The Official Superman Casting & Discussion Thread

In Park City with his new film, The Off Hours, Scoot McNairy, the breakout star of Monsters, sat down to chat to Total Film about the impact Gareth Edwards' film has had on his career.

"[Monsters has] opened up a lot of doors for me. I just got an offer yesterday that was probably the biggest offer of my life..." he told us.

Though he was grinning like a Cheshire cat about this mystery offer, McNairy refused to be drawn on details - even with TF making guesses about it involving superhero costumes.
"It's a good one!" his publicist added, "but if he tells you he'll have to kill you."

Could it be Superman? "You'll read it in the trades in a few weeks," he shrugged, "it'll be a big annoucement."
We are officially excited. What news could be bigger than Zack Snyder revealing his new Clark Kent?
Cast your mind back to Monsters and chuck a pair of black rimmed glasses on McNairy's photo-journalist... have Nolan and Snyder found the 'relative unknown' they have been looking for... watch this space.
Is Scoot the next Superman? Or have we missed the mark? Let us know...

HELL NO to him.

Uh wow really? He'd have alot of eating to do. I like the idea of an actor thats totally off the radar but this...
He'd make a great Eddie Dean in The Dark Tower though.

 

[JAK®]

Hopefully he's playing a villain or other supporting character if he is indeed connected to Superman. I can't see him as Superman at all.

 

[JAK®]

EDIT - Silly lag.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

You've gotta love internet journalism... "I've gotten a big offer." "WHAT ELSE COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?!"

No Way...No chance. Jimmy Olsen, Yes, Superman? HELL NO.

 

[darkzombiemutt]

Wow, he's scrawny.

 

[Showtime]

Nope.

 

[Tra-El]

Wow, thanks for the warning.

I'm preparing for a humongous facepalm if this is true. I like nothing about him.

 

[Shawn Wayne]

I would rather be the unwilling star of a gay viking snuff flick than have this be true

 

[GinsterHead]

...what?

 

[Tra-El]

Lex Luthor? Brainiac? Bizzaro?

No way it's Superman, no *****ing way.

If Superman.... no words.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i could see him as Lex...but there's no way he'll be Superman. if he is, it'll be a bigger fail than all of SR.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out what his big role is, so that we won't have to wade through 50 pages of people complaining about it like it's set in stone...

 

[SuperMike335!!]

Scoot McNairy?!!!???

[GinsterHead]

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit presumptuous, but how did we go from potential actors like Cavill, Hammer, Manganiello, etc....to Scoot McNairy?

 

[Mike22]

What the F?
I'm thinking Brainiac.

 

[Puckenstein]

Jesus! It's not even guaranteed that it has anything to do with Superman! Pure speculation! Calm yourselves.

 

[Tra-El]

What the F?
I'm thinking Brainiac.

I'd LOVE to see Bizzaro and has a Bizzaro look. Braniac is a total complex scheme that should be saved for a sequel. IMO, I'd go with Bizzaro as the villain as a first film because he is an imperfect Superman clone that could battle it off Superman VS Superman. That would be a treat to all fans for a breakout first movie. Brainiac should be saved.

 

[SuperMike335!!]

Jesus! It's not even guaranteed that it has anything to do with Superman! Pure speculation! Calm yourselves.

Speculation schmeculation!!

CALM DOWN YOURESELF.

What we need here is a good old fashioned MOB.

Ok, guys here are the supplies we need.

Torches

Pitchforks

molotov cocktails

Rope

Megaphone

Shovel

The rest we can improvise

Its time to KILL THE SCOOT!!! ***marching theme***

 

[superhey]

Lex Luthor? Brainiac? Bizzaro?

No way it's Superman, no *****ing way.

If Superman.... no words.

I think He will be the next Lex Luthor, I image him bald.

The link doesn't work anymore, weird

 

[Puckenstein]

Good. Take your mob and head off yonder. Leave the adults to discuss practical matters.

Some adults lack a sense of humor
