The cast for James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy is shaping up with it revealed earlier this year that David Corenswet will play Clark Kent/Superman alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason / Metamorpho as well as the recently announced addition of Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, but there is plenty of casting still to come. And, according to Madison Beer, she may have auditioned for the film — though she didn’t end up getting the role.
In an appearance on Kiss’ “Say It Or Shot It”, Beer was asked about auditions that didn’t pan out and that’s when she revealed one might have been for the new Superman film.
“That might have been for the new Superman movie,” she said. “Sorry if that’s not announced. I didn’t get the part. Unfortunately not.”
She continued, “They don’t give too many specifics, especially for a film that huge. They keep the character vague and make up something new. I don’t know who the actual character I was auditioning for was.”
There has been some speculation that Beer may have auditioned for Eve Tesmacher, but nothing regarding that character or any casting for it has been officially announced. Fans will simply have to wait until more official casting is announced to see what other characters — and what actors are portraying them — will help round out the eagerly anticipated film.
What Is Superman: Legacy About?
Per DC Studios, Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned. Superman: Legacy will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason / Metamorpho.
“We got James Gunn and Peter (Safran) working very hard on DC, which is going to be a very big growth driver for this company,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav explained earlier this year. “We are very bullish on DC. The Superman script first draft is done. Gunn is on a mission from god. It is a really good moment to prove out on DC what we got and how strong it is globally for long-term sustainable growth.”
