The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread

[HighFivingMF]

He needs more prominent roles, for sure. The guy's talented as f**k.

Have you seen him on Raising Hope? He plays the main character's Father. He is GREAT at comedy. Hilarious.

No, but I will now.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Jor-el: Ben Cross

Already Spock's father. So similar.

Perry: Alec Baldwin

Seems too obvious and uninspired for Perry after 30 Rock.

Jimmy: Rupert Grint

The Harry Potter ginger?

Lex: Faran Tahir

Uhhh...what!?

Brainiac: Hugo Weaving

Captain America.

Zod: if he's there, Gerald Butler.

I think they can do better.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Christoph Waltz would be an amazing Brainiac.

 

[Showtime]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Haven't seen him thin. But yes. Dear God, yes.

 

[elgaz]

Here's my amended cast list

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Weaving is Red Skull (Captain America) and Tom Hardy is in Batman III.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

This choice is so full of win that it's not even funny.

Here some of my unoriginal half ass choices:

Superman/Clark Kent: Armie Hammer or an unknown who is a good, charming actor.

Lois Lane: Anne Hathaway or Leighton Meester. WB is obsessesed with casting their female leads in this flicks with WB/CW actresses. I think that she'd actually be a good choice for once.

Lex Luthor: Joaquin Phoenix or some other fine somewhat young actor.

 

[elgaz]

Weaving is Red Skull (Captain America) and Tom Hardy is in Batman III.

I know, my list is more of a fantasy wishlist.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

Michelle Monaghan, interesting.

 

[Changeling]

John Goodman is a ridiculously good choice for Perry. Wow.

 

[GinsterHead]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

HELL YES.

 

[Rust]

"Kent, you're entering a world of pain..."

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Here's my amended cast list

I like it.

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

• Superman - Henry Cavill
• Lois Lane - Elizabeth Banks
• Lex Luthor - Michael Shannon
• Perry White - Richard Jenkins
• Jimmy Olsen - Donald Glover
• Brainiac - Luke Goss
• John Corben - Garret Dillahunt
• Steel - Erik King
• Jonathan Kent - Scott Glenn

No to everyone.

 

[Comicfan]

Here's my amended cast list

:up


(Maybe put Rachel McAdams as Lois and it would be perfect)

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm liking Kurt Russell or Bruce Greenwood as Jonathan. The Goodman as Perry suggestion is full of win.
I'm thinking Crowe as Jor-el or maybe Ben Cross ( yes I know he is spock's father, dont really care, it's called acting..)
I'm trying to think ''weird'' for Brainiac. Maybe Crispin Glover.
Faran Tahir as Lex. He's not a big name, but he's a damn fine actor. so yeah...Faran Tahir.

 

[Daybreak_st]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

That is quite simply perfect casting! t:

 

[Eddie Dean]

No to everyone.

Fantasic!

I'm trying to think ''weird'' for Brainiac. Maybe Crispin Glover.

Jackie Earle Haley?


And Goodman is getting well deserved love for Perry.

 

[JamalYIgle]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

Ladies and Gentleman, i present to you Perry White!
perfect perfect perfect!

 

[Superman_20]

Superman: Henry Cavill

Lois Lane: Rachel McAdams

Perry White: Bruce McGill

Lex Luthor: Edward Norton

Jor-El: (Speaking in another language) Thomas Kretschmann

Lara-El: Samantha Morton

Jimmy Olsen: Joseph Gordon Levitt

Jonathan Kent: James Garner

Martha Kent: Sally Field

 

[Zorex]

Whoa... something about Sally Field and James Garner as the Kents really clicks with me. Nice.

Also, John Goodman for Perry White, YES! I'm totally for that!

 

[MadVillainy]

This choice is so full of win that it's not even funny.

Here some of my unoriginal half ass choices:

Superman/Clark Kent: Armie Hammer or an unknown who is a good, charming actor.

Lois Lane: Anne Hathaway or Leighton Meester. WB is obsessesed with casting their female leads in this flicks with WB/CW actresses. I think that she'd actually be a good choice for once.

Lex Luthor: Joaquin Phoenix or some other fine somewhat young actor.

Nice. My top choices too

 

[Polux]

The new thinner bad ass John Goodman as Perry White.

This suggestion is so painfully perfect! It´s more than I could ever ask for!

(Tho, originally I wanted either Martin Sheen or Alec Baldwin for Perry; Goodman is more than perfect!)

Polux.
