Edi Gathegi, who plays Mister Terrific in the new Superman movie, opens up about his journey into the DC Universe—from discovering the character through James Gunn’s social media to sharing intense workout sessions with the film’s lead, David Corenswet (the new Superman). Gathegi teases that his character’s post-credits scene isn’t just a throwaway moment but feels like a "promise" for bigger things to come in the DC franchise.

Editor’s Note: For DC fans, this is a hopeful sign that Mister Terrific—a fan-favorite but lesser-known hero—might have a larger role in the revamped DC Universe. Gathegi’s enthusiasm and Gunn’s clear investment in the character suggest a fresh, intentional direction for the franchise, which could mean more diverse and deep-cut heroes getting the spotlight. If you’re into superhero lore, this is a nod that DC’s future might be more ambitious than expected.
