Not sure where Cavill is mentioned more. In here or Twitter Can't we all just get along lol.

Definitely still Twitter. If I have to scroll by one more “Wal-Mart Cavill” or “Temu Cavill” or “Wish Cavill” comment, I swear to Zeus….

David is going to be great, no need to worry! But I'm both extremely happy with both Henry and David as Supermen so I'm in an equalizing spot lol.

Josh Hartnett Rejected Superman Twice and Left Hollywood Once ‘People Were Stalking Me’: ‘A Guy Showed Up at One of My Premieres With a Gun’

Josh Hartnett left Hollywood after several encounters with stalkers.

He also refused to test for Batman Begins. He talked about it long ago about bald Nolan not even seeing his way for The Prestige, which he really wanted to do. Tis’ a reason he was so hyped and happy to be part of Oppenheimer, as he didn’t think he’d get another chance to work with Nolan.

 

[Invader Joker]

The funny thing is about how talked about that Hartnett Batman story is I do not think that even if he had agreed to test he'd have won over Christian Bale.

Hartnett is from my town and is one of the nicest people ever so I will not let you all besmirch him!!

Hartnett was the bomb in 30 Days of Night, yo.

I remember Hartnett's name being floated about for Doctor Doom a little while ago. That would have been an interesting choice.

Probably at least would've gone better than the choice we got.

 

[Nemeres]

Out of the Superman options for the 2003-2004 film that never happened, Hartnett and Bomer are my favorites. I think he would've been solid and would've probably kept that version of the project alive, given that failure to cast a star was supposedly part of the reason the directors dropped out.

 

[dhandler01]

Bomer was one of my big fancasts!

Yeah but he's gay so Hollywood was like ew. And now it's okay.

Are you sure? I was big on the Bomer train back then, too. And I’d be cool with casting another gay actor today. But I don’t know if Americans are collectively ready for that.

We’re still worried about the Supreme Court somehow reversing the gay marriage decision, and the electability of Buttigieg. We still see conservatives, at the national level, expressing concern about gay couples adopting children.

Unfortunately, if you’re trying to make money from 100% of your population and 50% of them are homophobic, it’s sadly a hard sell to cast a gay actor in such a prominent, hetero, sometimes-male-power-fantasy role.

Again, I have no problem with it. If he’s a good actor who looks the part, that’s all that matters to me. But I have a very low opinion of our public.

Absolutely

That would have been a WILD casting for sure.

The long wait for the first footage. At least we have Supergirl and possibly Lanterns casting/ filming coming up soon to look forward to while we wait.
