IESB: When you started your acting career, could you ever have imagined that you'd be playing superheroes, spies, and comic book characters? Does it feel like you're getting to live out all of your childhood fantasies through your work?

Brandon: It's pretty cool. I don't know what I expected. I certainly don't think I expected to play Superman. Comics weren't even that big at the time. I started in late ‘99, and that was before all the comic book movies came out. 'The Matrix' had just come out, the year before. There's one thing left that I haven't done, and that's to be in a medieval type film and sword fight. That will happen at some point, I'm sure, but that's the one that I'm still looking forward to.

IESB: Have you heard anything at all on the status of the Superman franchise? Is that something that you want to go back to?

Brandon: I would love to go back to Superman. As I have matured, as a person and as an actor, I feel like I have a lot more to give and would love to revisit the character, if I am given that opportunity. That was an amazing experience for me, and I look forward to doing it again, if I have the opportunity. And if not, then I move on and continue on. I'm grateful for all the other opportunities that I have and for the great films that I have coming out this year.

IESB: So you haven't actually heard anything from them, at this point?

Brandon: No, I have not.
