The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread - Part 1

[Eddie Dean]

I really like Melissa Leo as Martha Kent. That could be really good.

 

[verisimilitude]

Hey guys, now I know IMDB is pretty unreliable, but was just scanning, and saw this guy "Alex Phrescovia Williams" as "rumoured" to be in the movie, any idea who this is?

<V>

 

[Kal-El.9859]

no clue but a formspring account for them popped up when I googled them

 

[HighFivingMF]

Probably just someone trying to get views. But I asked the Formspring. Waiting for a reply.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

let us know

 

[HighFivingMF]

Will do. He's also attached himself to the When Worlds Collide remake, some Channing Tatum movie, and the Ouija Board movie. Seems like a lot of roles for someone who only had an Uncredited role in Valentine's Day. I'm 100% sure his casting is BS but the answer on Formspring should be entertaining if he was the one that gave himself all of those credits.

 

[jthom19802]

Lex - Timothy Olyphant

Lois - Sarah Shahi

Perry - Hugh Laurie

Martha Kent - Bonnie Bedillia

Jonathan - John Schneider (don't care.)

Jimmy - Jesse Eisenberg

 

[Kal-El.9859]

not really thrilled with the idea of Eisenberg as Jimmy or Andy Samberg for that matter either...I guess Eisenberg would be the lesser of two evils. Although Samberg was pretty funny in "I LoveYou, Man"

 

[DoomGeneration]

so here we go...

henry cavill - superman

abigail spencer - lois

charlie mcdermott - jimmy

william h macy - perry white

rob lowe - lex luthor

matt frewer - john kent

debra winger - martha kent

schyuler fisk - lana lang

Hope this doesn't hurt Butlers' chances of being in The Man Of Steel film potentially.

Filming doesn't start for MOS until August, so I hope Butler will be finished with this surfer film by then.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I seriously don't think Butler will be in this film. At least, I hope not. I don't exactly dislike him, but I don't think he brings a whole lot to the table. The only character I could see him playing is Zod, and I hope he's not in this movie.

I hope he is in the film.

As Zod or even as Luthor possibly.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm still stuck on either Kurt Russell or Bruce Greenwood as Jonathan..
I know it would never happen, but I wish they could pull a coup and get Russell Crowe for Jor-el.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I'm not a Russel Crowe fan at all

[Superman_20]

Am I the only one who wants Jor-El to speak some language that is not english?

And the only one who wants Jor-El and his wife (whose name escapes me) to look alien?


thomas kretschmann and he speaks german so he could speak something that sounds similar

samantha morton for the wife since she looks like an alien

[DorkyFresh]

i wonder if Zack Snyder's gonna bring back Stephen McHattie (Loyalist from 300 and old Night Owl from Watchmen). i like him as an actor and he's in great shape for a 64 year old. if could definitely see him as Zod if they go the older route again. possibly Jonathan Kent?

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'd love to see him as Perry White.

 

[Project862006]

Bruce Greenwood - Johnathan Kent

Annette Bening - Martha Kent

 

[Sky Captain]

Dana Delany as Martha Kent (or is that just too much?)
