The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread

[BH/HHH]

I'm changing my Lois to: Rachel McAdams or Olivia Wilde

And if they ever do Darkseid in the future

Darkseid:

Jeffrey Dean Morgan

6 Foot 2, a great build for Darkseid and definitely got the acting chops

Here's my amended cast list

One of the best casting I've seen so far, but i prefer Evangeline Lilly for Lois Lane, Anton Yelchin for Jimmy Olsen (he's great in Star Trek) and Gerard Butler for Zod (Snyder will like!).
Great, great idea Michael Keaton for Perry Whyte!

• 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

In this, instead, I save only Henry Cavill.

 

[Poopyman]

Keanu Reeves as Brainiac (think The Day the Earth Stood Still )
Javier Bardem as Mongul
Dennis Haysbert as Darkseid

actually I like Richard Jenkins for Perry, Donald Glover for Jimmy (though he probably won't do it) and Michael Shannon as Lex. But in this case, I feel like Lex should be closer to Henry's age range.

 

[EliteF50]

KEATON FOR PERRY WHITE!

Come on, guys! Let's make it happen!

 

[BH/HHH]

Keanu Reeves as Brainiac (think The Day the Earth Stood Still )
Javier Bardem as Mongul

[Threshold]

I seriously dig the idea of having Michael Keaton as Perry.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Jeff Fahey for Jonathan Kent

Annette Bening for Martha Kent

 

[Mr. Thing]

I seriously dig the idea of having Michael Keaton as Perry.

Likewise. It's a pretty genius idea.

[flickchick85]

I seriously dig the idea of having Michael Keaton as Perry.

He's been my top choice for the role for ages now.

Vincent Cassel's always been my fave for Brainiac, but I never thought about him for Zod. That could actually be pretty awesome.

 

[Sebastos]

Matthew Goode for Brainiac.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Christian Bale for Batman.

You know you want a cameo!

 

[Sawyer]

Christian Bale for Batman.

You know you want a cameo!

Want? Yes.

Expect? Pfffft.

 

[craigdbfan]

What if it was a cameo and an allusion to Batman but not the one from the Nolan series?

I could see that working but I doubt WB will do it. They seem pretty serious about keeping them separate.

 

[Man-E-Toys]

jeff bridges for perry white or jonathan kent.
