If, as rumours are beginning to abound, it’s true that Superman has been cast as Brandon Routh then it wouldn’t be too far fetched.
According to this update on the Superman V site Routh has previously auditioned for the role for McG and was asked back by Singer.
Another amazing coincidence is that as soon as I saw the announcement post I went a hunting, and I found the site of Mr Routh (see above), the more amazing thing is what I found in the photo gallery, pictures of him dressed as Kent\Superman!
Checking out those two photos, and the camera still at the bottom, you can actually see the resemblance. It really is there, especially in the bottom shot. This guy looks like the part, and if that’s enough to go by, then he should get it.
That and the fact he’s been in Will & Grace is enough for me! Still, is he the right choice? Is it right for a total unknown avoiding obvious big star power?
