Gunn defended the movie’s cast size by saying that after showing it to numerous people, he found no signs of confusion among them. “I can confirm it’s not confusing,” he said. The apprehension arises from the fact that the film, titled Superman, introduces not just the newcomers like David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, but also a substantial number of established DC characters such as Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). This group is known as the Justice Gang. Additionally, Superman includes other characters like Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), while also introducing fresh faces like the Hammer of Boravia. Given this extensive lineup for the first film in a new cinematic universe, some people find it an ambitious undertaking for world-building.
