Warner Bros. is launching production on Superman: Legacy, and to celebrate, director/co-head of DC Studios James Gunn recently shared a photo on Instagram of the cast having a good time and staring directly into the sun. Gunn captioned the photo with clockwise character names, specifically: Eve, Mr. Terrific, Superman/Clark, Otis, Lex, Jimmy, Metamorpho, Lois, Hawkgirl, Guy, and The Engineer, plus him and co-DC Studios boss Peter Safran. That’s a lot of names, and seeing as how Gunn’s digging pretty deep into DC lore for this film—which will be the official launch of his new DC universe—we thought it would be helpful to break down who the heck these people are and who they’re playing.

One person you won’t see in this photo, though, is House Of The Dragon’s Milly Alcock. She was just cast as the new DC universe’s Supergirl, and while she will reportedly make an appearance in something soonish, she won’t make her proper debut until the Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow solo movie (coming at some point in the future).

In the order that Gunn named them, here’s who’s who in the Superman: Legacy cast photo.
