Henry Cavill’s Superman Replacement Actor Gets Officially Announced


After a long search, James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy has found its replacements for Henry Cavill’s Superman and Amy Adams’ Lois Lane.
Under a year ago, Cavill was set to come back as Superman with a new lease on life, but that was all thrown out with the reboot announcement and confirmation a younger actor will take on the role for Superman: Legacy.

The search for the next Superman has been a long one with plenty of rumors, with Gunn “blown away” by the auditions for the leading roles which included six actors for Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
The DCU Finds Its SupermanAccording to a new report from Deadline, James Gunn has found his Clark Kent and Lois Lane to lead Superman: Legacy, who will take over the leading roles from the DCEU’s Henry Cavill and Amy Adams.

After a long audition process that culminated in screen tests involving six actors, the rebooted DCU has found its Superman in 29-year-old David Corenswet – a popular fan cast for the role due to his classic Clark Kent appearance.
Corenswet’s filmography includes the slasher-horror movie Pearl and Netflix comedy-drama The Politician, with his next role ahead of Superman: Legacy coming with the 2024 disaster epic Twister.

The role of Lois Lane will seemingly go to Emmy-winning actress Rachel Brosnahan, 32, best known for her five-season run in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, with her reportedly having given the best audition of the bunch.
DC Studios co-CEO and Superman: Legacy director James Gunn shared The Hollywood Reporter’s coverage of the news on Twitter, confirming the two castings are “accurate,” praising the acting and character of the pair:

“Accurate! (They are not only both incredible actors, but also wonderful people).”
According to reports, the other two leading contenders for Superman were Tom Brittney and Nicholas Hoult, while Emma Mackey and Phoebe Dynevor lost out on the role of Lois Lane.
What Comes Next for Superman: Legacy?So, what comes next in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy process? Well, Gunn still has plenty more roles to cast, with Lex Luthor and Jimmy Olsen seemingly next up after three actors were reported for the iconic Superman villain.
Obviously, there will be plenty more side characters and villains to find on top of that, but another important job comes with finding the members of The Authority – a team of superheroes who will reportedly debut in Superman: Legacy before spinning out into their own DCU movie.
In the coming weeks and months, Gunn will continue to find more actors to round out Superman: Legacy’s cast, with the potential to see more names announced at San Diego Comic-Con at the end of July – provided DC Studios attends given Marvel Studios has opted out of the event.
Why James Gunn Picked Corenswet and BrosnahanJames Gunn explained to Variety during the casting process for Superman: Legacy that he was looking for an actor who can embody the humanity, alienness, kindness, and compassion of the Man of Steel, all while being “somebody that you’d want to give you a hug:”
“It has to be somebody who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and compassion that Superman has. And it has to be somebody that you’d want to give you a hug. You know, all the Supermen have been good, so we just have to add to that story.”
Clearly, David Corenswet embodied all those traits during the audition process, and he just so happens to look exactly like the classic Superman appearance – which will likely only be furthered in the coming months as the actor packs on some muscle before filming begins in January 2024.
On the topic of Rachel Brosnahan, the actress has clearly proven her immense talent in leading five seasons of Amazon’s successful The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which even bagged her an Emmy, two Golden Globes, and many more awards.
Part of the screen testing process likely involved pairing off Corenswet and Brosnahan, as the chemistry between the romantic leads of Clark Kent and Lois Lane will be integral to Superman: Legacy and the DCU going forward.
Superman: Legacy hits theaters on July 11, 2025.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
