Continuing what we discussed on this weeks podcast and per The Hollywood Reporter, director Zack Snyder is eyeing Viggo Mortensen to play the bad guy in the upcoming Superman film. Other sites like comic book movie.com are also stating that 'There Will Be Blood' star Daniel Day-Lewis is also a person of interest. They assume that he too could be up for the film's villain
These reports are saying General Zod but nothing is confirmed.
The Hollywood Reporter also mentions that actor Kevin Costner is up for the role of Jonathan Kent.
As fan of all things 'Super'...I am loving everything I am hearing. I wouldn't hate the idea of another go with Zod but Superman does have a few other villains that might be ready for their silver screen debut.
Sure Superman's rogue gallery isn't as easy to translate or identify with as Batman's or Spider-Man's...all of their villains are flawed or failed humans...where as Superman has imps from other dimensions and space traveling city thieves.
But still....if the focus of the film is on the Man of Steel, then maybe audiences wouldn't mind the coming of War World in the final act just as Clark Kent accepts his role as Superman and becomes Earth's greatest champion.
Anyway, keep checking in as we will continue to provide all the latest.
