Superman: Legacy: De Faría Offers Look at Gunn's "Gods and Monsters"

Superman: Legacy star María Gabriela De Faría shared an interesting look inside "the land of [James Gunn's] Gods and Monsters."

Yesterday, Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn and María Gabriela De Faría (Animal Control) posted a look at the chance they had to meet up as De Faría gets started on costume fittings and stunt training. In the David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan-starring film, De Faría portrays Angela Spica/The Engineer – a member of the Warren Ellis & Bryan Hitch-created The Authority on the comics side of the DCU. But that wasn't all because De Faría also shared a glimpse inside "the land of [James Gunn's] Gods and Monsters." Located in a room that looks like it came directly from the set of Babylon 5, we see a laptop with a visual of The Engineer & The Authority on the screen – but good luck trying to figure out what the wording is along with it.

Here's a screencap of what De Faría had to share, which was also reposted by Gunn:

"With the Engineer herself, [Maria Gabriela De Faria], in town for stunts and costume fittings for 'Superman.' You guys are gonna love this character on screen!" Gunn wrote as the caption to his Instagram post on Friday. De Faria added in her post, "The Engineer, El Jefe [James Gunn], and the most exciting morning ever ❤️" Here's a look:

Superman: Legacy – James Gunn Makes the Announcement

Here's a look back at Gunn's tweet from March 2023 making the announcement that he would be writing and directing Superman: Legacy, followed by the full, heartfelt text of the message he shared while confirming what's been rumbling around social media since the previous week:

"Yes, I'm directing Superman: Legacy to be released on July 11, 2025. My brother Matt told me when he saw the release date he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, 'Dude, it's Dad's birthday.' I hadn't realized," Gunn wrote in the opening to his series of tweets announcing the news. "I lost my Dad almost three years ago. He was my best friend. He didn't understand me as a kid, but he supported my love of comics and my love of film, and I wouldn't be making this movie now without him. It has been a long road to this point. I was offered Superman years ago – I initially said no because I didn't have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved. Then a bit less than a year ago, I saw a way in, in many ways centering around Superman's heritage – how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes."
