Superman: Legacy has a new villain. María Gabriela De Faría has been cast in a villain role, The Engineer. This version of the character debuted in The Authority #1 in 1999, created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. She joins David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho in the cast. James Gunn is directing the film from his own script, as this film kicks off a new era of DC Comics films. It is set to release on July 11th, 2025. Gunn confirmed that the strikes from this year did not affect the timeline for the making of the film and that they will still hit that release date. Deadline has the news of this latest casting.
The Superman: Legacy Cast Is Already Top Notch
De Faría has been involved with plenty of projects on both the big and small screen in the last couple of years. She has had roles in comedies like Animal Control and The Moodys and a lead role in Lionsgate's The Exorcism of God. We here at Bleeding Cool knew her from Deadly Class, the show based on the Image Comics series in 2018 and was canceled in June 2019. Superman: Legacy already has one heck of a cast involved, so it has that going for it. Personally, with the characters they are playing, I still worry that they are biting off more than they can chew right out of the gate instead of starting slow and ramping up. If anyone can juggle such a large ensemble cast, it is Gunn, so in him, we trust for now.
