The director of Guardians of the Galaxy shared a photo on Instagram with the actors of the upcoming Warner Bros. film, right after their first table read. The post has gone viral, as fans are eager to see what the reboot of Man of Steel will be like.
The photo features David Corenswet, who will play the iconic role of Superman/Clark Kent, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, who will portray his love interest Lois Lane. The two will face off against the evil genius Lex Luthor, played by Nicolas Hoult, who is best known for his role as Beast in the X-Men franchise.

The cast is completed by Nathan Fillion, who will play the fan-favorite character of Guy Gardner, a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
James Gunn captioned the photo, “After the table read with the #Superman cast. Eve, Mr. Terrific, Superman/Clark, Otis, Lex, producer Peter Safran, Jimmy, Metamorpho, Lois, Hawkgirl, me, Guy, The Engineer all together for the first time! What a wonderful day.”
