Missy Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 See, that's the thing. Luthor is a very intense businessman who's more often than not calm, cool and collected. He rarely gets his hands dirty, instead sending minions after the Man of Steel. This is perfect for Spacey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Other casting has yet to be finalised it seems though I've been advised to lend credence to the Topher Grace (as Olsen) and Mischa Barton (as Lois) talk. Both Topher ad Mischa are out... if they were ever in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 It has finally been confirmed that Kevin Spacey will play Lex Luthor and his Beyond the Sea co-star Kate Bosworth will take on the part of Lois Lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 James Marsden (Cyclops of X-Men fame) will play Richard White, Lois Lane's love interest and (rumored to be) Perry White's son. Speaking of Perry, Hugh Laurie (Dr. Gregory House on Fox's House, MD) is set to take on that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Speaking of Perry, Hugh Laurie (Dr. Gregory House on Fox's House, MD) is set to take on that role. I love Hugh Laurie, but I can't honestly see him playing an American newspaper editor. But then, I can't see Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane either.....

Missy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 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.

The Maverick Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
