Legacy Unveiled: A Distinctive Figure from the DC Universe
The writer and director of the first of his DC Universe movies is committed to rebooting Superman with the help of Henry Cavill after Zack Snyder played him.
James Gunn has revealed the traditional DC character who will appear in Superman: Legacy as he looks to follow in Jimmy Olsen’s footsteps. The writer and director of the first of his DC Universe movies is committed to rebooting Superman with the help of Henry Cavill after Zack Snyder played him. Details about Superman: Legacy are still under wraps, but it is known that it will not be an origin story for Clark Kent. Instead, the film explores his life on Earth as he grapples with his Kryptonian heritage and what his parents on Earth taught him. It is not yet known who Superman will fight or who will join him on his adventures.
Shortly after announcing major updates to the film and revealing that it is currently in pre-production, James Gunn confirmed on Twitter that Jimmy Olsen is starring in Superman: Legacy. Jimmy Olsen is his classic DC character in the Superman story, Clark Kent’s best friend and Daily Planet photographer. He has previously been played by Mark McClure in Richard Donner’s Superman series, Sam Huntington in Superman Returns, and Michael Cassidy in Batman: Dawn of Justice. Jimmy Olsen becomes the second DC character officially confirmed for Superman: Legacy, joining the Man of Steel.
Other Classic DC Characters Who Could Be In Superman: Legacy
Jimmy Olsen is set to star in Superman: Legacy, and many traditional DC characters will be part of the cast. James Gunn’s tweet follows talk that he, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor are involved in the script. Gunn doesn’t officially play the roles of Lois Lane or Lex Luthor in this film, but it’s hard to imagine either being omitted. While Lois Lane is Superman’s true love, Lex Luthor is also his greatest rival.
Superman: Legacy is expected to feature the return of classic DC characters in the form of Superman’s parents. The film will likely involve Jonathan and Martha Kent as it explores how Clark’s upbringing on Earth and his relationship with his adoptive parents influenced his worldview. The hint that Superman: Legacy will partially deal with Kal-El’s Kryptonian heritage could also be a strong hint that Jor-El and Lara Ro-Van will be back.
Now that it’s known that Jimmy Olsen will be starring in Superman: Legacy, James Gunn may also be planning on linking up the Daily Planet with others. This probably includes Clark, Lois, and Jimmy’s boss, Perry White. Other characters in Superman: Legacy include Cat Grant and Lana Lang. Considering James Gunn’s extensive knowledge of comics, there are many possibilities as to who will appear, not to mention if other superheroes will join the cast.
