There’s a new DC universe in town that’s being kick-started by James Gunn’s “Superman” this weekend. Headlined by David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, “Superman” is poised to relaunch the DC universe and usher in a more vibrant, less serious connected world after Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” and the resulting DCEU.

Corenswet takes over from Henry Cavill as the Last Son of Krypton. “Superman” picks up years after the super-strong, cape-wearing alien crash Kal-El lands onto Earth and takes up a reporting job at the Daily Planet as his alter ego Clark Kent. Rather than give an origin story to the iconic DC hero, Gunn’s film picks up in a world that is well familiar with Superman and has several other heroes flying around as the Justice Gang, an early prototype of what’s soon to become the Justice League. There’s Green Lantern Corps member Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), the high-flying Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), shape-shifting Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) and the super-smart Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). With them, Superman must face off against his ultimate nemesis, the evil genius Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), while also balancing his relationship with ace Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan).

Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe officially began in December with the animated HBO Max series “Creature Commandos,” which introduced Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) — who will near appear in Season 2 of “Peacemaker,” which is getting grandfathered into the new DCU even though it technically premiered in the old regime. What is clear: “Superman” takes the DCU to the big screen for the first time.

See the cast of Gunn’s “Superman” below.

Superman (David Corenswet)

Before taking on the Man of Steel, David Corenswet starred in last year’s disaster movie “Twisters” and had roles in shows like “The Politician,” “We Own This City,” “Lady in the Lake” and “Hollywood.” He’s taking over the super mantle from Henry Cavill, who starred in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” and “Justice League” movies. Corenswet’s take on DC’s most famous hero is more vibrant and less serious than Cavill’s — plus, he brings back Superman’s iconic red trunks.

Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan)

Rachel Brosnahan is best known for starring in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” where she won an Emmy and two Golden Globes for her hilarious performance. Now, she steps into her first comic book movie as the Daily Planet’s ace reporter and Superman’s love interest Lois Lane. She’s the latest star to play Lois Lane, after Amy Adams, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Kate Bosworth and more.

Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult)

After originally auditioning for Superman (and Batman before the role went to Robert Pattinson), Nicholas Hoult is now Lex Luthor, the hero’s ultimate nemesis. Hoult previously starred as Beast in the “X-Men” prequel films and had major roles in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “The Great,” “Nosferatu” and more. Like other Luthor actors — including Jesse Eisenberg, Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, Jon Cryer and Michael Cudlitz — Hoult fully shaved his head for the mad genius role.

Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced)

Isabela Merced is taking flight as Hawkgirl amid a breakout run of roles, including Season 2 of “The Last of Us,” plus movies “Alien: Romulus” and “Madame Web.” Hawkgirl, a.k.a. Kendra Saunders, is a member of the Justice Gang, reincarnated from an ancient alien and wields a powerful mace made of Nth metal. This is the first time DC fans will see Hawkgirl in a live-action film, after Aldis Hodge played her counterpart Hawkman in “Black Adam.”

Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion)

Gunn’s frequent collaborator Nathan Fillion returns to the fold as Green Lantern Corps member Guy Gardner. Fillion previously worked with the filmmaker in “The Suicide Squad,” “Slither” and “Super,” plus he’s starred in shows like “Castle” and “The Rookie.” In fact, the actor has a long history with the Green Lantern Corps — voicing Hal Jordan in a slew of animated projects.

In “Superman,” though, Fillion sports Guy’s comic-accurate bowl cut and his brash attitude, and, like every Green Lantern, Guy can create constructs from his powerful ring. He’ll reappear in the HBO series “Lanterns.”

Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi)

Edi Gathegi plays super scientist and master inventor Mister Terrific, a.k.a. Michael Holt. “Superman” marks his biggest role after appearing in “For All Mankind,” “The Blacklist,” “Twilight” and more. Mister Terrific is a member of the Justice Gang, alongside Guy Gardner, Metamorpho and Hawkgirl, and uses his high-tech gadgets, like the T-Craft and T-Spheres, to fight crime.

Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan)

Anthony Carrigan plays Metamorpho, a.k.a. Rex Mason, who can transmute his body into various elemental compounds. He can make himself stretchy like rubber, as hard as diamonds or turn into a liquid. He’s a member of the Justice Gang with Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl. Carrigan previously starred as NoHo Hank on HBO’s “Barry” and played Batman villain Victor Zsasz in “Gotham.”

Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo)

Frank Grillo reprises the role of Rick Flag Sr., which he originated in the animated Max series “Creature Commandos.” Flag is the director of A.R.G.U.S., a.k.a. the Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans, and is the father of the late soldier Rick Flag Jr., played by Joel Kinnaman in the “Suicide Squad” movies. The senior Flag will next appear in “Peacemaker” Season 2.

The Daily Planet’s Staff (Wendell Pierce, Skyler Gisondo, Mikaela Hoover, Beck Bennett and Christopher McDonald)

While they might not have superpowers, Gunn’s “Superman” spotlights the ground-level heroics of the reporters on the Metropolis newspaper’s masthead — namely, editor-in-chief Perry White (Wendell Pierce), photojournalist Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo), gossip columnist Cat Grant (Mikaela Hoover), sports editor Steve Lombard (Beck Bennett) and reporter Ron Troupe (Christopher McDonald).

Gisondo’s Olsen — a character previously portrayed by Jack Larson, Aaron Ashmore, Michael Landes, Mehcad Brooks and more — has a particularly sizable supporting role as he investigates Lex Luthor’s dirty dealings alongside Brosnahan’s Lois Lane.
