Projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Lanterns, and Clayface are also slated to begin production next year, further expanding this reimagined DC cinematic landscape. Corenswet emerged as Gunn’s top choice after beating out actors like Nicholas Hoult, who will now play Lex Luthor, as well as Tom Brittney and Andrew Richardson. David Corenswet’s portrayal of the iconic superhero will serve as the foundation for Gunn and Safran’s ambitious plans, ushering in a fresh chapter for one of the most beloved characters in comic book history.
