Is Superman cast?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Garth from Darkhorizons just posted the following:


"About three weeks ago some casting sessions took place in London's SoHo area for a movie called Justice League. I didn't know what it was until I saw the character list later. I would have figured it out earlier but with a movie like that one they don't let them actually read from the proper script until they're officially cast.

Anyway after going through a whole bunch of British actors, I heard today that one of them has been cast as Superman. Anyway, the guy everyone is talking about is called Rupert Evans."

The 30-year-old baby-faced British thesp is best remembered as rookie agent John Myers in Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of the comic "Hellboy" in 2004. His other credits include "Guantanamero", TV movies "North & South" and "Fingersmith," and guest spots on sitcom "My Family" and sci-fi series "Lexx".

i was thinking about making one but i dont really know how.

I actually kind of like that choice. Eh, on second though... Not so much.

People are going to complain to no end about his height though. Just wait.

 

[Zing79]

No
That is all that needs to be said. It's such a bad obvious choice it shouldn't need dissecting.

 

[04nbod]

he's ugly!

 

[Banshee]

I'm going to complain about his outright lack of presence. Look I'm not one to pitch a fit over who is and who isn't cast in a superhero movie, but I can't see this at all. What the hell was wrong with Routh?

Agreed.

He's ugly and I don't know what the writer of the article was smoking but that guy is not baby faced.

As for his acting, from what I've seen him in, he's meh, borderline boring.

On behalf of the Guard... Still a rumor folks

 

[I Am The Knight]

How long before IESB says this info is incorrect?

 

[Manosman]

rob has posted on the boards about it over at iesb, but i think he is saying there is no way its true....

 

[Majik1387]

But this guy isn't good looking.

 

[JP]

How long before IESB says this info is incorrect?

Soon, but first they need to tell us it's correct. Not just correct. 100% correct.

 

[JP]

But this guy isn't good looking.

Again, I've never seen a good looking Supes.

Though I think this guys cute.
