Saturday Night Live veteran Beck Bennett has joined the cast of James Gunn’s inaugural DC Studios movie, Superman.
The feature is currently in production in Atlanta with David Corenswet starring as Clark Kent/Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan playing Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as villain Lex Luthor.
The movie will feature classic members of Superman’s supporting characters, such as Jimmy Olsen being played by Skyler Gisondo, Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio) and Daily Planet editor in chief Perry White (Wendell Pierce).
It will also feature a variety of DC heroes. Edi Gathegi is playing Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan is Metamorpho, Isabela Merced is Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion is Guy Gardner and María Gabriela de Faría is playing The Engineer.
Sources say that Bennett will play one of the notable reporters at the Daily Planet. DC Studios had no comment.
Bennett spent eight seasons on SNL, joining the show in 2013 before finally exiting in 2021. He has done plenty of voicework, most recently notching 2023’s Nimona and Disney Channel’s Random Things on his resume. He was last seen making an appearance in Unfrosted, the star-studded and actor-packed Netflix comedy co-written, directed and starring Jerry Seinfeld.
Superman hits theaters July 11, 2025.
