The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread - Part 1

[Prison Mike]

Jon Hamm for Jor-El or Lex Luthor. Actually, I don't care what role. I just want him in the movie.

You are just like I am.

I was pissed off at people who were bringing him up to play Jor El just to counter my wanting him as Superman but now that Cavill is cast, things have changed. I'll take him in any role I can.

Ditto.

 

[Majik1387]

Did I seriously see Alexis Bledel as a suggestion for Lara?

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, that was lame.

She may make a decent Lana, though.

 

[Project862006]

funny thing is AB is older than henry lol

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think she's a bad choice for both of those roles. She's a pretty girl but she hasn't shown anything remotely special about her in the acting field. As far as I'm concerned, she should stick to teen/youth based T.V. shows.

 

[Project862006]

i would like John Hamm for Jor El

and Lena Headey for Lara

 

[DorkyFresh]

if they're looking for an Oscar winner for Lara, they could get Kate Winslet.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Yeah, I seriously doubt that Kate Winslet would do it.

 

[Project862006]

Lara does'nt seem like it would be a huge role anyways

 

[tomoe]

How a person acts is what defines who they are, not what they look like. If Donald Glover can act like Jimmy, then he is Jimmy.

Soo... if John Goodman and Roseanne Barr were playing Superman and Lois, and they acted their parts perfectly, you would accept that? I think your statement is true in real life, but not when casting movies.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Yeah, I seriously doubt that Kate Winslet would do it.

good point...what about Charlize Theron?

 

[Sebastos]

^ Me like.

 

[WonderWitch]

you did. why is she so wrong? (seriously, i'd love to hear why)

 

[RoughNTumble]

We know they're looking at DDL for Jor-El, and since no other actors have been mentioned for the part, it's possible he got it. *fingers crossed*

Assuming he doesn't, who else could compare to him in the role?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Thats an awesome choice.

IF Liam Neeson hadn't been used in Nolan's film, I wouldn't have minded him playing Jor el either.

 

[Zack Snyder]

That is Neeson's niche

 

[flickchick85]

Goodness, Jon Hamm and Charlize Theron would be the most gorgeous "long lost movie parents" ever. I guess if they have to "out-sexy" their already younger Ma & Pa Kent (yes, Costner is still considered hot by some people. No, not me. And we all know Diane Lane's still got it.), then that would be the way to go, lol.

But seriously, that would be awesome.

 

[RoughNTumble]

jon hamm should be jor-el, but only if they don't cast him as lex

 

[SuperDaniel]

If Charlize Theron is Lara... holy ****. I'd f*** both Superman`s moms! lol

 

[Rodrigo90]

Well if Faora is the villain then I suggest Rachel Weisz

Won an Oscar.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Well if Faora is the villain then I suggest Rachel Weisz

Won an Oscar.

This is the first Faora suggestion i've seen... but I doubt i'll see one I like more. She's the perfect Faora in every way, and would be a great addition to the team.

 

[GreenKToo]

DDL as Jor-el would be epic.
