In an exciting development for both Kenyan cinema and the DC Universe, talented actor Edi Gathegi has been cast in the highly anticipated Superman Legacy film.

Gathegi will take on the role of Mister Terrific, a beloved superhero with a rich history in the comic books.

Edi Gathegi joins a star-studded cast that includes David Corenswet as Clark Kent (Superman) and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

The film, written and directed by James Gunn, promises to breathe new life into the iconic Superman franchise.

Gathegi's journey in the entertainment industry has been nothing short of remarkable.

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, on March 10, 1979, Gathegi later moved to Albany, California, where he discovered his passion for acting.

He made his professional film debut in 2006's Crank and went on to appear in notable projects such as Lincoln Heights, Veronica Mars, Gone Baby Gone, and House.

However, it was his role as the vampire Laurent in the Twilight saga that propelled him into the spotlight and gained him international recognition.

Gathegi's impressive filmography also includes X-Men: First Class, where he portrayed Darwin, a mutant with the ability of "reactive evolution."

His versatility as an actor has allowed him to explore various genres and roles, showcasing his range and talent.

As Gathegi steps into the superhero realm once again, this time as Mister Terrific in Superman Legacy, he not only solidifies his position as a rising star but also proudly represents his Kenyan roots on an international platform.

His inclusion in the DC cinematic universe is a testament to the growing recognition of African talent and the diversity it brings to mainstream entertainment.

With the release of Superman Legacy slated for 2025, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing Gathegi's portrayal of Mister Terrific.

As the Kenyan actor prepares to join forces with the likes of David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced, he waves the Kenyan flag high, demonstrating that talent knows no boundaries and celebrating the success of African representation in the global entertainment industry.
