Yeah...no. We got to see him as Superman for what? 30 seconds? That hardly qualifies him to be the only person to play the character.

Cavill on what fans can expect from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel:

Cavill compared the "Man of Steel", written by screenwriter David S. Goyer and directed by "300" and "Watchmen" auteur Zack Snyder, to "The New 52," DC Comics' dramatic and so-far successful revamping of the origins and costumes of many DC Universe titles and characters, including Wonder Woman and Green Lantern and of course Superman. "When that came out, everyone went, 'Arrhhh! Everything's changed,'" exclaimed Cavill. "It's part of the evolution of the character. There is a modernization to it, and certainly our style is making him easier to associate with because it's pretty tough to associate with an invulnerable alien."

Cavill on coming close to playing Superman before and the contacts he made at WB:

"It's actually been proven that just because I didn't get Superman then doesn't mean that I can't get Superman now," said Cavill without sounding the least bit arrogant."You can't let it get you down. You've got to look at the positives. I got to meet with Warner Bros. and everyone there. It's beneficial, really."

Cavill on the fan reaction and his research into the source material:

"There are a lot of people who have dedicated their life to loving this character. ... Their opinion does matter," noted Cavill. "I've done my research on the source material. I have my opinions on the various bits and bobs, but sometimes there will be a little gem out there about one of the books, and I'll say to myself, 'Yeah. That's a good point.'"

Immortals director Taresem Singh also sings Cavill's praises and states he will be a wonderful Superman:

"He will deliver in spades," said "Immortals" director Singh of Cavill's Greek hero portrayal. "There's no drawing this guy back at this point in his life. He's so committed. ... In my film, he had to act, but he truly is a Superman." Singh said he was sold on Cavill for Immortals when he gave the actor a simple scene to read, and Cavill effortlessly interpreted it five different ways.

Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is one of the most highly-anticipated films on the horizon, and it looks like we a sequel is already in the works. ThinkMcFlyThink reports that the studio is currently putting together a shortlist of writers to pen the sequel. Surprisingly, David S. Goyer, who wrote the current film is not mentioned on the list.

The studios top choice is Steve Kloves (Harry Potter saga, the upcoming Akira and co-writer of The Amazing Spider-Man). The list also includes, Travis Beacham (Clash of the Titans, Pacific Rim), Lawrence Kasdan (Paradise Lost, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back). I would be very happy with any of the above being involved in the possible sequel.

Man of Steel arrives in theaters on June 14th and stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Russell Crowe, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix and Laurence Fishburne.

This is one of the most intriguing rumors that I have seen lately about Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. Apparently, the Cosmic Book News is reporting that they were tipped that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) is going to be doing a cameo in the film as Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor.
Here is what they had to say:

We were told after Paradise Lost bottomed out, that Bradley Cooper will appear as Lex Luthor in a cameo role in the Man of Steel.

Back in April of 2011, we were provided information that the first draft of the script held a prominent role for Luthor, one that even saw Lex forcing the Kryptonians through a Phantom Zone portal using Kryptonite in the final battle. At the end of the movie, Lex considers forcing Superman through as well, but relents.

What is it with them fucking up classic superhero movies with stupid shit?

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-01-05 10:03

In all fairness, classic Superman IV did a lot to already fuck up classic Superman movies. Superman Returns was pretty awful too so not gonna go through the whole Sonic cycle and expect much from this one.

Never been a Superman fan, but I think of what Snyder did for The Watchmen, and I actually find myself a little hyped for this. Need a trailer already! Also, Nolans got his back with writing.. Gonna be hard for this to fail.

**Rhinox** · 2012-01-23 23:05

lets hope for a little more watchmen and a whole hell of a lot less Suckerpunch.

**Souj** · 2012-01-24 00:42

Sucker Punch failed because he created and wrote it. As long as he isn't creating original content he should be okay.
