Although details about the post-credit scenes are kept secret, their presence offers intriguing opportunities for hinting at future DC Universe movies. Since Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is next in line for the DCU, it’s quite likely that Milly Alcock might appear as Kara Zor-El. Other possibilities include Nathan Fillion’s character, Guy Gardner, laying groundwork for the Lanterns series, or even a return by Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr., who links the Creature Commandos, Superman, and the upcoming second season of Peacemaker.

Everything We Know About James Gunn’s Superman

In this new take on the DC Universe, it’s Superman, portrayed by David Corenswet, who will be the foundation. This isn’t an origin story but rather a glimpse into a Superman audiences are already familiar with. Clark Kent is a young reporter at the Daily Planet, where he interacts with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), and Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) has a long-standing animosity towards Superman, although they haven’t met yet.

James Gunn has referenced Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s groundbreaking work All-Star Superman as a significant influence. This version of Superman embodies “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow,” with a strong emphasis on compassion in a world that might find such ideals outdated. The storyline will delve into Clark’s struggle to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas, under the watchful eyes of his adoptive parents, Jonathan Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and Martha Kent (Neva Howell).

In the universe of Superman, there are already established classic DC characters. Among those confirmed to make an appearance are Edi Gathegi portraying Mister Terrific (Michael Holt), Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho (Rex Mason). On the antagonistic side, María Gabriela de Faría will play Angela Spica, also known as The Engineer, a member of The Authority who possesses powers involving liquid metal nanotechnology. Lastly, Sean Gunn has been cast as the cunning businessman Maxwell Lord, whose relationships with other characters are yet to be revealed.

DC Studios’ Superman is scheduled to soar into theaters on July 11th.
