Superman From U.N.C.L.E? With Tom Cruise departing the project to focus on Mission Impossible 5, it seems Warner Bros. may already have found a replacement in Man Of Steel's Henry Cavill. According to Variety the actor is "in talks", but they don't add anything else to the report. If he lands the role he'll star opposite The Lone Ranger's Armie Hammer, and Swedish actress Alicia Vikander is still in negotiations to play the female lead. The movie will be directed by Guy Ritchie.

You ain't gonna have time for this crap Cavill. You are going to be entrusted with the sacred job of saving DC's cinematic universe.

It is alright DC/WB are working on a new master plan to send all the best actors to Marvel/Disney for their movies. They want to set up unhappy actors who bitch about each other, money, and roles etc....

Yup DC/WB master plan is underway!

Do not tell Trudy to GTFO that is just mean! Well actually I watched a news piece that said if you laugh for 15 mins a day the benefits are equal to sleeping for two hours.

Hey I want better health, keep Trudy around

LOL! And your bastard for saying I am taking down a buffet! That is absurd I would never take something if I can keep eating! Dang you sound like Trudy!

@ Grif this is a WB movie great way to lock him in for many years, and that would be a big time career. Obviously the Executives at WB saw great acting in MOS to be offering or at least talking to him on other gigs.....

Oh please, Cavill can juggle this (and any other film) while fulfilling any commitments to DC/WB. It's called scheduling. They have people for that now.

Remember how you couldn't throw a rock without hitting two or three Christian Bale films amid the Batman Trilogy (The New World, The Prestige, Terminator Salvation, I'm Not There, Rescue Dawn, The Fighter, Public Enemies)? It's not rocket surgery.

Everybody calm the frick down.Its the same frickin studio as the DC films.

Its a better situation then Downey doing Sherlock Holmes and Helmsworth doing
Snow White and the Huntsman because its all one studio. Its not like Helmsworth who is getting any money doing Marvel films.Those bastards act like playing Thor is Oscar level work. This is WB.They frickin pay their actors and offer the chance for critical acclaim.

Giving Cavill another big time gig is the perfect way to keep him happy with WB for years to come because he won't get burned out like Marvel does to their talent.

Can you smell the fear from Intruder? That guy is no longer talking about if MOS will be a hit is he?

He should worry about his hack studio being unable to hold onto a composer for Thor 2.

WB/DC Hans Zimmer >Marvel who???

WarnerBrother - 5/28/2013, 7:33 PM
I mean "Who isn't getting any money"

How they work together I guarantee you will go into play whether they select Armie as Batman for the Justice League and screw all you people who says he's too tall.

WarnerBrother - 5/28/2013, 7:35 PM
I guess the real question should be "Has anybody noticed Intruder's ball sack is shrinking the closer we get to June 14th?"

He's an actor, not the director. Actors have like a 3 month commitment to a film...maybe a little post production work after. Directors are the ones that are tied to a project from start to finish.

Plenty of time to do other stuff. RDJ did Sherlock Holmes between Iron Mans/Avenger flicks for instance.

Problem is the part is too similar to Bond so if he takes it he likely wont be Bond.

Why do people feel the need to drag Marvel into this? Do you get some sick pleasure from shitting on the next man? Just pipe down and enjoy what DC and Marvel have in store for us.
