Ahead of the release of the highly anticipated Superman trailer, Wendell Pierce, who is slated to play Clark Kent /Superman and Lois Lane's boss, Perry White, shared a behind the scenes shot of himself in character. Superman also stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardener/Green Lantern, and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, among others. The image of Perry, which Pierce shared to X, is the first fans have been shown of the DCU iteration of the Daily Planet editor-in-chief.
Pierce captioned the snapshot, "Here’s a scoop! Superman trailer release in a few hours!," teasing the character's profession as a journalist. In the photo, the actor is smoking a cigar in front of a Daily Planet-branded globe. He's sporting a classic Perry White look with a sweater vest and tie.
Little new information is provided from this sneak peek of his character, but Pierce certainly looks the part of Superman's tough-yet-fair boss, especially with a cigar in hand. The former The Wire star joins a solid lineup of actors to play the part, with previous films casting Jackie Cooper, Frank Langella, and Laurence Fishburne in the role.
