We may have gotten our first look at the Superman symbol that will be adorned by David Corenswet in the upcoming DCU reboot, Superman: Legacy. The logo was glimpsed via the Instagram story of star Isabela Merced, who will portray DC superhero Hawkgirl in the movie. It was displayed on the actress’ name tag during the recent table read of the Superman: Legacy script.
While it is currently unknown whether this will indeed be the logo used in Superman: Legacy, it is notable for its similarity to the logo used by the once-exiled Clark Kent in the 1996 DC comics arc, Kingdom Come, as well as by Superman Returns star Brandon Routh in The CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Emmy Award winner Rachel Brosnahan recently revealed that the DCU’s version of Superman “will have a sense of humor” and teased her take on the latest iteration of DC icon Lois Lane. Brosnahan described the Superman reboot’s Lois Lane as “feisty” and '...dare I say marvelous?' She expressed her enjoyment of working with director DC Studios CEO James Gunn and emphasized that Superman: Legacy is being made by a team of passionate Superman enthusiasts.
Brosnahan will play Lois Lane alongside David Corenswet as Clark Kent, aka Superman. The pair beat out several other actors for the iconic DC roles and are excited to bring their own interpretations of the characters to the big screen.
Superman: Legacy is set to begin filming in March and will kick off the new DCU in 2025. The movie will explore Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. The official synopsis describes Superman as the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that often overlooks kindness.
The Superman reboot will mark the beginning of the new DCU, with projects such as Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing reboot, and a Wonder Woman prequel series titled Paradise Lost to follow as part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
Superman: Legacy is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.
