Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

I posted the casting announcement in the Zack Snyder will direct Superman thread, but maybe an official thread for Superman until it's release, which is a ways off, is in order.

so here goes Superman will now be played by:

<drumroll please>


Henry Cavill!

Yummy!

As I said in the other thread, Cavill was attached to play Superman when McG was going to direct.

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

Yeah, I remember his name being tossed around back then and other than Stardust, not familiar with his work. He certainly brings a level of sophistication to the part from the looks of it.

Awesome, loved him in the Tudors.

All those Brits, taking our damn superheroes!

It's payback for American actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Renee Zellweger, and Anne Hathaway nicking famous British parts. :)

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

Welsh Batman, British Superman, Australian Wolverine & Thor, Canadian Green Lantern, well at least we still have Captain America, Iron Man & Hulk.

Isn't Gwyneth Paltrow welsh???

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

That wasn't even filmed in America! :brickwall:

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

No, she's American. She was born in Los Angeles.

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

Oh yeah British Spider-Man too.

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

I hadn't heard this until I logged into this thread (congrats on starting one Obi-Wan). Good choice, from what I've seen of him. I do feel a little sorry for Brandon Routh but Cavill was also in the running before (as well as for 007), so at least his disappointment in the past has now been made up for.

Re: Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)
 

Sorry, Mr. Routh. I was rooting for you.
