The Emmy-winning actor, known for his roles in Constantine, House, and Murder One, will step into the shoes of Jonathan Kent, Superman's adoptive father on Earth, in the 2025 reboot from Warner Bros./DC Studios.
Vince's journey to acting started unexpectedly. According to his IMDb profile, a high school computer glitch landed him in a drama class by mistake, and the rest is screen history.
He will be part of a star-studded cast featuring Rachel Brosnahan, acclaimed for her performance in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, who will portray Lois Lane. Edi Gathegi, known for his role as Laurent in Twilight and Twilight: New Moon, will take on the character of Mr. Terrific.
David Corenswet, who recently appeared in the 2024 action/thriller Twisters, is set to star as Superman.
For Shreveport theater fans, it's a full-circle moment, watching one of their own take the national stage in one of the most iconic roles in superhero storytelling.
The movie is set to hit theaters July 11.
