Deadly Class actor María Gabriela De Faría has joined the cast of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film Superman: Legacy. The movie is still currently scheduled to be released on July 11, 2025.

Deadline broke the news of her casting, and they have revealed that she is playing “The Engineer” from the DC/Wildstorm comic book series The Authority. Her character’s powers stem from nanotechnology that’s built into her body.

Superman: Legacy also will star David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho.

Below, you can see an interview that we did with María Gabriela De Faría to promote Deadly Class from a few years ago.

“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”).

The New Superman Movie Shoots A Super Cameo

Someone with extensive Superman ties has apparently filmed a cameo for James Gunn’s new film.

Filming is underway on the new Superman film from James Gunn in Cleveland, Ohio — if you’ve been following @KryptonSite on Twitter/X, you’ve likely seen a lot of photos from the shooting — and today, news broke that someone quite super has apparently visited the set and filmed a cameo.

Will Reeve is a correspondent for Good Morning America but his biggest relevance to Superman fans is that he is the 32-year-old son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve. Christopher Reeve, of course, is the iconic actor who starred as Clark Kent and Superman in four films. From set photos, it appears that he filmed a cameo as a reporter in the movie.. a reporter in a Superman project… just like his Super dad.

Christopher Reeve died in October 2004. In 1995, he had a tragic horseback riding accident that resulted in paralysis. Despite these challenges, Reeve powered ahead and had hope — a lesson we could all learn from Superman. You can see some photo evidence of Will’s visit below. And of course, now we are going to wonder what other cameos we have to look forward to in the film. The Reeve franchise’s Jimmy Olsen, Marc McClure, is still with us, after all, as is Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) though he is retired from acting. James Gunn also happens to be friends with history’s most beloved Lex Luthor actor (Michael Rosenbaum) so really, anything is possible!
