Overview

• David Corenswet stars as Superman alongside a supersized cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen and members of the Justice Gang.
• Gunn has previewed the film for multiple audiences and reports that viewers consistently follow the story without confusion despite the large cast.
