Superman: Legacy’s cast has grown a bit bigger, as the roles of Jimmy Olsen and Eve Teschmacher have been cast for the DC Studios movie. The film is set to release on July 11, 2025.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Skyler Gisondo will be playing Superman’s best friend Jimmy Olsen while Deadline has reported that Sara Sampaio will be playing Lex Luthor’s ally and assistant Eve Teschmacher.

Gisondo has played roles in movies like 2021’s Licorice Pizza and series like The Righteous Gemstones and Curb Your Enthusiasm, while Sampaio has appeared in films like 2021’s Crisis and the hit Showtime series Billions.

Having become part of the cast of Superman: Legacy, the duo join David Corenswet — who has the titular role of Clark Kent/Superman — Rachel Brosnahan — who is playing Lois Lane — and Nicholas Hoult, who is playing the villainous Lex Luthor. Further cast members include María Gabriela De Faría, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Edi Gathegi, and more.

What is Superman: Legacy about?

“Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
