Word has it that Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) might have signed on to play Jimmy Olsen.

Also, it would appear that Brandon Routh signed a three picture deal with Warner Bros. Two of those are of course Superman films, but the third is rumored to be a Superman/Batman crossover! Of course, if that happens, it's years off. So no need to get your panties wet... yet.

Word has it that the reason Sam Huntington was cast as Jimmy Olsen instead of Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) is because the shooting scheduled of X3 and Superman conflict and Fox would not allow Ashmore time off to shoot the other comic book adaptation. If this rumor is true, it also means that James Marsden (Cyclops) will not appear in the third X-Men film due to his upcoming role as Perry White's son. By no means, however, does this equate to the removal of Cyclops from the team, as rumors of recasting have already begun.

In my opinion, they should not recast the role. Simply note that Scott was so distraught over the death of his girlfriend that he had to leave the time to mourn his loss. This way, the door is left open for his return in X4.

(This was also posted in the X-Men 3 thread.)

Conflicting reports both confirm and deny the following castings. So take them with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.

Jor-El: Daniel Day-Lewis

Lara: Famke Janssen [Kal-El's mother]

General Zod: Jude Law

Metallo/John Corbin: Kevin Bacon

[as of yet unnamed reporter]: Barry Pepper

Riley: Kal Penn [one of Luthor's henchmen]

It would seem that Jor-El will be played by none other than the original Jor-El, Marlon Brando. Apparently Richard Donner had some unused footage from his Superman films, and Singer plans to use it so the deceased actor can reprise his role.

That Tom Welling rumour was started by a cult of Smallvileists. No way that's happening.

As for the Brando thing, that's not so much a rumour as it is something that's in very early development. I wouldn't get your hopes up, because they've got to find a way to make the footage fit and not look like it's obviously been taken from the 70s. Sure would be cool if they could bring him back. Between this and the Godfather video game, you wouldn't think Brando's left us at all.
