Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)

Summer Glau? Seriously? :barf:

She has the voice of a 12 year old.

And she's not that good of an actor.

Thankfully, it's not going to be her. She won't even get close to being cast.
 
I rather doubt the British Superman will speak with a British accent. After all, most of the non-American actors who've played American superhero icons altered their accents to sound like generic Americans. I expect the same will be true of this new Superman. I just hope they have a good script which doesn't include Lex Luthor. I really hope the villain is Darkseid or even Brainiac.
 
Summer Glau is great with Quirky, not quite right in the head roles, not so much with straight forward, mentally normal roles.
 
Rachel McAdams would probably give the role the much needed spunk it would necessitate (something Kate Bosworth sorely lacked).

She didn't get many opportunities to show it, but I thought Bosworth displayed plenty of spunk in the early scenes on the plane and in Perry's office. Unfortunately I think most people just have a hard time seeing anything past her young appearance.

I would DEFINITELY love to see McAdams in the role though. She can be tough when she wants to, she's about the right age, and she's cute as all hell.
 
I know this may be a long shot but I would love to see Lizzy Caplan (Cloverfield, Mean Girls) get the job as Lois Lane.
