Henry Cavill’s final departure was devastating news for all of DC fandom. His successor has been in place for a few weeks: David Corenswet. To speak of euphoria about the new Superman actor would be presumptuous. But there’s life back in the character that DC boss James Gunn himself wants to bring to the big screen in Superman: Legacy.
With Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, David Corenswet’s most important partner has already been determined. The rest of the cast is gradually banding together as well. With a little surprise: Nathan Fillion is there.
What role does The Rookie star Nathan Fillion play alongside David Corenswet?
Nathan Fillion is hitting a new career high with The Rookie. It is his third extremely popular series after Castle and Firefly. Fillion plays an older police officer who has to hold his own against significantly younger colleagues in the LAPD’s training program.

Due to his enormous popularity, blockbuster movies regularly rely on Fillion’s charisma. In Superman: Legacy, Fillion will embody the hero Green Lantern, reports Vanity Fair. Even if not the Green Lantern, as played by Ryan Reynolds. Fillion embodies the character Guy Gardner, who is a member of the so-called Green Lantern Corps.
Nathan Fillion becomes a permanent guest in the DC Universe
Fillion has a longer history with James Gunn: He was in Gunn’s works Slither and Guardians of the Galaxy 1 to 3. And in The Suicide Squad, also by James Gunn. In the brutal carnage he plays the character TDK Spoiler: He dies in the first few minutes.

Fillion’s appearance in Superman: Legacy could also be rather brief in the tradition of these cameos. And it shows James Gunn taking his usual liberties in the DC Universe. A good sign.
When will Superman: Legacy be released?
Superman: Legacy will probably not be released until 2025. Unfortunately, with a strike going on in Hollywood and another expected, forecasts are difficult to make.
