‘Superman: Legacy’ Gets Title Change
deadline.comSuperman: Legacy is now just Superman, director and DC studio chief James Gunn has revealed. “Overjoyed to be announcing the start of principal photography on SUPERMAN today, February 29, which just so happens to be – coincidentally and unplanned – Superman’s birthday,” Gunn wrote on Instagram this afternoon. “When I finished the first draft of the script, I called the film Superman: Legacy.

David Corenswet is playing Clark Kent/Superman, with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as the villain Lex Luthor.
