The Official Superman Casting & Discussion Thread

[green]

Back to the Joe M. rumors again...

They could get Sophia Bush for Lois and it'd be One Tree Hill reunion.
(actually I wouldnt mind Sophia as Lois, I love her voice)

 

[Majik1387]

Or even better for me Jon Hamm as Jonathan Kent

I would love Eric Bana as Jor El, he has some similar facial features to Joe Manganiello, and exactly somebody that i would see in the role. And Craig as Luthor would just be the cherry on the cake

Hamm is too young for Jonathan Kent

 

[Maze]

Depend on the version that one has in mind

Hamm is too young for Jonathan Kent

And I think it'd be odd if the adoptive father was the spitting image of the kid that isn't his.

 

[Maze]

Iff Joe Manganiello is Superman i don't see the similarity.

now Magic, if you're talking about adult clark yes Hamm is too young, BUT he would be good for young clark and could easily looks ten to twenty year old more with make up, he looks already well beyond his age imo.

 

[Majik1387]

I'm talking about Hamm as Jonathan, not Clark.

And he turns 40 this year and he looks it; not in a bad way. He doesn't look older or younger than his actual age.

 

[Kurosawa]

Hamm would be better for Jor-El. I'd like Pa Kent to be more in his late 40's-early 50's (when they first find Kal-El), then older when he passes away.

Joe M. is an impressive looking guy but he looks more like Zod material than Superman material to me. That said, I'm open to him as Supes.

 

[GreenKToo]

Hamm is too young for Jonathan Kent

I like Hamm, but I think Bruce Greenwood would be awesome as Jonathan.
I'd love a cast like this.

Joe M as supes.
Bruce Greenwood as Jonathan
Eric Bana or Jon Hamm as Jor-el ( bana and joe kinda favor)
maybe Jason Isaacs as Lex
John Goodman as Perry
And Keanu Reeves as Brainiac

I'm just curious. What's with all the Joe M. talk as of late? Has a "rumor" surfaced or something? I mean, I know his name was mentioned months ago, but that talk kind of died down. So why all of a sudden? BTW, I would not mind if he got the role.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I saw Joe M in an interview for whatever awards show was going the other day... he towered over the dude interviewing him. He really seems like a pretty nice guy, it wasn't hard to imagine glasses on him as Clark.

I don't think he looks as noble as Cavill would look, but I really wouldn't mind if Joe got it. He looks very powerful and masculine, actually looks like a man. I could really see him standing up to someone like Gerard Butler as Zod. Also if he's a huge Superman fan himself, he'd put 100% into the role. Yeah, I think I'd nod in satisfaction if he got it.

@RouthIsSuperman - LA Time just tweeted that Joe is the front runner

[GoblinWhirlwind]

If he's THE frontrunner, we could get an official announcement anytime.

 

[BH/HHH]

He's in my list of choices I would be very happy with so I'm hoping its true

 

[Alonsovich]

A frontrunner... meaning possibly more are up for it...

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Same. I'm almost feeling anxious or something... after so long with nothing happening, I hope this is true too.

 

[GreenKToo]

I Hope its true as well. I for sure don't want it debunked this evening or monday.

[Micah12345]

I'd be okay with joe IF he was willing to put in blue contacts.
