James Gunnhas praised the “magic” between David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, the stars of his upcomingSupermanmovie, teasing the pair’s chemistry and performances.

“One year ago today David and Rachel screen-tested for Clark and Lois,” Gunn wrote onThreads. “When they first read together it was like magic. What a wonderful year it’s been with two of the most extraordinary, vibrant, and meticulous actors I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. I can’t wait for you to see them on screen in just a little over a year.”

Not much has been revealed about the plot of the film just yet, but we do know that it won’t be an origin story and will instead follow a young Clark Kent as a reporter at The Daily Planet, exploring how he balances his Kryptonian and human heritage.

Alongside Corenswet’s Superman and Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, the cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, and Skyler Gisondo as Clark’s Daily Planet colleague Jimmy Olsen. House of the Dragon starMilly Alcock will also make her first appearance as the DCU’s Supergirl.
