Pom Klementieff and Miriam Shor are the latest to join the growing cast of James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy.
The Man of Steel feature is due to be the kickoff for the much ballyhooed DC Studios slate when it hits theaters in July 2025 and has been casting up furiously since the end of the actors strike in November.
Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio and Sean Gunn are among those who have joined in recent weeks, with Nicholas Hoult, who’ll be playing villain Lex Luthor, being officially announced as having his deal done by Gunn on Instagram Monday.
David Corenswet is starring as Clark Kent/Superman while Rachel Brosnahan is playing intrepid reporter Lois Lane. Anthony Carrigan, Isabel Merced, and Nathan Fillion are also in the cast as heroes Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, respectively.
Details of Klementieff and Shor’s roles are being kept in the Fortress of Solitude. DC declined to comment.
Both, however, are part of the Gunn family. Klementieff became a scene-stealing breakout when she played alien empath Mantis in Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies and also had a cameo in the filmmaker’s 2021 DC movie The Suicide Squad. Shor, meanwhile, played a henchwoman known as Recorder Vim in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Klementieff was last seen trying to kill Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. She is repped by CAA, Linden Entertainment, Two Management, and Goodman Genow.
Shor has an enviable awards season ahead of her as she co-stars in both Maestro, Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic from Netflix, and American Fiction, the satire from Cord Jefferson that won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. She is repped by Gersh, Impression Entertainment, and Schreck Rose.
