SUPERMAN (2025)

The iconic Man of Steel is played by David Corenswet. He portrays both Kyryptonian hero Superman and his secret identity, Clark Kent—a mild-mannered reporter from Smallville trying to make it big at the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Leading Superman (2025) is his major breakout role—but you might know him from The Politician, Hollywood, or Pearl.

Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor—billionaire genius, Superman’s greatest rival, and bald icon of villainy.

You've seen him in comedies, like his portrayal of Peter III in The Great or R in Warm Bodies, or in other superhero movies as Hank McCoy/Beast in X-Men, and even in the recent retelling of Nosferatu.

Rachel Brosnahan is Lois Lane—investigative journalist, Daily Planet superstar, and Superman’s anchor to humanity.

You've seen her in some of your fave TV shows, like her Emmy winning role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as Midge Maisel, or in House of Cards as Rachel Posner.

Skyler Gisondo is Jimmy Olsen—photographer, Superman's pal, and the heart of the newsroom. Quirky, loyal, and a little awkward.

You've seen him in HBO's The Righteous Gemstones, Booksmart, Santa Clarita Diet, Licorice Pizza, and more.

Maria Gabriela de Faria is The Engineer—a cybernetically enhanced antihero from The Authority. Think Iron Man meets nanotech anarchist.

She may look familiar if you've seen Deadly Class, Yo Soy Franky, or Crossing Point.

Edi Gathegi is Mister Terrific—a tech genius, Olympic-level athlete, and superhero with gadgets smarter than most villains.

You've seen him in everything from Twilight: New Moon and X-Men: First Class to StartUp and For All Mankind.

Isabela Merced is Hawkgirl—winged warrior, reincarnated soul, and wielder of a giant mace.

You probably think she looks familiar from her recent role of Dina in HBO's The Last of Us season two.

Nathan Fillion is Guy Gardner—the brash, loud, and totally unfiltered green-ring-wearing Lantern you love to roast, especially for the bowl cut.

You know this familiar face from Firefly, Castle, The Rookie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and so much more.

Frank Grillo is Rick Flag Sr.—veteran soldier and father to Suicide Squad's Rick Flag Jr. and a gritty warrior with deep DC ties.

He's been in familiar media like The Purge series, Captain America: The Winter Solider, and Boss Level.

Anthony Carrigan is Metamorpho—adventurer-turned-elemental shapeshifter. He's made of rock, gas, and chaos.

You love him in Barry and as Victor Zsasz in Gotham.

Mikaela Hoover is Cat Grant—gossip columnist, media mogul, and queen of tea at the Daily Planet.

She's been in other superhero flicks like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, and was just announced to be the voice of Tony Tony Chopper in Netflix’s One Piece: Season 2.

Wendell Pierce is Perry White—editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet and the journalistic backbone of Metropolis. Tough, no-nonsense, and famously allergic to absurd headlines.

You've seen him in Suits, The Wire (as Detective Bunk Moreland), Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, and Broadway’s Death of a Salesman revival (as Willy Loman).

The original, the blueprint—Reeve portrayed Superman with grace, charm, and humanity, defining the role for a generation. His portrayal of Superman remains the gold standard, and his real-life work as a disability advocate post-accident made him a hero off-screen too.

A spiritual successor to Christopher Reeve's Superman, Routh’s was a soft reboot steeped in nostalgia and heart. He took up the mantle for Superman Returns in 2006.

You may also know him from when he joined back into the DC universe for Legends of Tomorrow (as Ray Palmer/The Atom), or his iconic role of Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Taking up the mantle from 2013-2022, he was the DCEU's Superman—brooding, powerful, and deeply conflicted. It was a different version of the Man of Steel than we'd seen previously, a modern take for a modern world.

It's hard not to recognize him with his starring roles in The Witcher, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Argylle, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
