Good actor, not a good fit imo. Too young. Did Jesse Eisenberg make a good Lex Luthor? Not in my opinion, too young as well. Looks like they’re going YA.

Like I mentioned in my post, good actor, too young for my taste. To me it seems Gunn and DC don’t really know the demographic they’re going after, I’m around 30 and I want the characters to be like Henry Cavill etc not YA. However I will watch the new DC films when they come out, I’ll reserve hope for them. However, I’m saying it now that I don’t think his vision is going to click.After seeing Nicholas Hoult in the 'The Great' TV series from Hulu I have full confidence in him playing a charismatic bad guy.
Yeah the main cast a tad on the younger side but I think they are hoping this DC reboot is good and they have the next 10 to 15 years with them.
They're making a DC universe so they need actors that will be able to grow with the characters for years to come.Like I mentioned in my post, good actor, too young for my taste.

Reasonable logic, however if this new DC doesn’t catch on, it won’t matter.They're making a DC universe so they need actors that will be able to grow with the characters for years to come.
40 year olds probably aren't the best bet for longevity.

James Gunn Reveals Superman: Legacy Now Simply Titled SUPERMAN
Gunn said on twitter is fake.
Also based on the official pic it seems the costume will keep the darker palette from the Snyder films and the symbol will have a yellow line around it.

Wendell Pierce Cast as Perry White in James Gunn's SUPERMAN
Great Caesar’s Ghost, Perry White has been found. Wendell Pierce, perhaps best known for his work as a detective on HBO’s seminal crime series The Wire, has been cast as the iconic editor-in-chief of The Daily Planet in James Gunn's Superman.
The new feature based on the DC Comics character began rolling in Atlanta on Thursday. It was previously titled Superman: Legacy.
David Corenswet is starring as Clark Kent/Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan playing Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as classic villain Lex Luthor.
The character of Perry White is a Man of Steel fixture, first introduced in a Superman radio serial in 1940. He is the boss of both Kent and Lane, and depending on the incarnation, can be a tough-as-nails boss, the harried-by-his-reporters boss, or a father-figure boss. The character has been played on the big screen by Jackie Cooper (in the Christopher Reeves movies), Frank Langella (in Bryan Singer’s take) and Laurence Fishburne (in the Snyderverse movies of the 2010s).
Rounding out Gunn’s cast is Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner) and María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer).
Pierce was most recently seen in the Amazon series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, where he played Clancy mainstay character James Greer. He also did a stint on Starz’s Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
