Metropolis is about to welcome another superhero in the Highly Anticipated Film, “Superman: Legacy,” directed by James Gunn. Joining the star-studded cast, which includes Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific, is the shape-shifting hero, Metamorpho. The talented actor, Anthony Carrigan, known for his Emmy-nominated role in “Barry,” will bring this elemental character to life on the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed this exciting news.

Carrigan, fresh off his Emmy nomination, will play the role of Metamorpho in “Superman: Legacy,” a Film that sets the stage for Gunn’s new vision of the DC cinematic universe. He joins an impressive lineup that includes Nathan Fillion as the arrogant Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as the high-flying Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific. David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan take on the lead roles of Superman and Lois Lane. Gunn, both writer and director, is creating a highly anticipated film set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Metamorpho, created by Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon in 1965’s “The Brave and the Bold” #57, is an adventurer whose life takes a dramatic turn after being betrayed by his employer and exposed to a radioactive meteorite in an Egyptian pyramid. This transformation turns him into the powerful and unique Metamorpho, capable of altering his body into any element on the periodic table. While he hasn’t had his own standalone series, Metamorpho has made appearances in various DC comics and has been part of renowned superhero teams like the Justice League of America and Batman’s Outsiders.

This upcoming film marks Metamorpho’s first live-action portrayal, although he has appeared in several DC animated series, voiced by notable actors such as Tom Sizemore and Scott Menville. It’s interesting to note that Carrigan, known for his distinctive appearance caused by alopecia areata, has often been cast as villains. However, his breakout role as the empathetic gangster NoHo Hank in “Barry” has earned him multiple Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Actor. Carrigan will also be seen in the film “Adulthood” alongside Evan Rachel Wood and Josh Gad.

“Superman: Legacy” is scheduled to be released on July 11, 2025, so stay tuned to Collider for further updates on this exciting superhero film.
