Matthew Goode as Superman?

Matthew Goode as Superman?

According to Movienewz.com, a new name has been thrown into the ring for title of Man of Steel: British actor Matthew Goode, who portrayed Ozymandias for Zack Snyder in Watchmen.

Says Movienewz, "According to our sources, Snyder wants Goode to play mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent and has plans to rely heavily on CGI for The Man of Steel. Essentially this means Superman could be a CG enhanced character, similar to what Warner Bros. is doing with the Green Lantern costume. This would certainly eliminate the need to cast based on the physical stature of Superman... Goode has experience acting with visual effects and stated in past interviews that he worked well with Zack Snyder’s “enthusiastic” directing style. Snyder has a history of bring back his actors to work on new projects; Carla Gugino, Abbie Cornish and Gerard Butler have all made two films with the director."

What do you think of this possibility and the notion of a CG-enhanced Superman?

Im gonna have to say NO on him being superman. Id boycott the movie after the shit he pulled on the Watchmen set. He doesn't deserve to be in anymore CBMs ever again.

Snyder relies waaay to heavily on CG. In some cases it works well, but not for superman. As far as Goode for Supes, I'm gonna say pass.

Yeah, Snyder, if ever you should listen to the online community, it's now--"NOT HIM!!" A good actor I'm sure he is, but that dude isn't Superman, bulked up and CGI enhanced (which is Hyper-lame btw) or no.

this would be bad casting,if you pick anyone from the watchmen it should the guy who played dr.manhatten billy crudup & maybe malin akerman or carla gugino for lois lane.

but even though i said those names it still should be someone else.

@deadpool billy crudup is 5 ft 8 in (173 cm), even though he's a good actor, if he was choosen people would go crazy because he's too "short" to play superman

Hopefully not. But, if this is true, then that does imply they are considering non-Americans for the role, and hopefully they at least consider Cavill as well.

Jesus, they'd need to spend the entire [frick]ing budget to make this guy look like Superman! He was a so-so Ozymandias and is a pretty poor actor in general. With all the young, talented unknows and known actors out there, this idiot can't be the best they could find!
jazzman
jazzman - 11/21/2010, 11:49 AM
@CaptainProg

but Ryan Reynolds played a Superhero already lol

@teabag

HAHAHAHA

but yeah BBC Sherlock is great RDJ needs to bow down to Benedict Cumberbatch

teabag/jazzman: I'm not a fan of that new TV version of Sherlock Holmes to be honest. I'd like to see the Downey/Law versions kick both their modern day asses in fact! :P
