David Corenswet is a frontrunner for the role of Clark Kent in Superman: Legacy, and a new fan art builds on his uncanny resemblance to Henry Cavill.

New Clark Kent frontrunner for Superman: Legacy, David Corenswet, looks even more like former Superman actor Henry Cavill in new fan art for James Gunn's upcoming reboot of the Man of Steel. Cavill left the role shortly after having returned in 2022's Black Adam as Superman. That choice was made due to Superman: Legacy's story being focused on a younger Clark Kent.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT On Twitter, artist @21xfour shared their vision for what Corenswet could look like as the lead of 2025's Superman: Legacy, and the Cavill comparisons gained another strong argument. Corenswet has been fancast as the new Superman for years, and if the actor ends up getting the role, it will be the second time the superhero realm sees a popular fancast become true in recent years. John Krasinski got to play Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after a similar situation.

The Superman: Legacy casting reports paint an interesting picture of where the movie might be headed, offering the first new bits of information on the Superman reboot in some time. Corenswet is a frontrunner for Superman, with the actor said to be screen testing for the role in early June at the latest. Nicholas Hoult could possibly be up for Superman or Lex Luthor, as reports conflict on which role the actor is up for.

Superman: Legacy's shortlist of actresses for the role of Lois Lane carries inspired choices. The list is made up of Phoebe Dynevor , Samara Weaving , Emma Mackey , and Rachel Brosnahan — the latter being reported to have delivered an outstanding audition for Lois. Given Superman: Legacy's January 2024 filming start, the movie's cast will need to be locked by the end of the year.
