David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are your next Superman and Lois Lane. The news came down that the duo had been cast to play the iconic couple in Superman: Legacy, which is expected out in the summer of 2025.
But fans were also talking about Nicholas Hoult and Emma Mackey being passed up for the roles as well.
Twitter was mostly cruel to Hoult, who reportedly had also been up for Batman as well. The Emmy nominated star of “The Great” however didn’t find any sympathy for not getting the gig.

Both are already more successful than you and I are. They’ll be just fine.
The real “Kryptonite” will be Superhero movie fatigue, which was evident with The Flash’s recent box office numbers and the decline among enthusiasm on the Marvel side as well.
