An anonymous source over at Geek Files is claiming that after many rumors of the contrary casting for Zack Snyder's reboot of
Superman has still not begun:
"casting has
NOT started at Warner Bros".
The source also said that there will be no recreation of past films.
They are going for something completely different:
"not re-creating anything or anyone that has been done or seen before, such as Christopher Reeve or Brandon Routh.
The studio is going for a new look altogether".
A former model turned actor Anderson Davis is considered a strong candidate for the role due to having the right look.
Geek Files had a chance to talk to Davis:
"I think most are bored with the inner battle and self-discovery Superman has gone through. This Superman needs to become more sure of himself and then start kicking some ass. Bottom line, I think people want to see some gut-wrenching true emotion from their Superman and I can give them that."
"As for this Superman reboot I think it is a simple recipe for success: Give the people a bad ass Superman, not a guy that always has to keep his 'hands clean;' you give the people a hero they can relate to and look up all at the same time, so they can feel his heart and passion for what he stands for, and you will have an awesome flick."
