Actress María Gabriela de Faría Joins the Cast of SUPERMAN: LEGACY; Will Play Villain Angela Spica aka The Engineer
Venezuelan actress María Gabriela de Faría (Animal Control, The Moodys) has joined the cast of James Gunn’s upcoming DC film, Superman: Legacy. She will take on the role of the villainous character Angela Spica, aka The Engineer. Part of the Warner/DC flick’s villain team, Angie’s powers stem from nanotechnology built into her body. Created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, she’s the second DC character to bear the name of The Engineer and was first introduced in The Authority vol.1 #1 in 1999.
Superman: Legacy will follow Superman as he looks to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned. Others in the ensemble, as previously announced, include David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho.
Gunn will be writing and directing the film, and he recently confirmed that the film will retain its release date of July 11, 2025, even after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
