One of the runners-up for the role of Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves' The Batman may end up playing the titular role in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy. During the press tour for the recently-released Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn mentioned that Superman: Legacy goes into production in January 2024. Due to this, various reports began circling online regarding the casting of the film's biggest characters.
From the casting of Superman: Legacy's Clark Kent and Lois Lane to the villainous Lex Luthor, many names have been put into circulation regarding who will play the iconic Metropolis trio. Regarding Superman, the front-runners include David Corenswet, Andrew Richardson, and Jacob Elordi, though the latter has been reported to have not submitted himself officially for the role. Besides these names, one other somewhat surprising inclusion for the potential casting of Clark Kent is an actor who was the second choice to play Batman in Matt Reeves' Elseworlds film.
