Below is an excerpt from the interview conducted by our friends over at
Newsarama. To read the whole thing where the British comic book writer talks about about what's coming up in
Action Comics, just click on the link below to head on over to the site.
Newsarama: What do you think of the casting of Superman by a British actor? I noticed on Twitter that you jokingly mentioned Helena Bonham Carter as a possibility for Lois Lane, to round out the cast with Brits.
Paul Cornell: I understand how people take it so seriously. I really do. I'm hypocritical about it. I would hate it if Doctor Who was played by an American. So I understand how people want Superman to be played by an American. However, I think they have a good actor. I think it's really interesting that the Doctor and Superman have the same place in the psyche of the different countries. The alien who is very much like that nationality.
Nobody seems to mind Batman being British.
But I just had fun on Twitter suggesting an all-British cast.
Superman: The Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill in the title role and will be directed by Zack Snyder. The movie is expected to be released sometime in the Winter of 2012!
