Edi Gathegi’s Transformation as Mister Terrific Has Left Fans Intrigued for His DCU Debut
Being trained by famous Hollywood trainer Paolo Mascitti, who is also behindDavid Corenswet‘s physique forSuperman: Legacy, Edi Gathegi has pulled in huge muscles for his upcoming role. While actors getting jacked for CBMs is pretty unanimous, as most expect them to get as close to their comic book counterparts as possible, Gathegi’s transformation is more notable for one reason. Considering theAporiastar is known for maintaining a slender build, seeing him this jacked has reasonably had fans intrigued for his eventual DCU debut, which will hit the big screens next year.

With the production onSuperman: Legacyset to kickstart next week, Studio head David Zaslav stressed that he is optimistic about it. Even though things have been tough for WBD last year, despiteBarbie‘s monumental success, following the line-up they had for the next two years, David Zaslav is optimistic that things will turn around soon.
