In an exciting new development, Alan Tudyk has reportedly been cast in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film. Details about Tudyk’s specific role are still under wraps. Gunn, who co-wrote and is producing the movie, recently finished principal photography.
Tudyk has experience in both live-action and voice roles. He has lent his talents to several DC animated shows, such as Doctor Phosphorus in Gunn’s Creature Commandos and Clayface in Harley Quinn. Tudyk and Gunn also worked together previously on the web series Con Man.
David Corenswet will take on the role of Clark Kent and his famous superhero alter ego. Rachel Brosnahan was cast as Lois Lane. Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor, and Skyler Gisondo portrays Jimmy Olsen. Nathan Fillion was chosen for Guy Gardner, and Wendell Pierce will play Daily Planet editor Perry White.
With its star-packed lineup and Gunn at the helm, anticipation is high for the new Superman film. Gunn is known for putting unique spins on comic book properties. The movie will explore Clark reconciling his Kryptonian and human identities. It is expected to be a pivotal part of the rebooted DC film universe under Gunn and producer Peter Safran’s guidance.
While specifics of Tudyk’s role remain secret, fans of both the actor and the Superman franchise are excited. As the July 2025 release date approaches, more details are likely to emerge about Tudyk’s part and the film overall. Warner Bros. and DC have stayed mum so far on Tudyk’s casting to maintain an air of mystery around the highly anticipated project.
