Jake Gyllenhaal is reportedly in the running to play Superman in the upcoming Warner Bros. attempt to revive the film franchise.
"Yes, Jake is being considered for Superman. The WB was so impressed by Jake's strong second place showing for the run for Batman among the fan community and the Yahoo polls that he's being considered for the Man of Steel," a studio source told Moviehole. "Since that project is still waaaay up in the air, I don't think there's a definite short list though some of the original Batman contenders would be on there. Jake pumped up for Batman and he was smart enough not to let the new bod go to waste."
Also, director Michael Bay (Bad Boys) is hinting he may replace McG as director on his own Web site.
