The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread

Michael Keaton as Perry White would be awesome!

 

[M.O.Steel]

Wow, never thought of him before. I think I'd actually rather see him than Yelchin now. Such an underrated actor

Yeah, he is great, and then inception, he totally stole the scenes. I think he would be a good choice to move away from the "oh gee Mr Kent" bow-tie wearing guy to a more, "**** this, i gotta get this shot."

 

[M.O.Steel]

Michael Keaton as Perry White would be awesome!

he would be. thought he was awesome as captain in the other guys

 

[M.O.Steel]

I have to say that I like your choices. The only person I really didn't feel was Lois. I'd prefer Stroup, Greene, Wilde just to name a few of my favorites.

and it is just me or does Elizabeth Mitchell look like a blonde Clone of Carrie Anne Moss?

she does look like carrie anne moss. and by the way, the is the prettiest picture of CAM. I've never seen her so beautiful, i'm surprised, almost to the point where, is that really her?

 

[EML420]

Matthew Bomer has Superman
and John Hamm has Jor el.

 

[M.O.Steel]

my cast:
clark kent

lois lane

Perry White (what??)

Jimmy Olsen

Jor-El

Lara-El

Lex Luthor (WHAT??!! i know, sorry I see spidey)

Braniac

Darkseid

Metallo

 

[M.O.Steel]

pa kent

ma kent

Lana Lang

If they go for an older couple
older superman

older lois

 

[MadVillainy]

Not really digging that cast

 

[M.O.Steel]

what would you change?

i hope it's not because i didn't pick your ideal superman, and so by definition, it is a terrible cast and will be a terrible movie.

 

[MadVillainy]

Everyone but Jor El and Lara, Brainiac, and Pa Kent. And maybe Lana

 

[daywalker2007]

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!

haha, yeah. that is what i was thinking. because normally i don't think she is attractive but in that particular picture I thought she was very pretty

 

[Eze]

Hamm/Beckinsale is a nice combo. Now I might be casterbating too much, but I think Hathaway/Gyllenhaal could be a good combo too after watching their trailer. I know Gyllenhaal isn't the best look alike, but I'd sacrifice looks to get a lead actor this time.

 

[Wheels]

Superman's look is important to me, but Gyllenhaal might be too good to pass up. And Hathaway has always been my ideal choice for Lois Lane.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Brainiac - Vincent Cassel:

Awesome!

 

[Frodo]

Brainac: Guy Pierce(Memento)
Jimmy Olsen: Joseph Gordon Levitt(Inception)
Johnathan Kent in Flashbacks : Jefferey Dean Morgan(Watchmen)
Martha Kent in Flashbacks : Carla Gugino (Watchmen)

I hope some are willing to Dominic Pace a chance for the role of Lex Luthor:

Also, here's a video of a photoshoot of him acting like a villain: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=51buc&s=7

He's unknown and has a lot of TV credits but I've enjoyed what I've seen of his acting so far and at the very least think he deserves a screen test.

i love it. haha. only thing i would change is patrick wilson instead of matthew goode for superman. although they both could work.

i don't remember Tom Berenger, but Michael Caine would be good for perry white as well.

 

[BH/HHH]

Matthew Goode would be awful as Superman

 

[GreenKToo]

It'll never happen, but i'd like either Alec Baldwin or Ed Harris as Perry.
Kurt Russell as Jonathan.

 

[Frodo]

Matthew Goode would be awful as Superman

I think Goode would be alright. He's not a bad actor though Watchmen was probably his worst performance . But between the actors in Synder and Nolans films , he would fit the bill the most though I think Wilson could also fit.

 

[M.O.Steel]

i don't think he was bad in watchmen. that was what the role called for.

and i agree, it could work

 

[M.O.Steel]

It'll never happen, but i'd like either Alec Baldwin or Ed Harris as Perry.
Kurt Russell as Jonathan.

why not?

both would be amazing as Perry White. Alec would be more funny, and Harris would be more serious.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, he is great, and then inception, he totally stole the scenes. I think he would be a good choice to move away from the "oh gee Mr Kent" bow-tie wearing guy to a more, "**** this, i gotta get this shot."

No...you don't want a guy like Joseph Gordon Levitt to play a character like Jimmy. To me, it'll be waste for an up-and-comer like him, and I feel like one day, he'll play a superhero himself. Not Jimmy Olsen.

 

[Project862006]

goode would need steroids to be superman lol
