Comparisons between Superman: Legacy and the Cavill’s Superman will be inevitable, but one character can set the Superman reboot apart from the DCEU.
Superman: Legacy, DC Studios’ upcoming Superman movie reboot, is bound to be compared with the DCEU’s Superman series – but one character can set this new franchise apart from the previous one. The first DC Studios project announced by James Gunn, Superman: Legacy is set to premiere on July 11, 2025, bringing a new actor as the Man of Steel. Superman: Legacy won’t have any connections to Henry Cavill’s version of the character, and it will kick off the new DC Universe.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY By the time Superman: Legacy hit theaters, Henry Cavill’s final appearance as the Man of Steel during Black Adam’s post-credits scene will have been almost three years ago. Still, Cavill was the movie version of Superman for almost a decade, starting his run in the Zack Snyder-directed Man of Steel and reprising his role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Black Adam.
Given that Superman: Legacy will follow a younger Superman at an early stage of his career, the DCU Superman reboot is the perfect opportunity to incorporate the iconic photographer. According to James Gunn, Clark Kent will be working at the Daily Planet in Superman: Legacy, meaning that Superman’s supporting set of characters could include Jimmy Olsen.
Why Zack Snyder Didn’t Use Jimmy Olsen In The DCEU Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition introduces a character who goes by James Olsen right at the beginning of the film. That character, however, was not actually James Olsen – he was a CIA agent who used the Daily Planet’s credentials to perform an undercover mission.
The Snyderverse’s plan for Superman was very much a Justice League story involving Darkseid, Apokolips, and time travel. In other words, there would probably not be much time to follow Clark Kent at Metropolis working at the Daily Planet after the first Justice League film as the story would ask more for Superman than for Clark.
