What it means for the “Superman Saga”

Returning cast and first look details

David Corenswet will reprise Clark Kent, and Nicholas Hoult will return as Lex Luthor. The shared artwork features Superman alongside a depiction of Lex in his classic armored look, signaling Luthor’s ongoing presence in the story world. 

What is not announced

Plot specifics, additional casting, and production start have not been detailed at this time. Today’s update was limited to the title, date, and the indication that the story continues within the current Superman continuity.
