Movienewz broke the rumor today that Matthew Goode is up for the role of Superman in Zack Snyder’s 2012 reboot of the Man of Steel. While nobody is specifically quoted, the website indicates that their sources claim that Goode (who played Ozymandias in Snyder’s Watchmen feature) is leading the pack of would be Supermen.
The report goes onto to explain that Snyder is looking to use CGI to enhance Superman’s character in a way similar to what we have seen accomplished with Ryan Reynolds’s costume in Green Lantern. That sounds like an interesting approach but I question how necessary that would be. After all there is a reason the Green Lantern costume looks the way it does—it’s supposed to be a form of alien energy.
Nonetheless, if Goode is the direction they are going with the casting of Superman, Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan are heading in the right direction. Goode has acting chops and natural charisma. Take a peek at the New York Times clip below.
