James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman: Legacy is set to soar into theaters in July 2025. As excitement builds for this pivotal addition to the new DC Universe, one of the film’s stars is stepping into the spotlight early, showcasing their general knowledge skills on Celebrity Jeopardy Season 3.
The stakes are high for Superman: Legacy, the first major film in Gunn and Peter Safran’s rebooted DC Universe. Following the commercial and critical disappointments of The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Joker: Folie à Deux, this fresh start aims to breathe new life into the DCU. While fans of Henry Cavill are still mourning his departure as Superman, the choice of David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel has been met with intrigue, with many noting his resemblance to a younger Cavill. Joining him is Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, whose casting has been celebrated by fans and critics alike.
Brosnahan, best known for her award-winning role as Midge Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, brings her talent and charisma to the iconic role of Lois. Before audiences see her on the big screen, however, she’s set to test her trivia prowess on Celebrity Jeopardy. According to Entertainment Weekly, Brosnahan will appear on the upcoming Season 3, set to premiere in January 2025.
Brosnahan isn’t the only Superman: Legacy star competing on the quiz show. Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord and other characters in the DCU, will also take the stage. The competition promises to be entertaining, as both actors aim to win the coveted $1 million prize for a charity of their choice. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if either of them claims victory or if another celebrity takes home the grand prize.
As buzz around the film grows, Brosnahan has shared some insights into the project. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight in January 2024, she described the film as a heartfelt and optimistic take on the beloved superhero. “I’ve really enjoyed collaborating with James Gunn,” she said. “Everyone involved in this production is such a Superman nerd. We all grew up watching the movies or reading the comics, and the love for the character shines through. Plus, this Superman will have a sense of humor, which I think fans will appreciate.”
The excitement surrounding Superman: Legacy is palpable, as fans hope it will deliver on its promises and lay a strong foundation for a successful DC Universe. If Gunn and his team succeed, the film could mark a new beginning for DC, offering a worthy rival to Marvel’s cinematic dominance.
In the meantime, audiences can catch Brosnahan and Gunn on Celebrity Jeopardy in January 2025. Who knows? They might even drop some behind-the-scenes tidbits about the movie. Until then, the anticipation for Superman: Legacy continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting its hopeful and humor-filled take on the iconic superhero.
