Here's my fancast for the movie.

Awesome casting!!!t:

Bleh.

I like this casting to except for Jimmy.t:

 

[Rust]

For Jonathan I think this guy would make great charismatic chemistry with Cavill:

Sam ****ing Neill.

 

[GinsterHead]

Never thought of him before.

 

[Rust]

Yeah, I hope Snyder has an eye for what makes great chemistry. Neill's just wonderful to watch and he was also in Legend of the Guardians, so Snyder's worked with him.

[JonRed99]

Are we posting fan casts or casts that could actually be possible, because we can't have A-List actors in every single role.

 

[Dark Knight]

Interesting to see that it seems Gerard Butlers schedule is free after his finishes filming a romantic comdedy called Playing the Field in March.

That shoot will not be a long one, so it is possible he could be cast in this next Superman film.

Here is hoping!

 

[Sawyer]

I still want Edward James Olmos to be Perry.

 

[Majik1387]

I don't see him working.

 

[Sawyer]

Lack of imagination.

 

[gkokujin]

Bleh.

Luthor, WIN.

 

[Zachhelms]

Lois Lane - Olivia Wilde or Evangeline Lilly.
Jon Hamm would be a good Jor-El.
Not feeling Regan as Lara.
I like Greenwood as Johnathan but not Helen as Martha.
I like Braniac as both those choices.
Lex Luthor needs to be Billy Zane in my opinion.
I like Yelchin as Jimmy.
Hammer as Bizarro is great.
Michael Keaton as Perry is a great idea!
I like the choice for Cat but not the choice for Lana.

Superman: Cavill
Lois: Rachel McAdams or Mila Kunis
Lex Luthor: Daniel Craig, Matthew Goode, or Joaquin Phoenix
