2023 has been an outstanding year for Superman fans, and one of the chief reasons for this has been the news surrounding Superman: Legacy, the first movie on the DC Universe’s Chapter One slate. During the latter half of 2023, we’ve slowly been learning who will be part of the Superman: Legacy cast, with David Corenswet leading the pack as the Man of Steel. Well, there’s more news to share today, as the upcoming DC movie has cast both its Jimmy Olsen and Eve Tesmacher, and my excitement for the James Gunn-written and directed reboot has kicked up a notch.
Just one day after it was revealed that Nicholas Hoult is in talks to play Lex Luthor, THR is sharing that Skyler Gisondo and Sara Sampaio have been respectively cast as Jimmy and Miss Tesmacher. Gisondo is arguably best known for playing Gideon Gemstone in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones (which, like the DC movies in order, can be viewed with a Max subscription), but you may also be familiar with him from movies and TV shows like The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, Vacation, Licorice Pizza, Psych, Santa Clarita Diet, Fairfax and The Resort. While Sampaio is best known for her Victoria’s Secret work, she does have some some acting credits under her name, including appearing in an episode of Billions.
