Iniziate le lavorazioni su Superman: Legacy, il primo film del nuovo corso della DC realizzato da James Gunn che rientra tra i 10 progetti che compongono la prima fase della nuova DC

Ecco i casting considerati finora...

Da The Hollywood Reporter:

Searching for Superman: Inside the Quest to Cast DC’s New Top Hero (Exclusive)

The race to find Clark Kent and Lois Lane has been heating up as top contenders like Nicholas Hoult and David Corenswet pull ahead.

The quest for James Gunn’s Superman is up, up, and away.

Casting for Superman: Legacy, the feature that is meant to kick off Gunn and Peter Safran’s much-vaunted first chapter of DC Studios, is hitting a crucial phase, with a short list of names bubbling up for the roles of Clark Kent, Lois Lane and even Lex Luthor.

David Corenswet, who recently played the ill-fated projectionist opposite Mia Goth in Pearl, is among the top contenders to play Kent, aka Superman, advancing to the screen test stage that will likely take place after Memorial Day or early June, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Two other contenders may also be in the mix but their identities remain unknown.

Jacob Elordi, the sought-after star who broke out as the resident villain on HBO series Euphoria, is a name that surfaced for the role of Kent but sources say he never submitted himself into the ring. British actors Tom Brittney and Andrew Richardson are also names that were in the early mix.

As for Lane, the spunky reporter at Metropolis’ Daily Planet news organization, contenders have been Emma Mackey, one of the stars of the Netflix series Sex Education and who will appear in Warner Bros. title Barbie; Rachel Brosnahan, the Emmy-winning star of Amazon’s acclaimed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor; and Samara Weaving, last seen in Scream VI. It is unclear who is advancing on to the testing stage. Brosnahan is said to have delivered an “outstanding” audition but, at 32, may be in the older range for what Gunn is ultimately hoping to achieve, a look at Metropolis heroics via 20-something characters.

Sources caution that some of these are not screen testing and have merely been in the mix. One source, without providing additional detail, dismissed some of the names as “a chatroom list.” Warners had no comment and one insider said the filmmakers and studio “are nowhere near a decision.”

One role that seems to have only one person earmarked is the classic villain Luthor. Nicholas Hoult, currently starring in vampire thriller Renfield, has been tipped to play the bald-headed evil genius. Hoult’s name has been swirling around Legacy for several weeks now with some theorizing he was up for Superman. The actor had a previous close call with the DC movie realm when he the runner-up to play Batman for Matt Reeves, with the role going to Robert Pattinson. “The studio has loved him since Fury Road,” said one source, referring to Warners’ 2015 action classic from George Miller.

And while the roles being chased by many of the town’s up-and-comers include the trio of classic characters, sources say the movie will be populated by many faces as it will seek to introduce DC heroes that are already established in the movie’s setting.

Superman: Legacy will be the first film under the Gunn-Safran regime at DC, making the casting of particular note. The superhero holds a place of particular importance for Gunn. “I completely relate to Superman because he’s everything I am,” Gunn told THR in an April cover story. “He’s somebody who is an outsider who feels like an alien, but also the ultimate insider, because he’s fucking Superman. And that’s kind of like what I feel like.”

As for the macroeconomics of Superman, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is betting big on the new superhero strategy. “DC is the biggest value creation opportunity for us,” Zaslav said in February, during a Q4 earnings report. In 2022 and early 2023, WBD cleared the DC decks, shelving Batgirl indefinitely claiming a tax write-down, and releasing Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods to mixed results at the box office. Still to come is Blue Beetle, which was once set for HBO Max but was moved to an August theatrical release, and June’s long-delayed Flash movie that has already been screened in full for exhibitors at CinemaCon with positive results. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, due out in December, is the final DC film made by the previous regime.

‘Superman: Legacy’ Audition Process Gears Up As James Gunn Dives Into The Search To Find The Next Clark Kent, Lois Lane And Lex Luthor

With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 set to take the top spot for the second straight weekend at the box-office, director James Gunn is now starting to turn his attentions to his next big project Superman: Legacy and the auditioning process that’s currently under way. For the last several weeks, talent has been submitting audition tapes for the main roles in the upcoming pic which include Clark Kent aka Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. While Gunn has only just begun watching the tapes now that press for Guardians 3 is behind him, some of the names in the mix for Kent include Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet, Jacob Elordi and Andrew Richardson are among the actors in mix for the Superman role.

Sources also add that Emma Mackey,Rachel Brosnahan, Phoebe Dynevor and Samara Weaving are among those testing for Lois Lane. The last of the test were submitted on May 4 and insiders with talent involved in auditioning have been told that the plan is for Gunn to watch every tape and a decision isn’t expected for some time but sill it seems we are gaining some traction at finding out in the next couple of months who will landed these highly-coveted roles.

As for Superman’s nemesis, Lex Luthor, there are various routes it could land. While Gunn has been checking with some A-list names he’s worked with in the past, sources say one role that has been testing as been for a part simply labeled “Apex” and for those that aren’t Superman historians, that part could actually be Apex Lex Luthor, who is not only version of the villain that has the strength to fight Superman but also would hint at a potential multiverse situation as Apex Lex did have run ins with other Luthors in various dimensions.

Borys Kit @Borys_Kit:

Saturday SUPERMAN scoop: David Corenswet is a front-runner for James Gunn's Superman movie, with Tom Brittney also in mix. Emma Mackey, Rachel Brosnahan, Phoebe Dynevor, Samara Weaving for Lois Lane. And...will Nicholas Hoult be Lex?



Da Twitter:

Justin Kroll @krolljvar:

Hoult is up Superman not Luthor



Da Twitter:

Justin Kroll @krolljvar:

To be clear, they aren’t close to making a short list let alone picking their Superman, so using terms like “front-runner” might be a tad strong



Da Twitter:


Justin Kroll @krolljvar:

One thing not mentioned, while they have been taking submissions for the Lex Luthor role, sources tell me Gunn has been talking to one of his Guardians for the part. Sounds like its probably not happening but there certainly were discussions during GOTG 3 press tour

‘Superman: Legacy’ In-Person Screen Tests On The Horizon As Warner Bros And James Gunn Get Closer To Finding Clark Kent And Lois Lane

EXCLUSIVE: Following months of going through dozens of audition tapes, Warner Bros and DC Films look to be getting closer to finding the stars of their Superman: Legacy movie as a second round of testing looks to be imminent.

Insiders close to the process say the first in-person tests with DC co-heads Peter Safran and James Gunn (who is writing and directing the pic) will take place around Father’s Day weekend or the Monday or Tuesday after with Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet and Tom Brittney expected to test for Clark Kent aka Superman, and Emma Mackey, Rachel Brosnahan and Phoebe Dynevor testing for Lois Lane. Sources added that some of the test deals are still being negotiated and haven’t all closed, but that as of now these are the names expected to participate in the auditions.

DC Studios had no comment on the second rounds of tests.

Deadline had reported last month these were among the names that had submitted audition tapes and that execs had only just begun watching each tape — especially Gunn, who only recently wrapped his press tour for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Gunn had let it be known he wanted to be thorough and watch each tape, and over that time those names rose to the top as the short list was created.

As for other roles such as the Lex Luthor and Jimmy Olsen, those decisions will likely happen after decisions are made on Superman and Lois.

More to come.

Gunn ha abbinato gli attori finalisti di Clark e Lois mettendoli in coppia e entro breve (si parla addirittura la fine della settimana) si saprà chi interpreterà i volti iconici dell'adattamento dei fumetti DC.

Dal sito The Hollywood Reporter:

Inside the ‘Superman: Legacy’ Screen Tests as Decision 2023 Drags into Second Week

James Gunn paired six hopefuls for Clark Kent and Lois Lane over the June 17 weekend — with Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan, Tom Brittney and Phoebe Dynevor, and David Corenswet and Emma Mackey each filming together.

With The Flash not proving to the be the box office savior Warner Bros. was anticipating, the pressure on new DC Studios’ heads James Gunn and Peter Safran has increased exponentially.

And that in turns means increased weight on Superman: Legacy, the inaugural movie from Gunn and Safran. And it may not get any more weightier than casting the right actor to play Clark Kent/Superman, and his romantic and professional foil, Lois Lane.

Gunn, who is writing and directing the feature, held screen tests the weekend of June 17 on the Warners lot in Burbank and the process has been kept in a lead-lined box as Gunn shows the assembled cuts to a deciding committee of executives, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav among them. Despite the secrecy, some details have emerged even as the final choice has not.

Gunn, according to sources, assembled three actors and three actresses for Superman and Lane, respectively, and on Saturday, the first day of the testing, the actors were seen in predetermined pairs: Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan; Tom Brittney and Phoebe Dynevor; and David Corenswet and Emma Mackey. They were given several scenes to film, in which the males were in makeup and wardrobe as Daily Planet reporter Kent while the females were plucky journalist Lane.

Then on Sunday, Hoult, Brittney and Corenswet did another series of screen tests, this time in costume as Superman. Interestingly, only Mackey was brought in that day to portray Lane opposite the actors.

Sources caution that just because Mackey segued into the second day does not mean she is the front-runner for Lane, although it may be hard not to have that interpretation.

The search for Superman is a complex one. In Gunn’s back-to-basics version, any choice has to be able to play the part of someone who is credibly a farmboy from Kansas, a reporter at a big city media outlet, and the Man of Steel, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

The search brings back memories of the testing for the lead in 2011’s infamous Green Lantern, in which actors had to play cocky pilot Hal Jordan and a mask-wearing space cop from the Green Lantern Corps. The casting came down to Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper but the lynchpin was the mask. Some inside the studio preferred Cooper but he fared poorly in the superhero costume tests. The same situation is very likely playing out on Superman.

Gunn had an assembled cut of the screen tests by Wednesday to show to Warners brass. A decision could come this week.

And once the decisions on Kent and Lane are made, Gunn will quickly pull the trigger on next wave. Sources say there is also a shortlist for villain Lex Luthor (siblings Alexander and Bill Skarsgard have been mention as being on it and it’s not clear whether Hoult, who was initially wanted for the part before deciding to try for Kent/Superman, would put himself in the running again.) There are also other heroes to cast, such as members of a supergroup named The Authority; part of the new storyline is Superman joining a world in which superheroes already exist.

Gunn hopes to have Superman: Legacy before cameras in early 2024 in time for a July 11, 2025 release. The movie is an attempt to kickstart a whole new movie slate based on the DC characters after two attempts in the last dozen have fizzled due to various factors, box office failure and changes in studio ownership, among them. Warners is in the process of releasing the last three movies made by the previous regime. Flash, which was internally considered the best of the bunch and, backed by high test screening scores, pre-ordained a success) unexpectedly cratered theatrically. Box office expectations are not sky-high for Blue Beetle, which opens in August and stars Xolo Maridueña, who will carry on in the new Universe. Meanwhile, observers are wondering if Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which opens in December, can match the $1.1 billion high from the original, released five years ago, an achingly long time to wait in the superhero movie world.

Superman will have a year and a half theatrical break between the previous regime’s movies but Gunn and Safran know not only do they have to nail Superman down as a blockbuster on its own terms, they have to put their best foot forward to generate enthusiasm and a hit for the movies and shows that come after.

Trovati Superman e Lois Lane!

Dal sito DeadLine:

‘Superman: Legacy’: James Gunn Taps David Corenswet And Rachel Brosnahan To Play Clark Kent And Lois Lane In DC Studios Film

Following months of audition tapes and in-person screen tests, Warner Bros and DC Studios have their new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. David Corenswet has been set to play Superman while Rachel Brosnahan are on board to play Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.

The decision comes after the two were among the few selected to test in front of DC co-chairs Peter Safran and Gunn (who is directing) in full costume and makeup for the parts.

The tests took place over two days with the men; one of the days saw the three actors in full Superman attire. Sources close to the situation said that each actor had closed test deals that would expire after two business weeks, so clearly all parties wanted this sorted out before a potential SAG-AFTRA strike, which could go into effect at midnight June 30.

Warner Bros has yet to say whether it will be attending next month’s Comic-Con in San Diego, so there is still a chance the two could be introduced at the studio’s Hall H panel. That said, if there is a SAG-AFTRA strike, Corenswet and Brosnahan could not attend as strike guidelines state no actors can promote any projects during a strike.

The Superman: Legacy casting process has gone on for months, with Safran and Gunn wanting a thorough search to find the new leads for this new franchise. With the two roles now locked up, Gunn will now look to fill the shoes of Superman’s arch-nemesis Lex Luthor as well as other supporting characters like Kent’s friend Jimmy Olsen.

Gunn (the Guardian of the Galaxy films, The Suicide Squad, the original Max series Peacemaker) is directing from his screenplay based on the DC characters. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film is being produced by Safran (Aquaman, the upcoming Aquaman 2, The Conjuring franchise).

Superman: Legacy has been set for a worldwide release on July 11, 2025.

The project was announced earlier this year when Gunn and Safran laid out their plan for the first phase of this revamped slate and Superman: Legacy was front and center as the project that would help launch this strategy. That presentation also included plans for a new Batman pic, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which recently tapped Andy Muschietti to direct; and The Authority.

For Corenswet, the film will mark his first major leading role in a major studio film having previously appeared in projects like Pearl, The Politician and We Own This City. From the start, his name has floated to the top and, following that final audition, sealed the deal on the biggest role of his career so far.

Brosnahan is coming off the final season of her career-making role in Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which has earned a number of accolades including an Emmy win. She also has been at the top of the list of woman to play Lois Lane following what many have described as the best audition of the process.

Corenswet is repped by CAA and Untitled. Brosnahan is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

il titolo semplice Superman secondo noi è maggiormente efficace...
non c'è bisogno di tanti titoli di accompagnamento, basta che facciano quello che è... Superman
