The first photo of the cast from “Superman: Legacy”: Nicholas Hoult shows off his bald head of Lex Luthor

Filming for “Superman: Legacy” to start, that’s what we rehearse for. An integral part of these preparations is often the so-called ‘table read’, where those involved come together to read the entire script together – with everyone already in his or her role. This is how the huge cast of ‘Superman: Legacy’ came together, which director James Gunn immediately used for a group selfie.

Of course, Nicholas Hoult especially stands out in the photos now published on Instagram. The “Renfield” star, placed back in the middle, is already bald. As is known, he plays the Superman antagonist Lex Luthor – and the lack of hair is a trademark of the villain.

Here is an overview of all the people and their roles in the photo:

• The far left shows her hair, which is already blonde for her role Sara Sampaio as Lex Luthor’s assistant Eva Teschmacher.
• We see her directly above her Edi Gathegiwho became a superhero Mr Terrific wants.
• Behind this you can see the new baseball cap Superman/Clark Kent David Corenswet.
• It’s right before this one Terence Rosemorethe security guard/night watchman who works for Lex Luthor Otis embodied.
• Behind this and in the arms of Superman Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor with bald head.
• On his side we have sunglasses Peter Safranthe film producer and co-head of DC.
• With saffron in his arms Skyler Gisondo the Jimmy Olsenphotographer and best friend of Clark Kent.
• We then see the edge in yellow Anthony Carriganwho became a superhero Metamorphosis is becoming.
• For him, the new one protects herself from the blinding sun with her hand Lois Laan Rachel Brosnahan.
• Standing by her side Isabela Mercedwho became a superhero Hawkgirl is becoming.
• In the middle we have the director, screenwriter and DC co-head James Gunn.
• His buddy is standing next to him Nathan Fillionwho is not only responsible for taking selfies, but also for “Green Lantern” Guy Gardner is becoming.
• And then Fillion closes Maria Gabriela de Fariaas The mechanic the mean side becomes stronger, the group image becomes smaller.

By the way, Milly Alcock was not present at the table, so she is clearly missing from the photo. The “House Of The Dragon” actress was recently confirmed as the new Supergirl. Even though she only makes her big appearance with her own movie, ‘Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow’, she is already expected to appear in ‘Superman: Legacy’.

James Gunn’s new Superman film aims to usher in the new era at DC: the DCU – a finally coherent and fully planned universe with complementary and expansive stories. theatrical release of “Superman: Legacy“is on July 10, 2025.
