Is Jacob Elordi the new Superman for DC movie?

Despite announcing Henry Cavill’s return as Superman in Black Adam’s end-credits scene, the Man of Steel makers revealed in December that Cavill’s time as Superman was officially over.

However, Instead, DC Studios co-head James Gunn is writing a Superman reboot that will focus on a younger version of Kal-El/Clark Kent. Now, it was recently reported that Euphoria star Jacob Elordi has been selected to play the next Superman.

While Elordi certainly fits the ‘younger’ Superman bill since he’s 25 , James Gunn said on Twitter he isn’t anywhere close to casting the popular DC superhero since the reboot’s script isn’t finished. He explained: “My thoughts are no one has been cast as Superman yet.”

My thoughts are no one has been cast as Superman yet. Casting, as is almost always the case with me, will happen after the script is finished or close to finished, and it isn’t. We’ll announce a few things in not too long, but the casting of Superman won’t be one of them. 🧜‍♂️ https://t.co/2SGWV2RSI7

Let’s see who will succeed Henry Cavill as the next cinematic Superman since Gunn isn’t anywhere close to finishing the reboot script. Jacob Elordi could or could not be considered a candidate at some point, but until Gunn is finished putting his Superman story together, we can’t say much.
