The Old Official Superman Casting Thread

[SuperDaniel]

He would be good but Cavill and Trucco are better.

 

[Lobo]

I was never a fan of Cavill's for the part. Trucco seems like he'd be OK. I just think this time if they re cast they'll go with someone who has bit more star power.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^You really like him, don't you?

 

[SuperDaniel]

Yeah..he is a great actor, better than Routh for sure and looks a lot like Superman while looking totally different from Reeve. That perfume add is pure Superman walking...

Lol what are you trying to get across with all those dunhill ads, that his a good looking guy?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Well as one of the few girls on here I have to say that ad convinced me of that fact. lol

He did look kinda Superman-ish in it.

 

[SuperDaniel]

That`s what i was trying to show...

Not that I want him as Supes as its already to late but so far no one posted beats Welling in the Superman-ish look in terms of facial and physical stature. Welling not only looks good but he also has that solid frame.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^I disagree. Welling's lack of acting ability kills him for me.

I was talking looks.

Josh Brolin for Kingdom come supes!!

I was talking looks.

Welling looks like a horse.

There's nothing in the comics that show any resemblance to Welling. Cavill and Bomer look more like the traditional Supes than he does.

I'd love to one day see Kingdom Come on the big screen one day, but not until after they are done with a trilogy of Superman films, and with Nolan's Batman films.

I too was thinking about Brolin as Superman the other day if they ever did Kingdom. He'd be great!

same, and yeah he would.

 

[gimmen64]

I could see this guy as Superman.

I could see this guy as Superman.

I've seen him brought up before, I can see it.

Agreed.

 

[Timstuff]

This might sound odd, but he actually reminds me more of Captain Marvel.

 

[Superark]

I could see this guy as Superman.

For some reason this guy just looks like he's confused to me.

 

[Bulletproof]

SuperDan, I am now officially on board the Cavill train thanks to the Dunhill ad you posted. Someone get that guy (Cavill) a personal trainer stat. I still think Anne Hathaway would make for the perfect Lois.

 

[Timstuff]

Cavill was not a favorite of mine back in the pre-SR heyday because he didn't really look manly enough to me. But since then, I've been shocked at how much more he's matured. He has the exact kind of chiseled facial features that Superman needs, and Warner Bros. would probably be comfortable with him since he's still young and therefore is "franchise material" (which unfortunately, is why Trucco is unlikely to get the role).

I like the idea of Hathaway as Lois, and I'd never really thought of it before... However, my fear with her is that she wouldn't be "spunky" enough to be Lois, which was why I absolutely loathed Kate Bosworth as Lois despite how cute she is. Lois without spunk is like Batman without angst.
