‘Superman: Legacy’: Miriam Shor Joining James Gunn’s Man of Steel Movie (Exclusive)

Miriam Shor is in early talks to become 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 James Gunn officially announcing Nicholas Hoult, who’ll be playing villain Lex Luthor, as having his deal done on Instagram on 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 Shor’s roles are being kept in the Fortress of Solitude. She is a Gunn alum, playing a henchwoman known as Recorder Vim in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

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.

A previous version of this story stated that Pom Klementieff had been cast in Superman: Legacy, but after its initial publication, Gunn wrote in a post on Threads that this was incorrect. The post has been updated to remove references to Klementieff in the headline, photo and story.
