of shoot forSuperman : Legacyin 2024 .
Time will also tell if reference like Martha and Jonathan Kent will be cast forSuperman : Legacyand whether Gunn will tackle them otherwise from pastSupermanTV shows and movies . As 2023 gets closer to its end , there could always be another promulgation or two before the holidays start . Hopefully , the fullSuperman : Legacycast will be locked and set sooner rather than later as production gets ready to recoil off in March 2024 .
