Anthony Carrigan, known for his Emmy-nominated role in Barry, has opened up about his personal connection to the character of Metamorpho in James Gunn’s upcoming DC film, Superman Legacy. Carrigan, who suffers from alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss, revealed that when he lost his hair, he found solace in exploring bald superheroes and supervillains. He came across Metamorpho, a character with a giant hammer for a hand, and felt a kinship with him. Now, Carrigan is thrilled to join the cast of Superman Legacy alongside David Corenswet as Superman.
Carrigan shared that he can relate to Metamorpho’s reluctance and feeling like a “freak” after his transformation. His personal experience with alopecia will inform his portrayal of the character and add depth to his performance. The announcement of Carrigan’s casting received praise from Gunn, who expressed his excitement to work with the actor.
Metamorpho, also known as “the Element Man,” made his debut in 1965 and has been a part of various superhero teams, including the Outsiders and the Justice League International. Notable writers like Neil Gaiman have contributed to the character’s stories. Superman Legacy, set to release in 2025, has been generating buzz with its extensive casting announcements, including Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner.
Overall, Carrigan’s personal connection to the character and the unique story of Superman Legacy are sure to captivate audiences when the film hits theaters.
