James Gunn’s Superman Casts Cat Grant & Ron Troupe
James Gunn’s new Superman film has found its Cat Grant and Ron Troupe
The cast of James Gunn’s 2025 Superman film has grown with a few cool cats from the Daily Planet troupe.
Today, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the casting of Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant and Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe. Do note that the Christopher McDonald in question is a newcomer and not the white actor named Christopher McDonald you are thinking of. You can see a picture of him to your right.
Most people who read this site already know a lot about Cat Grant, whether it’s Calista Flockhart’s pitch-perfect performance as the gossip columnist on Supergirl, Tracy Scoggins’ sultry Cat on Lois & Clark, or even Keri Lynn Pratt’s incredibly annoying Smallville version. Cat Grant is also a fun part of the recent My Adventures with Superman cartoon. She first appeared in Adventures of Superman comics by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway. Mikaela Hoover has been seen in James Gunn’s productions before, with small roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad.
Ron Troupe is most famous in the comics for being married to Lucy Lane for a time. He’s mostly been seen in animation though we’ve seen him in a few minor live action spots. He, too, was co-created by Jerry Ordway with artist Tom Grummett.
This casting news comes days after SNL’s Beck Bennett was announced as playing sports guy Steve Lombard. Superman is currently filming, set to fly in theaters July 11, 2025.

“Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief ina the goodness of humankind.
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
The film stars David Corenswet (“Twisters,” “Hollywood”) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the “X-Men” movies, “Juror #2”) as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi (“For All Mankind”), Anthony Carrigan (“Barry,” “Gotham”), Nathan Fillion (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “The Suicide Squad”), Isabela Merced (“Alien Romulus”), Skyler Gisondo (“Licorice Pizza,” “Booksmart”), Sara Sampaio (“At Midnight”), María Gabriela de Faría (“The Moodys”), Wendell Pierce (“Selma,” “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”), Alan Tudyk (“Andor”), Pruitt Taylor Vince (“Bird Box”) and Neva Howell (“Greedy People”).
“Superman” is executive produced by Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars Winther. Behind the camera, Gunn is joined by frequent collaborators, including director of photography Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky and composer John Murphy, along with editors Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “Blue Beetle”), Jason Ballantine (the “IT” films, “The Flash”) and William Hoy (“The Batman”).
