The Official Superman Casting Thread

[Young Superman]

Just trying to throw more names on the chopping block.

Adam Gregory

IMO Adam Gregory would be perfect for Superboy (Kon-El).

I really want to see more of Manganiello in True Blood, because he hasn't really impressed me at all so far. I want to like him for Superman, but so far, meh.

I think he is a decent actor, in his other TV roles he was kind of a meat head, but in TB, he actually very different IMO

I don't know about BEL:C, because I really don't watch poorly researched movies about Colombia


But in interviews you can tell he has a lot of charisma

Wes Bentley for Superman

 

[TheWatcher]

^Original choice but he is only 5'11.

 

[Comicfan]

I can't wait to see the new suit (I'm exited but a bit apprehensive)

 

[baleheadbrasil]

I have the feeling that it will be him

hum me too...My bet is for Padalecki as the new Superman.
Or Jon Hamm if it´s true that will be a tv star.

 

[\S/uperman]

Showtime already said it will not be Padalecki.

 

[MadVillainy]

Showtime already said it will not be Padalecki.

so?

 

[Comicfan]

Joe for Superman
Rachel for Lois

That nose just kills me. I feel like it's piercing my lifesource.

The more I see of his face, the less enthusiastic I am about seeing him as Superman.

i know but i think he is the only one worth considering besides Routh, i mean i would rather have Routh than Wes Bentley but we all know WB's are not going to cast Routh again so i vote for Bentley, besides with good camera angles he can definitely look taller

 

[\S/uperman]

Wes Bentley looks way too much like Michael Landes from Lois and Clark season 1.

 

[Strider14]

... besides with good camera angles he can definitely look taller

Really? It's not about someone looking taller. It's about someone having a large imposing physical stature in the first place. I do apologize for being redundant, but the person playing Superman should be larger than me, not smaller than me. I am 6'1" and 220 lbs. I know some don't give much thought to what the actor looks like when he is making appearances to promote the movie, but if I had a 5'11" guy walk up to me that was playing Superman I think I would burst out laughing. It just doesn't work for me.

 

[\S/uperman]

Routh with classic costume and better hair style.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

Ya know I was thinking, what if these sources have it slightly backwards & Jonah Nolan wasn't up for directing Superman, but actually playing Superman. He's 6'2 BTW

[Asgard]

I remember Zano from Final Destination 3.

Hes the guy that had his small intestines sucked out of his ass in a public pool.

 

[\S/uperman]

I always thought J Nolan looks like Sam Worthington a bit.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

I always thought J Nolan looks like Sam Worthington a bit.

& yet I bet a first time shot at acting for Nolan would be betetr than anything Worthington's done in his career so far. That dudes a tool.

Padalecki sucks.......can we please stop bringing him up all together. Thank you.

 

[MadVillainy]

He's great on Supernatural

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Ya know I was thinking, what if these sources have it slightly backwards & Jonah Nolan wasn't up for directing Superman, but actually playing Superman. He's 6'2 BTW

Haha.


Hopefully the Superman actor isn't dwarfed by the director.

I'm sorry, but that Joe guy just looks too...ethnic...to play Superman.

It might just be the nose, but he looks like he comes from a specific region of Earth, whereas Reeve and Routh (yes, Routh) had more everymanish looks.

 

[Alien Anal]

What you think?

 

[hopefuldreamer]

True he's 5'10 but people are still talking about Bomer, and he has other issues besides height.

Dean Cain is 6ft tall.
In some scenes in Lois and Clark (If Hatcher was wearing heels) Lois was as tall as Superman. There were bit part characters that towered over Superman.
Superman needs to be tall.. Naturally tall. No lifts. no camera tricks.

The one bonus with Dean that always made me forget about his height, was he had the best body of anyone who's played Superman.

I remember Zano from Final Destination 3.

Hes the guy that had his small intestines sucked out of his ass in a public pool.

... and that's why I refused to watch any more of those movies after just about making it through the first 2... do I need to figure out that I could die in absolutely every everyday situation in horrendous and sickening ways? No... I could do without knowing that tbh.
