The film was directed by James Gunn ("Guardians of the Galaxy", "Suicide Squad: Mission Through"). The roles of Superman and Lois Lane were played by David Korensvet (Pearl, Hollywood) and Rachel Brosnahan (The Amazing Mrs. Maisel, Spy Games).

Superman's main rival, Lex Luthor, was embodied by Nicholas Hoult ("X-Men", "My Boy"), who also has the largest fee among the cast: $ 2 million, while the other two actors are content with more modest amounts of $750 thousand each.
