Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald will play the DC fan-favorites.
Superman‘s Daily Planet is continuing to grow. On Friday, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald are officially part of the cast of James Gunn’s Superman movie, which is currently filming for a 2025 release date. Hoover, who has collaborated with Gunn on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Suicide Squad, has been cast as Daily Planet gossip columnist Cat Grant. McDonald (not to be confused with the Happy Gilmore and Hacks star of the same name), who is a newcomer to the screen, will portray Daily Planet reporter Ron Troupe.
These castings arrive after Saturday Night Live alum Beck Bennett was confirmed earlier this week to be playing Steve Lombard, another reporter at the film’s in-universe newspaper.
