First ‘Superman’ Set Photos Reveal María Gabriela de Faría as ‘The Engineer’

“Superman” is the most talked-about upcoming movie in the DCU, even though “Creature Commandos” will come out first. After lots of rumors and preparation, Gunn was thrilled to say that filming for “Superman” started on February 29th, which just happens to be Superman’s birthday. The movie still has a long way to go before it’s done, but we’re excited to share that the first photos from the set have surfaced.

Thanks to Just Jared, we got to see Maria De Faria in her role as the Engineer from these leaked photos.

The Engineer is a character from the Wildstorm Universe. She’s a scientist who replaced her blood with nine pints of nanotech, allowing her to make solid objects with it. It’ll be interesting to see how they show this in the movie. María Gabriela de Faría is playing the Engineer. De Faría began acting in Venezuelan soap operas and a kid’s show on RCTV.

She first appeared in movies with ‘El paseo 2’ with John Leguizamo in 2012 and then in her first English movie, ‘Crossing Point.’ She also worked on a P9 album in 2012 and was in ‘La virgen de la calle’ in 2013. De Faría was chosen for the role of Angelica Spica in Gunn’s ‘Superman’ in November last year.
