James Gunn Confirms Casting Of Key Daily Planet Character For New ‘Superman’ Movie
The Daily Planet family just keeps getting bigger! James Gunn confirms a key casting announcement for his Superman reboot for the DC Universe.

Both Steve Lombard and Perry White have always been minor antagonists for Clark Kent, suggesting that Superman may hold a B-Plot focusing on the characters working at the Daily Planet while dealing with the world-ending consequences of the main story. Gunn has been consistent in wanting to keep his actors across all forms of media, so cementing such an iconic Daily Planet character so early on is an important step in seeing that vision through.
