My Adventures with Superman cast: Voice actors & characters
Below, we’ve listed all the characters in the voice cast of My Adventures of Superman. We’ll update this list if there’s any surprise appearances or cameos.
The official synopsis reads: “In this serialized coming-of-age story, we follow Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane.”
Furthermore, a second season of the show has already been greenlit, as confirmed by Jake Wyatt on Twitter.
Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman: Jack Quaid
Adult Swim/Prime VideoJack Quaid plays Superman, aka Clark Kent, or to the Kryptonians out there, Kal-El.
He told Collider: “I think it’s a version of Superman that we haven’t really seen before. I love that he’s new to his powers as well. There’s still certain powers that he’s discovering like he doesn’t really know that he has. And it’s just been such a great experience that I consider just such a gift, you know, I still can’t believe that I’m involved, and I think the show is wonderful.”

Lois Lane: Alice Lee
Adult Swim/NBCAlice Lee plays Lois Lane, an aspiring investigative reporter who falls in love with Clark Kent.
When asked how she wanted her iteration of the character to stand out, Lee told Screen Rant: “I guess whatever it was, I wanted to bring my own flavor, whatever my version was. The show itself is such a different tone than what I’ve seen before with Superman. And so that in itself informed the way I was going to do Lois Lane. Really trusting the process, trusting the creators, and trusting that whatever I was doing was what they wanted for the show. I think just bringing Alice into Lois Lane and doing her justice.”

Jimmy Olsen: Ishmel Sahid
