Superman Legacy Fan Cast and What I want to see in Legacy.

 

Superman Legacy

Fan Cast and Ideas

So with a new Superman film coming out in 2025, here is my fan cast for the upcoming Superman film and my ideas for the film. 

First, here is my fan cast.

Wolfgang Novogratz as Clark Kent/Superman 

Wolfgang looks like Clark Kent, and since this film will cast a younger Superman, I would go with him. He's 25 and looks like Superman, even though I wished they had kept Henry Cavil as Superman because he deserves better. However, I trust Gunn and think he will cast a good actor to take over as Superman.  Gunn has said that his Superman will not kill anyone, which I like because Superman never kills. 

Natalia Dyer as Lois Lane

Lois Lane will likely be in the film as a love interest, but I hope they cast a younger actress. I don't want to see another actress ten years older than Wolfgang. Natalia Dyer is only two years more than Wolf, so she can work as Lois Lane because of her performance in Stranger Things. 

Adam Driver as Lex Luthor 

Adam Driver, I feel, would be a good Lex Luthor not because of Star Wars but because of his other performances. I think Lex Luthor will be in the film but won't be the villain. They will build him up as the villain in the next movie.  

Ty Simpkins as Jimmy Olsen 

In this film, Jimmy is Superman's biggest fan and Clark Kent's best friend. 

Greg Kinnear as Perry White 

Perry White is in the film as Clark's boss and is mixed about Superman. Perry is a demanding boss but cares about his journalists. 

Brandon Michael Hall as Ron Troupe 

Ron Troupe is a Daily Planet journalist and Clark Kent's friend. 

Natalie Alyn Lind as Cat Grant 

Cat Grant is a gossip writer for the Daily Planet. 

Gabriel Basso as Steve Lambard 

Steve is a sports writer for the Daily Planet and often bullies Clark. 

Jon Hamm as General Sam Lane 

Sam Lane is Lois Lane's father and a general in the military. Sam views Superman as a threat to humanity. 

Stephen James as John Henry Irons 

I think John Henry Irons will be in the film and be a supporting character. One thing I would do with the character is make him a childhood friend of Clark Kent, and in future films, he would become Steel. 

Maya Hawke as Lana Lang 

Martha would be Clark's ex-girlfriend from Smallville, and they might include her in the film. She's now in a relationship with John Irons. 

Matt Damon as Jonathan Kent 

Now I don't know if they will kill off the Kents or if they will be alive in the film. 

Jenna Fischer as Maratha Kent

Maratha Kent would likely be in the film as a supporting cast member. 

Michael Fassbender as Brainiac 

Many people will ask why we are not surprised about Braianic as your first Superman villain. 

So that's my cast for Superman Legacy. I don't know if Gunn will go with these characters, but he might. Now here is what I want to see in Gunn's Superman Legacy. Already Gunn has confirmed the film won't be an origin story. The film will focus on an established Superman who is younger and has been Superman for a few years. His Superman is younger and has been Superman for a few years, and he will not kill anyone because Superman doesn't like killing. That is good! Here is what I want to see in Superman Legacy. 

6. I want to see Krypto in the film. 

I think this film should have Krypto because who doesn't love dogs? I believe Krypto would be an excellent addition to the film. This Superman film needs to be more fun and light-hearted, and I think adding Krypto is a good idea. 

5. Make Superman an inspiring character. 

Since Gunn is looking at All-Star Superman for ideas. I want to see this scene adapt because it's an emotional moment but inspiring too. Superman saves a girl from killing herself and tells her she is much stronger than she thinks. It's such a fantastic moment, and it would be an excellent way to introduce Superman in the film or in a teaser because it brings hope to everyone. It also shows what a good man Superman is. 

4. This Superman has to be the face of the DCU and set up Justice League.

Superman will start the DCU, and I want Superman to be the face of the DCU moving forward. I know Gunn will do that because this film will be the Iron Man of the MCU. This film will set the stage for a Justice League movie, but I hear Gunn wants to focus on each character's universe, so I think the film will mention other cities, and Superman knows he's not the only hero on earth. I believe this film and Brave and the Bold and Lanterns are the first half to set up Justice League. I don't know when Gunn announced a Wonder Woman reboot or a Flash follow-up, and I don't know what the team rooster will be, but I'm hoping for the animated series team or the New 52 team.

Also, I want this Superman to lead the Justice League. 

3. This Superman needs a worthy foe to fight in the film. 

Now I've heard reports that Brainiac will be the film's villain, but there is also the idea they might go with a different villain. I hope so. Brainaic would be a great first villain to introduce because Brainaic is responsible for Krypton's destruction. Many fans want him as the villain. I can see Lex Luthor in the film, but they should save him for the next movie. I don't know if Gunn will go with Brainiac, but from what I've read, they are considering using him as the villain. 

I would build up Lex Luthor as a future villain like Superman 2 or 3 or a Justice League film. Where he forms the Legion of Doom. They could with different villains, like Bizzaro, Mongul, Mettalo, and many more. 

2. Superman and Lois's relationship. As well as Clark Kent's life working at the Daily Planet.

No doubt, Gunn will have Lois Lane as Superman's love interest, and I want to see their relationship grow and maybe have Lois learn Clark's secret identity by the film's end. We see how she reacts to learning Clark is Superman, and I want to see Lois's father, Sam Lane, in the movie. I think what would be interesting is that she believes Superman is a hero, but her father thinks he's dangerous and a threat to earth. It would also be an interesting dynamic; Lex Luthor will share Sam's point of view of Superman.  

I also want to see Clark's work life at the Daily Planet, and we see his co-workers like maybe he and Jimmy are roommates.  Clark Kent is also a nice guy who is the exact opposite of Superman, and he's just working as a reporter living an everyday job. 

1. Build up the Superman Family.

That's one thing I want to see. This film builds up the Superman family. We got a Supergirl film in the works, too, but I'm not keen on them adapting Tom King's story because Tom King is a mixed writer. I hated what he did with Wally West in Heroes in Crisis, but he did admit in the end it was a mistake what he did with Wally West. As well, his Batman run did bother me a bit. I won't get into details; I just have very mixed about Tom King. However, I think the film should have John Henry Irons in the movie, and we see him get inspired by Superman and set him up to become Steel in a future movie. I also hope to see Conner Kent/Superboy, Lana Lang becoming Superwoman, and Power Girl in the future if they go multiverse. We will likely see Superman and Supergirl meet in a future film. 

Maybe the next Superman film is set in space, and you have Superman meeting his cousin, and he's got to save her from Mongul. That would be an exciting idea for a Superman movie set in space. Maybe he learns about Kara and has to rescue her from Mongul, accompanied by Steel and Lois. Superman struggles because he can't use his powers on different planets. After all, other suns in the galaxy don't give Superman his abilities. 

Or they might just have Kara arrive on Earth, and they could adapt the Superman/Batman: Supergirl story arc. I've read this storyline. It would be a cool way to have Supergirl on earth. She meets her cousin Ka'l  and Batman. She learns to be a human on earth and bond with Clark as a brother. However, this storyline would have to happen after Justice League. Also, we need to see Superman's friendship with Batman grow too. I don't know how Supergirl will end, but they will set her up to meet her cousin. 

So that's my Superman Legacy Fan Cast and What I Want To See.

I think Gunn has good plans, but we will see what will happen in 2025 because there could be a chance this might suck. So let's keep our expectations low; hopefully, Gunn will deliver.
