Here's a look at Gunn's update from earlier today, letting folks know that the release date for Superman: Legacy is still on track:

Harbour on "Creature Commandos" Differing from "Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein": "Oh, yeah. No, he's very different. I mean, it's the mind of James Gunn, so it is wacky and strange but also full of a lot of depth and complexity. The most interesting thing to me about Frankenstein's monster, in general, is that he was created to be this sort of erudite, intellectual, romantic, brilliant person, and he winds up being a monster. I mean, that complexity can make for some pretty ripe comedy and also pathos—that a guy who considers himself one thing is viewed by others as something very different. That's the broadest, most mysterious way I can put it because all I know is the scripts are really good. What we recorded is really great. I've seen the art, James is a genius. I think it's going to be really fun and really exciting, and it opens up a whole new door to the DC Universe of how these characters will occupy the world. I like the concept of a live-action and cartoon back and forth."

Set for a Summer 2025 premiere, DC Studios' Superman: Legacy stars (so far) David Corenswet (Hollywood) set as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Isabela Merced (Sicario: Day of the Soldado) as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho. The role call for Max's Creature Commandos includes Frank Grillo set as Rick Flag Sr., with Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, and Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot & Weasel, and Steve Agee returning as John Economos. The animated series was cast with voice actors who are also expected to play their characters in any live-action projects down the road.
