The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread

[flickchick85]

Michael Keaton as Perry White would be awesome!

would be great to see michael keaton as perry white. he was great in The Other Guys, and always delivers something great. he's perfect for Perry, even though he was the Batman!

Awesome!

Yay, Keaton and Cassel were rather outside-the-box choices so I wasn't sure how those would go over. Still, I have to add that Keaton wasn't originally my idea - someone else suggested it here a while back and I thought it was pretty inspired, too. Anyway, nice to see a few people agree.

I could definitely see Keaton as Perry. If there is anyone deserves a comeback more, it is Keaton. Was hoping he would get it after the one-two punch of Toy Story 3 and The Other Guys, which he was fantastic in each

 

[SuperMike335!!]

Lana Lang

If they go for an older couple
older superman

I thought Clark and Lana were supposed to be the same age?

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

And here we go:

Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent

Rachel McAdams as Lois Lane

Jason Isaacs as Brainiac

Paul Bettany as Lex Luthor

Dave Franco as Jimmy Olsen

James Caan as Perry White

Albert Finney as Jonathan Kent

Susannah York as Martha Kent

 

[Man of Steel]

And here we go:

Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent

Rachel McAdams as Lois Lane

Jason Isaacs as Brainiac

Paul Bettany as Lex Luthor

Dave Franco as Jimmy Olsen

James Caan as Perry White

Albert Finney as Jonathan Kent

Susannah York as Martha Kent

Routh is perfect for Superman. The others are okay but I'd prefer McAdams as Iris Allen, Franco as Lightning Lad, Issacs as Ras Al Ghul and Bettany as Ares. Lara as Ma Kent? From one mother of Superman to the other.

 

[M.O.Steel]

I thought Clark and Lana were supposed to be the same age?

that lana lang was from the previous set of casting i picked with a younger clark and a younger lois.

if you notice my note, the hamm-beckingsale combo is who i would pick if they went with an older couple, but if they go for an older couple, others in the cast would have to change as well including lex luthor, lana lang, and the kents, but i didn't feel like do 2 sets of casting, so i just wrote who i think should be lois and clark.

 

[Puckenstein]

If anyone was hoping to see Martin Sheen as Jonathan or Perry, or hoping to see Sally Field as Martha, they've been lost to the Spiderman reboot.

 

[BH/HHH]

And here we go:

Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent

Rachel McAdams as Lois Lane

Jason Isaacs as Brainiac

Paul Bettany as Lex Luthor

Dave Franco as Jimmy Olsen

James Caan as Perry White

Albert Finney as Jonathan Kent

Susannah York as Martha Kent

great cast

 

[djkris]

Albert Finney could also be Perry White, he has that "I am mad as hell and I am not gonna take this anymore!" vibe.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jimmy Olsen is a character that some liberties can be taken with and instead of mentioning Yelchin and Cera again, I present you with Donald Glover.

 

[M.O.Steel]

he would make a good jimmy olsen. i feel the same way about perry white, so that's why i mentioned Lawrence fishburne.

they both would work really well for the characters even if they aren't white.

 

[BH/HHH]

I agree

 

[Dark Knight]

Ed Harris as Perry White FTW!

 

[Dark Knight]

Anton Yelchin as Jimmy Olsen FTW!

 

[BH/HHH]

Seen as though I don't think BR's coming back I'm gonna go with my next choice cast list:

Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman

Rachel McAdams as Lois Lane

Billy Zane as Lex Luthor

Jason Isaacs as Braniac

James Gandolfini as Perry White

Jesse Eisenberg as Jimmy Olsen

 

[The Watchman]

Clark Kent / Superman – Henry Cavill

Lois Lane – Rose Byrne

Lex Luthor – Daniel Day Lewis

Jimmy Olsen – Jaime Bell

Perry White – Alec Baldwin

Martha Kent - Sally Field

Jonathan Kent – Jeff Bridges

Lana Lang – Emma Roberts

Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent

Rachel McAdams as Lois Lane

Jason Isaacs as Brainiac

Paul Bettany as Lex Luthor

Dave Franco as Jimmy Olsen

James Caan as Perry White

Albert Finney as Jonathan Kent

This would be a great cast. Caan as Perry White would be the equivalent of Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon.

 

[echostation]

Of course he's not an actor even though he had a role in Wall Street 2, but has anyone seen Thomas Belesis. The guy looks EXACTLY like Lex, it's uncanny

too bad he has a ****** voice

 

[Sawyer]

John Larroquette for Perry White.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Joe Manganiello would be good for Supes.

 

[The Watchman]

I considered that too, thought as an Italian myself, he may a bit too Italian for Superman

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Yeah but he's an ok enough actor, he has the look and he's 6'5!

 

[BH/HHH]

I gotta say I could definitely see Alec Baldwin as Perry especially after watching 30 Rock

Looks like Joe has spoken with WB, nolan, and snyder.
