In a surprising twist, Bradley Cooper will take on the role of Jor-El, Superman's Kryptonian father. Cooper, best known for his collaborations with Gunn in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, adds a fresh dynamic to the iconic character.
John Cena, known for his role as Peacemaker in the DC Extended Universe, makes a cameo appearance in the film, connecting this Superman story to the larger DC cosmos. Cena's brief yet impactful performance hints at the potential for a crossover between the two series.
Sean Gunn, James Gunn's brother, appears as Maxwell Lord, a news figure who plays a pivotal role in the DC Universe. Gunn's cameo is a nod to his portrayal by Pedro Pascal in "Wonder Woman 1984," further linking the DC films together.
Milly Alcock, who plays Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) in the upcoming "Supergirl" film, makes an appearance in the "Superman" movie. Her character's connection to Krypto, Supergirl's dog, sets the stage for the continuity between the two films and establishes a backstory for her character's behavior.
Other notable cameos include Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Superman's pal and Daily Planet photojournalist; Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, both with connections to the wider DC character base; Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, indicating the inclusion of several iconic DC heroes.
The film also pays tribute to the late Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in four films between 1978 and 1987, with a cameo that honours his legacy.
Will Reeve, age 33, makes a brief appearance as a TV reporter for the fictional GBS News. Reeve, who works as a TV reporter for ABC News and "Good Morning America" in real life, adds an authentic touch to the film's journalistic world.
With these cameos and key roles, James Gunn's "Superman" film promises to link Superman to a broader roster of DC characters and set up future storylines within his vision for the DC Universe. The film is set to release in theaters within a year, and the second season of "Peacemaker," starring John Cena, will start on HBO and its streaming service HBO Max in August.
