Superman: Legacy promises a fresh and emotional take on the superhero we all know and love. The story will follow a young Clark Kent as he starts his career as a reporter in Metropolis. At the same time, he’s trying to figure out how to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The film isn’t just about Superman, though, it features plenty of other DC characters too! Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, played by Milly Alcock, will be joining the story, along with heroes like Mr. Terrific, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl. Even fan-favorites like Jimmy Olsen and Eve Teschmacher will make an appearance. With a mix of heartfelt storytelling and action-packed moments, 'Superman: Legacy' is turning out to be a huge step forward for the DC Universe. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025, but luckily fans won’t have to wait long to get their first sneak peek!
