Clark Kent / Superman (David Corenswet) emerges as a seasoned hero caught in a geopolitical maelstrom after intervening to stop Boravia’s invasion of Jarhanpur. Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) exploits public fear to discredit him, trapping Superman in a pocket-dimension prison and revealing a shocking message from his Kryptonian parents about his destiny. With the help of Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Krypto, and unlikely allies like Mister Terrific and Hawkgirl, he battles a cloned version of himself and a greater conspiracy to restore trust in his mission and define his place in the world.
