It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s the brand new Superman — and Lois Lane!
David Corenswet, 29, and Rachel Brosnahan, 32, have been forged because the leads in DC Studios’ recent James Gunn film “Superman: Legacy,” Deadline reported Tuesday.
Corenswet rose to fame within the A24 horror film “Pearl,” but is best known for “Hollywood” and “The Politician,” that are each Ryan Murphy Netflix series.
Brosnahan recently ended her five-season run because the title star in Amazon‘s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

Brosnahan apparently beat out actresses Emma Mackey and Phoebe Dynevor, who were reportedly also within the running to portray Lois Lane.
The Post has contacted Corenswet, Brosnahan and DC Studios for comment.
Gunn will direct “Superman: Legacy,” from his screenplay based on characters from DC.
In accordance with the film’s synopsis, the story follows Superman as “he reconciles his heritage along with his human upbringing. He’s the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way in a world that views kindness as old-fashioned.”
The casting news marks the official retiring of Henry Cavill’s Superman cape.
The 40-year-old played Superman since 2013’s “Man of Steel,” and reprised the role in 2016’s “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League.”
In October, he said that he could be donning the famous cape again — only to retract it.
“I even have just had a gathering with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and it’s sad news, everyone. I’ll, in any case, not be returning as Superman,” Cavill revealed in November.
“Superman: Legacy” is scheduled to hit theaters July 11, 2025.
