James Gunn's Metahuman Arrive In New Superman Character Posters

James Gunn has released six character posters that usher in the arrival of the DCU’s metahumans this summer in Superman.

The posters feature David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, Krypto the Super Dog, Robot #4 who is voiced by Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl.

Update: Gunn unleashes the bad guys starting with Metamorpho, played by Anthony Carrigan. Lex Luthor is next, played by Nicholas Hoult, with Maria Gabriela de Faria as The Engineer. Posters also include Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. and Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher.

James Gunn responded on Threads to a fan questioning what a metahuman is: “‘In DC Comics, a metahuman is a human-like being with extraordinary, often paranormal, abilities. These powers can arise from a variety of sources, including science, magic, alien origins, mutation, divinity, proficiency, or technology.'” Therefore 4 is probably not a metahuman but Terrific arguably is. Krypto is meta but I won’t say he’s not human because he might read this,” said Gunn.
