[change | change source](L–R) David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan (pictured during filming in 2024) star in SupermanDavid Corenswet as Clark KentC /Superman:
- A Kryptonian survivor and a young journalist for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. Director James Gunn said the film's version of Superman would be around 25 years old, making him more established than Tom Welling's version from the series Smallville(2001–2011) but younger than Henry Cavill's DC Extended Universe (DCEU) version. Producer Peter Safran described the film's version of Superman as "the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way; he's kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned".
- Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane: A reporter for the Daily Planet and a close colleague of Clark. Brosnahan Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard: A Daily Planet reporter[23] •Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant: A Daily Planet columnist •Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe: A Daily Planet reporter Additionally, Frank Grillo reprises his role as Rick Flag Sr. from the animated DCU series Creature Commandos (2024).[25] Gunn's brother Sean is expected to appear as the businessman Maxwell Lord,[26][27] as is Milly Alcock as Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El / Supergirl.[28][29] Will Reeve, the son of former Superman actor Christopher Reeve, is set to make a cameo appearance in the film as a news reporter.[30] Lane as "fiercely intelligent" and feisty.
- Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl:
- Lantern: An abrasive galactic peacekeeper in the Green Lantern Corps. The film retains the character's "iconic bowl cut haircut" from the comics. Fillion previously portrayed Cory Pitzner / T.D.K. (The Detachable Kid) in Gunn's DCEU film The Suicide Squad (2021).
- Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason / Metamorpho: An archaeologist and superhero who can "transmute elements in his body into various forms". Carrigan said it was refreshing to play a superhero after previously portraying the Batman villain Victor Zsasz in the television series Gotham (2014–2019). He felt that he could bring some "authenticity and truth" to the role by comparing Metamorpho's concerns about his abilities to Carrigan's own alopecia.
