The casting race for James Gunn’s "Superman: Legacy" has been widely discussed in the world of entertainment news. With everything we know about the DC character's recent history, the actors chosen to carry on the franchise’s roles of Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane are the first two building blocks to this movie world of tomorrow. We now know who will be filling those roles, as "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s" Rachel Brosnahan and "Pearl’s" David Corenswet are now the new Lois and Clark, and these picks are more powerful than a locomotive.

Deadline broke the news, which apparently came from a very secretive audition process that wanted to land on a decision before a potential SAG-AFTRA strike. “Full costume and makeup” screen tests were used to help Peter Safran and James Gunn, the co-CEOs of DC Films, pick the two in from the crowd of names that had been linked to the production up to this point.
