Editing Superman (2025) (section)

== Cast ==
* [[David Corenswet]] as [[Superman (character)|Clark Kent / 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 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 Kent. Brosnahan described Lane as "fiercely intelligent" and feisty.
* [[Isabela Merced]] as Hawkgirl, a superhero with wings and various melee weapons. Merced's short 5 feet 1 inch (1.55 m) height differentiates her from other DCU heroes. Merced felt that her role as Anya Corazon / Araña in the [[Spider-Man (film series)|Sony's Spider-Man Universe]] (SSU) film ''[[Madame Web]]'' (2024) helped prepare her to play Hawkgirl, though she didn't tell the ''Superman'' filmmakers about that role in case she would not be able to play both.
* [[Edi Gathegi]] as Michael Holt / Mister Terrific, a superhero and inventor.
* [[Nathan Fillion]] as Guy Gardner / Green 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.
* [[María Gabriela de Faría]] as Angela Spica / The Engineer, a member of the Authority whose abilities come from nanotechnology built in her body.
* [[Sara Sampaio]] as Eve Teschmacher, Lex Luthor's assistant and love interest.
* [[Skyler Gisondo]] as Jimmy Olsen, a boyish young photographer for the Daily Planet and a colleague of Clark Kent.
* [[Nicholas Hoult]] as Lex Luthor, a businessman and the arch-nemesis of Superman
* [[Terence Rosemore]] as Otis, Luthor's henchman.
* [[Wendell Pierce]] as Perry White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet. Pierce asked his friends for information on the character because he did not read comic books growing up.
* [[Pruitt Taylor Vince]] as Jonathan Kent, Clark's adoptive human father.
* [[Neva Howell]] as Martha Kent, Clark's adoptive human mother.
* [[Beck Bennett]] as Steve Lombard, a Daily Planet reporter.
* [[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). Gunn's brother [[Sean Gunn|Sean]] is expected to appear as the businessman Maxwell Lord, as is [[Milly Alcock]] as Superman's cousin [[Supergirl (character)|Kara Zor-El / Supergirl]]. ABC News correspondent [[Will Reeve]], the son of former Superman actor [[Christopher Reeve]], is set to make a cameo appearance in the film as a news reporter.
