The Official Superman Casting Thread

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm so glad that fanboys don't cast comicbook movies.

 

[That-Guy]

^I love your sig That-Guy! lol

Anyway I think that Duhmamel is a likable enough actor but I just don't see him getting the role. I personally think that his time has passed.

Haha, thanks.

I don't know, to me, Josh looks like the illigitimate child of Timothy Olyphant and Johnny Knoxville. But he possesses neither the charisma of Olyphant or... whatever it is that occasionally makes Knoxville remotely entertaining. (Of course, maybe he could obtain the latter if he occasionally put on a blindfold allowed himself to be gored by a bull!)

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

At least the guy has proven he can act now.

And if they never took a chance on an unknown model like him, he wouldn't have gotten the opportunity.

Unknowns deserve consideration, especially for a role like this where 99% of known Hollywood actors don't fit the physical requirements for Superman.

Depp & Dicaprio get thrown around alot because their supposedly good actors. I don't see it, but, then again alot of people didn't see it in RDJ until he did Iron man, so just goes to show if your in the right movies, fanboys will pick you no matter what your range is, or in this case isn't. He'll RDJ was nothing more than a B celebrity with a drug problem, now apparently he's a god. Fame be a fickle thing. like I said Depp & Dicaprio are ****ing themselves off at the mo, so their the flavor of the month I guess.

Umm, no he wasn't. He was an Academy Award nominated actor, for his role as Charlie Chaplin. Yes, his career hit a bit of a dry spell following his addiction, but he balanced back giving acclaimed performances in films such as Good Night, and Good Luck, A Scanner Darkly, and Zodiac. He also won a Golden Globe for Ally McBeal and was nominated for an Emmy.

Just because Downey didn't do much in the mainstream prior to Iron Man hardly means he was a "B-lister." Downey has long been recognized as one of Hollywood's finest.

VALID points below as to why Josh Duhamel should be considered for the role of Superman, that keep being ignored:

Duhamel on the other hand is 6'3, with room to bulk up, is 37 years of age but looks younger, has the facial square jawbone structure a Supes candidate needs, has charisma, has experience working on big time productions (Transformers) yet is still a relatively under the radar known actor who is good looking and is an American actor.

 

[That-Guy]

I wouldn't know....I don't look at naked photos of guys on the internet. WTF?

At least the guy has proven he can act now.

You sure about that?

Have you SEEN some of the pictures people have posted in this thread before?

 

[SuperDaniel]

First the fans want Joe Manganiello, a terrible actor who looks like a caveman for Superman with ZERO carisma and kindness and now they piss on this amazing rumoured storyline. WTF is going on?

 

[Dark Knight]

You sure about that?

Have you SEEN some of the pictures people have posted in this thread before?

As I have said before.....Duhamel is a better Superman candidate than 95% percent of the unknown clowns that are being suggested here on day in day out basis!

Realize it.

I'm done....I have made my points....you and the others in here can carry on and keep suggesting the Arnie Hammers, McFartlins, the Joe M's and that guy in the commericals who is making out with that red head when she is day dreaming! LOL Sheesh.....

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

It's false. Fans don't want to look like fools believing something 'CMBgirl' made up.

Crazy isn't it?

Thats why the Superman Casting Thread has it's reputation of being looney.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

the Arnie Hammers, McFartlins, the Joe M's and that guy in the commericals who is making out with that red head when she is day dreaming! LOL Sheesh.....

You do realize none of those mentioned names are unknowns.

Lame choices for Superman, yes, but they are 'up and comers.'

Unknown = Christopher Reeve before Superman, plucked out of obscurity.

I think the problem is that fans do not want another reboot/sequel/no one knows what the hell it is. They want a proper story told.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

I wouldn't know....I don't look at naked photos of guys on the internet. WTF?

Google image search just his name and see what happens.

Wasn't intentionally looking for them but they're out there. He was an unknown model at one point. Everyone starts somewhere.

 

[SuperDaniel]

It sounds to me like a reboot. Clark not being Superman for 1/3 of the movie, etc... First appearence, Intergang, Brainiac, Corporate Luthor. What more could you want? Give me an effin brake.

But its not real. The reality of what we're getting, is in Nolan's own words, "neither a sequel or a reboot."

Except it's fanfiction, and false.

I wasn't referring to Duhamel with that statement... just a general observation from frequently visiting this thread. It gets a little... strange here sometimes.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

The reality of what we're getting, is in Nolan's own words, "neither a sequel or a reboot."

Which makes sense in the context of why the Warners are even doing this film.

When did he say that?

I'm sorry, but his face doesn't fit for me...

A lot of the suggestions on this thread are awful. Not one has been perfect. Still doesn't make this one any better though.

 

[Rodrigo90]

All of our suggestions are crap.

 

[Matt]

Matt Bomer should be Superman. He's got the look. He's got the wit. He's got the charm. He's a fantastic actor. Only "problem," is height and being as we will not be standing next to him, his height can be adjusted by boots and camera work. It won't happen, but it should.

I give you Clark Kent and Superman! How any one cannot see this is beyond me?

 

[SuperDaniel]

And he's openly homoessexual, Has a small frame, terrible voice and looked even worse in the costume in that TV ad.

MAtt bomer should NEVER be Superman. Period.

 

[MadVillainy]

And he's openly homoessexual...

MAtt bomer should NEVER be Superman.

come on, man

 

[SuperDaniel]

Sorry but that matters to me. People already make jokes about it all the time. If he`s cast. OMG.

This is NOT what Superman needs.

Anyway, to me his frame and height are more important and he DOESNT have it. Plus he looked terrible as Superman in that toyota commercial.
