Superman Interview: Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, Skyler Gisondo & Wendell Pierce
389On July 11th, Superman kicks off the new DC Universe. Spearheaded by writer-director and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, Superman is the first major release in the new era of heroes at the studio, and will arrive in theaters with sky-high expectations. The new film’s Man of Steel is David Corenswet, while Rachel Brosnahan portrays his whip-smart journalist love interest, Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult steps into the shoes of his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor.
Joining Brosnahan at the Daily Planet is a supporting cast that chronicles the beating heart of Metropolis, including Skyler Gisondo as "Superman's Pal," Jimmy Olsen, and Wendell Pierce as the commanding editor-in-chief, Perry White. Rounding out the Daily Planet team are Mikaela Hoover as gossip columnist Cat Grant, and Saturday Night Live alumni Beck Bennett as the smug and cocky sports reporter Steve Lombard.
In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Bennett, Gisondo, Hoover, and Pierce discuss how modern journalism influenced their classic Superman characters. They also share production design Easter eggs, hinting that their desk decorations may reveal insights into their characters' personalities.
