The cast of Superman: Legacy (2025) has been announced.
And one of the most pleasant surprises has been the re-gingerfication of Jimmy Olsen.
Most people are saying that James Gunn's castings have been spot-on. Varied character lineup, too!
Gonna be a while before this comes out, but the discussion can begin here.

David Corenswet - Superman/Clark Kent
Rachel Brosnahan - Lois Lane
Nicholas Hoult - Lex Luthor
Skyler Gisondo - Jimmy Olsen
Nathan Fillion - Guy Gardner
Isabela Merced - Hawkgirl
Edi Gathegi - Mr Terrific
Anthony Carrigan - Metamorpho
Maria Gabriela de Faria - The Engineer (first character from The Authority in the DCU!)
Sara Sampaio - Eve Teschmacher

Right, and as far as the heroines....

Hot 22-yr-old Isabel Merced will do what few actors have been able to do: star in DC and Marvel projects almost simultaneously.
Next year's Madame Web will feature her as Aranya/Anya Corazon, and she'll be Hawkgirl for the DCU shortly after that.
If her costumes are tight in both, this could get very interesting.

As for Maria de Faria, she is gorgeous too.
Angela Spica (Engineer) is supposed to be from Queens (and hence, her last name is definitely Italian) but de Faria's brooding Mediterranean looks are perfect for this role, and she'll be in silver/CGI spandex costume for much of it anyway, probably. It's strange that she's being billed as "villain" and I hope that's not the case. Even her nanotech powers are little match for a Kryptonian.

Hoping that both are a hit.
